AWARD-WINNING LUXURY WELLNESS RESORT<\/h3>\n

The Retreat Costa Rica<\/a><\/strong> is an award-winning luxury wellness resort synonymous with holistic renewal and tranquility. It has a spectacular location atop a massive mountain of crystal quartz – renowned in the wellness world for its energetic and healing vibrations – in Atenas, a region known for one of the best climates in the world. This secluded location with panoramic views acts as a natural barrier against the hustle and bustle of everyday life. <\/p>\n

Connection to the surrounding jungle<\/h3>\n

The architecture is open, modern and organic, designed to blur the line between inside and outside. High ceilings, large expanses of glass and the use of natural materials provide a constant connection to the surrounding jungle. The atmosphere is serene, intimate and sophisticated. Here you enter a healing environment where you can relax and feel connection to the elements. <\/p>\n

Santosha<\/h3>\n

Recently, Santosha was added to the resort, an enclave within the resort that takes it to an even higher level of luxury. This modern extension, built around a monumental, sacred Guanacaste tree, includes ultra-luxurious lofts with 180-degree ocean views, a social wellness club with a state-of-the-art gym, a serene yoga shala and Mystique, an unforgettable rooftop dining experience overlooking the mountains and coastline. <\/p>\n
