nosara, costa rica

may 4-9, 2026

for the:
lovers

Costa Rica has been my second home for over 10 years and it’s the place I feel most like myself. There’s a rawness to the jungle that inspires authenticity and a magic that makes my heart beat a little faster. Bringing you with me to this place I call “home” is something I look forward to every year. This retreat has sold out quickly, the past four years, making it our Fan Favorite of 2026. Our most light-hearted retreat on the list, it’s a vacation rooted in wholeheartedness - soaking in the joys of movement, ocean time, and the simplicity of being.

retreat intention: wholeheartedness

primary chakras: heart

five (5) nights accommodation

This jungle villa + yoga-studio combo is our favorite! Located in the heart of Playa Guiones, it’s walking distance to the beach, shops, and cafes. With privacy in the jungle to go inward and reset.

Two (2) daily yoga classes

We’ll kickstart each day with an energizing morning flow and rotate our afternoon practices between restorative and power styles of yoga. This is hands-down my favorite yoga space we get to practice in. It’s surrounded by a lush tropical garden, is bright in the mornings and moody in the afternoon showers.

Daily brunch + Dinner

Breakfast + dinner will be prepared by our favorite plant-based chef in the villas. You’ll have down time mid-day to roam the town and try some local hot spots between beach and yoga time.

One (1) Group Surf Lesson

To fully enjoy the elements of Costa Rica, we’ll have one group surf session. It’s totally optional, of course, but it’ll give you the opportunity to try something new + challenging. Experienced surfers are welcome to rent a board instead. Or paddle out with a local guide to refine your skills in the lineup. All-levels welcome.

Pink Sand Island boat trip

Our local crew is awaiting our annual arrival. We’ve been going to Nosara for years and have the coolest ocean guides for our sunset sail. This trip includes a coastal cruise, a swim around Pink Sand Island, and (hopefully) incredible wildlife encounters - quintessential Costa Rica. Drinks, coconuts, and fresh fruit included. Salud!

surf + sail

Sometimes one boat trip just isn’t enough. This second trip to sea will have the option for experienced surfers to paddle out at a secret spot. While the rest drink cocos locos and vibe out on the boat and swim around. Then, we’ll all sail the coastline together, soaking in more Pura Vida magic. It sounds like a cheesy postcard but it’s oh-so real.

HAPPY HOUR @ la luna

Sunset culture in Costa Rica is the best! We’ll spend one evening at Playa Pelada - a tropical cove around the corner from Playa Guiones (our main hub). Grab your sunnies and a Spritz (or local lager) and soak in the slow pace of life before dinner.

common questions

Q: What time is check in?
A: You can arrive at our villas any time after 4pm on May 4.

Q: Is Costa Rica safe?
A: The safest! As a solo female traveler, this is something I take very seriously, too. Costa Rica is so safe, in fact, they’re one of the few countries without a military. Just follow standard safety protocol while traveling anywhere and you’ll be good!

Q: I’m nervous about getting to the destination alone. Can you help me?
A: Of course! Before the retreat, I will send all of my suggestions for transportation services, including private shuttle options. I will also share with the group when everyone else lands, in case you want to coordinate travel together. Plus, I’ll be on standby at the destination, awaiting your arrival!

Q: Do you need to be a surfer to attend this retreat?
A: Not at all! While there will be a group surf lesson, and an options for experienced surfers to enjoy a secret break, this trip is not surf-centric. If you are a surfer, like me, you’ll have plenty of down time to enjoy the incredible waves of Playa Guiones.
