For retreat leaders

A venue your participants won't forget

You've built the program. You know the content. What you need is a space that does the rest — that shifts people out of their routine the moment they arrive and holds them there for the duration. The Villa is a private beachfront estate in Esterillos Oeste on Costa Rica's central Pacific coast. When you book it for your retreat, the entire property is yours. No other guests, no resort noise, no shared dining room. Your group wakes up to the Pacific, practices on a beachfront lawn, eats together at one long table, and sleeps in private king suites. The setting does half the work for you.

Your retreat spaces

Three spaces. One private estate.

The main floor

Open-concept living with 18-foot ceilings and floor-to-ceiling glass on both sides. Enough space for group workshops, breathwork, movement sessions, or talks. A long communal dining table seats everyone together. This is where your group connects.

The beachfront lawn

A wide, flat lawn that opens directly onto the Pacific — no road, no barrier. Sunrise yoga with the ocean in front of you. Walking meditation on the sand. Evening circles under the stars. The outdoor space retreat leaders wish every venue had.

The pool terrace

Over 300 square metres of covered outdoor living wrapping around the infinity pool and jacuzzi. A shaded, open-air alternative for sessions when you want to be outside without direct sun. The Pacific is the backdrop.

Six private king suites

Every participant gets their own king suite with ensuite bathroom. Some open to the pool, others to the beach lawn. No shared rooms, no bunk beds — your participants rest properly and arrive to each session ready.

Chef's kitchen

A fully equipped kitchen with space for a private chef to prepare retreat meals — from plant-based to local Costa Rican cuisine. Self-catering is also possible. Los Almendros, an award-winning farm-to-table restaurant, is steps away.

Exclusive hire

The property is booked to one group at a time. Your retreat occupies the entire estate for the full duration — 3 to 14 days. No interruptions, no strangers, no compromise on the container you've created.

★★★★★

"I've hosted retreats in Nosara, Uvita, and Guanacaste. The Villa is the best venue I've found on the Pacific coast. The beachfront lawn alone is worth the booking — but the suites, the kitchen, the total privacy sealed it."

— Daniela M., Yoga & Wellness Retreat Leader

Available on request

Bring your program. We'll handle the rest.

Most retreat leaders bring their own facilitators and program. We provide the venue and can arrange everything else locally.

Yoga instruction. Local certified yoga teachers available for daily classes — Vinyasa, Hatha, Yin, restorative. Or bring your own teacher and use the beachfront lawn and main floor as your practice spaces.

Massage & bodywork. Licensed massage therapists come to the property for individual sessions. Deep tissue, Swedish, Thai — scheduled around your program.

Surf coaching. Esterillos Oeste and nearby Playa Hermosa offer consistent breaks for all levels. Surf instructors and board hire can be arranged for your group — a natural complement to any wellness program.

Private chef. A dedicated chef preparing meals tailored to your retreat — plant-based, Ayurvedic, local Costa Rican, or whatever your program calls for. Served at the long communal table on the main floor.

Airport transfers. Private group transport from San José International Airport (SJO) — approximately 90 minutes. Arranged in advance so your participants arrive and depart smoothly.

Sample day

What a retreat day looks like here

Every retreat is different. This is one way a day might unfold.

6:30
Sunrise on the lawn. The Pacific is still flat. Macaws cross overhead. Your group gathers on the beachfront lawn for morning practice.
8:00
Breakfast together. The long communal table on the main floor. Fresh fruit, local coffee, something warm from the chef.
9:30
Morning session. Workshop, talk, or guided practice on the main floor — 18-foot ceilings, glass walls, jungle on both sides.
12:30
Lunch & free time. Eat on the terrace. Swim in the pool. Walk the beach. Nap in your suite. Surf at Playa Hermosa (10 minutes).
16:00
Afternoon session. Movement, breathwork, or integration — on the covered pool terrace or the lawn as the heat softens.
18:00
Sunset. The Pacific turns gold. Your group is on the lawn or the pool deck. No agenda — just the day closing out.
19:30
Dinner. The chef serves on the main floor, or your group walks to Los Almendros — award-winning farm-to-table, steps from the gate.
