Day 1: Welcome and Intention Setting

Start with an intention and let it be the guide throughout the retreat during the cacao ceremony. "The cacao ceremony is a journey within, a sacred dance with the spirit of the cacao plant, opening our hearts and connecting us deeply with ourselves and each other,” says Jose Pablo Rodriguez, Wellness Ambassador. “It is a ritual of love, transformation, and awakening, inviting us to embrace the present moment with gratitude and intention."

Cap the night with a private dinner on the beach with a tailor-made menu.

Day 2:  Spa-Care

Early mornings at the Wellness Shala set the stage for the day. Choose a class from the Visiting Practitioners program or resident yogis. Fuel the body with a smoothie from Bahia followed by a day at the spa. Start with a Volcanic Purification Ritual, a two-hour treatment is completes with scrub and massage, followed by a Detox and Lift facial from ISUN, or a Hamman Herbal Ceramony.

Day 3: Explore Costa Rica
