The Retreat Costa Rica
Founded in 2014 by best-selling author and wellness coach, Diana Stobo, The Retreat Costa Rica is a luxury wellness boutique resort that brings you back to nature and wholeness. Although it is just a 40-minute drive from San Juan International Airport, you will feel miles away from civilization atop this mountain resort overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Perched atop a healing mountain, guests take in the rain rainforest and truly transform themselves enhanced by several wellness packages.
Simple yet elegant accommodations
What is truly impressive is the level of intimacy. Situated on 60 hectares, The Retreat has 13 elegantly decorated rooms with peace and harmony in mind. With Deluxe and Premium rooms to choose from,
each room is named after the plants and foods grown on the property. Wake up to the songs of the birds and engage in the healing crystals provided in each room.
Farm-to-table gourmet food
One thing you will find at The Retreat Costa Rica is the belief that we are what we eat. That is why food is an integral part of your experience. The two organic restaurants serve farm-to-table cuisine, and you can learn how to cook your favorite recipes to continue healthy eating at home. Guests benefit from an anti-inflammatory menu with no refined sugar and no refined grains. All the food is fresh and most grown right on the property or locally sourced, even the coffee. If you would like to continue healthy eating at home, The Retreat welcomes you to take cooking classes on site. Education is key to lasting health and wellness!
