The Retreat Costa Rica

Wellness meets luxury at this secluded hideaway, tucked high above the Costa Rican rainforest

Nature, nutrition, and tranquillity converge in the forests of Costa Rica, where—atop a mountain of quartz—luxury and wellness live in perfect harmony. At The Retreat, mind, body, and spirit are nurtured with equal care across rainforest-clad yoga studios, open-air restaurants, sun decks, and lofty rooms. With sweeping views, resident peacocks, and a transformative range of wellness offerings—including a wellness club with ten luxury rooms, a cutting-edge gym, and cuisine by a Michelin-starred chef—rejuvenation is inevitable.

Make the central swimming pool the first stop on your tour. Gleaming white parasols, plush loungers, and vivid bougainvillea lend a Mediterranean touch, while the view remains pure Costa Rica—wild, lush, and endlessly captivating. All rooms feature expansive windows to frame the surrounding beauty, with select suites offering deep soaking tubs and spacious balconies that invite the outdoors in.

Serenity defines the wellness spaces, where calming neutrals and soft lighting set a tranquil tone. Discover tucked-away nooks for meditation, refreshing outdoor showers, and grounding spaces throughout the property. Whether sipping a cocktail in the hot tub, steaming in the sauna, or flowing through yoga in the otherworldly Shala, The Retreat epitomises healing in the hands of nature.

Enjoy your stay!

Wild paths of Costa Rica

Tranquillity takes top billing inside The Retreat, but step beyond and a world of thrilling adventure awaits. Costa Rica is a riot of nature-based activities. Head to premier adventure park Los Sueños for zip lining, horseback riding or an ATV tour through the jungle. Or step into the alien landscape of the Poas volcano crater. Coffee lovers can visit a family-run plantation, followed by an afternoon at the local Atenas farmer’s market. Even the stunning Pacific Coast is within reach. A 45-minute drive takes you to the blissful shores of Playa Mantas where crystal clear waters are perfect for swimming, snorkelling and unwinding.
