Four Seasons Resort Peninsula Papagayo Announces Its 2026 Visiting Wellness Practitioners

Four Seasons Resort Peninsula Papagayo, Costa Rica unveils its 2026 Visiting Wellness Practitioners, welcoming an inspiring roster of globally recognized healers, movement specialists, and holistic guides. Now entering its third year, the program continues to serve as a cornerstone of the guest experience, offering immersive encounters with globally respected leaders in holistic wellbeing.

Known for setting the benchmark in wellness travel, Four Seasons Resort Peninsula Papagayo, continues to elevate its programming through dynamic residencies designed to restore, enrich, and transform.

“Our wellness philosophy is grounded in creating spaces and experiences that invite guests to slow down and reconnect,” says Arnaud Dieutegard, Sr. Director of Spa and Wellness. “In 2026, we will further explore the meeting point between wellness and creativity, inviting visiting practitioners to integrate artistic expression into their offerings. From mandala work and journaling to music and painting, these experiences are designed to ground guests while awakening their creative mind, allowing wellness to become a space for self-expression.”

Central to this journey is the Wellness Shala, a purpose-built sanctuary introduced in 2023 and now the heart of wellness programming at the Resort. Designed as a piece of living art and built with natural elements, the Shala invites creativity as much as presence. Open to the elements and immersed in nature, it serves as a space where movement, breathwork, sound, and artistic expression come together to support connection and transformation.

The 2026 program features an inspiring roster of visiting practitioners, including sound healer Harriette Emily, therapeutic yoga teacher Sarah Garden, sound and breathwork practitioner Daniel Byrne, transformational yoga guide Sean Patrick, fitness and mobility expert Melissa Sfredda — alongside a broader collective of healers and artists offering sound journeys, energy work, movement, and creative expression throughout the year.
