Overview
For those seeking serenity and the sanctuary of an adults-only wellness resort, the The Retreat Costa Rica is heaven-sent. Set just outside of the charming Atenas town in Alajuela, a central valley considered to have “One of the best Climates in the World” by the National Geographic Society, its location on 50 acres overlooking a Quartz Mountain and the Pacific Ocean is as idyllic as the interiors that lie in wait. With 18 unique and elegant rooms, a world-class Healing Center and Spa, two farm-to-table restaurants, an organic coffee plantation, two saltwater pools, and both jungle and river paths, it will instantly immerse you in Costa Rica's exotic and iconic rainforests. Awake to the soothing soundtrack of coos and calls from its native birds, be it the Great-tailed Grackle or the Rufous-tailed Hummingbird to name a few. Nourish yourself through its healing gastronomy (with programs designed by founder and owner Diana Stobo – the award-winning author, celebrity chef and health and wellness life coach). Surrender yourself to its Ayurvedic rituals and holistic wellness retreats. And leave utterly restored with a graceful farewell from their resplendent resident peacocks, aptly named Tarzan and Jane.Accommodations
