We know, finding balance in life can sometimes feel like hunting down Nessie. But sometimes, all you need is quality time in nature. Located in the lush forests of Costa Rica, this retreat is all about bringing balance back to your life. Join passionate practitioners and flow through rejuvenating Hatha yoga classes in the open-air studio, and drift into deep relaxation in a group meditation and toning session with quartz singing bowls. And if that doesn’t restore peace to your life, an hour of holistic healing treatments should do the trick.

The venue
Feel at home cradled by nature amidst the mango trees and sounds of the living forest in your simple, elegant suite. Allow yourself to truly relax in the comfort and peace of the mountains that Costa Rica is famous for. Settle into a cool evening with a bottle of Chilean Cabernet and watch the sunset from your private terrace.
In the morning, awaken to the sounds of nature. Take a walk to the stream or hike to where you can see the Nicoya Peninsula in the distance. Meditation is an extra special experience here in Costa Rica. Enjoy all of the amenities and allow us to lift your spirits, and rejuvenate both body and soul, as you escape to the possibilities of this beautiful area of Costa Rica.
Tastefully designed with unique decor to allow you to enjoy the serenity of your surroundings, each Suite comes with its own bathtub, private terrace and garden with outdoor seating. Hardwood furniture and a ceiling made of teak bring the ambience of the forest into your room.
The sleeping area has a comfy queen-sized bed, and an additional double bed can be arranged in the living room if needed. Ceiling fans, a refrigerator, coffee/tea maker, phone, complimentary snacks and TV/DVD player. You may choose out of 250 movies from the Ama Tierras collection.
