6-Day Private Luxury Wellness Retreat on an Untouched Costa Rican Beach

The retreat runs for six days and five nights at Rancho De Linda, a modern Tico ranch house that's been hosting guests since 1998. The property is all gardens, saltwater pools, and wide ocean views, set on a low cliff above Playa Azul. You'll have a private room with a king or queen bed, air conditioning, a lounge area that works as an office, and a bathroom with a volcanic stone shower. The yoga deck fits eight mats and faces west, so you're looking at the waves and sunsets while you practice.

Days follow a gentle rhythm. A self-guided beach walk first thing, then a morning mindfulness sit, then a tailored yoga session. Brunch comes after, then the rest of the day is yours. Restorative yoga in the late afternoon, sunset satsang, then dinner. Nothing is rushed and nothing is mandatory. The entire schedule is adjusted around you—if you want more free time, less, a different class time, it's all on the table.

The experience is built on exclusive use of the space and the teacher. You are not sharing Irena's attention with a group. That means the practice can go much deeper than it could in a class of ten or twenty, because everything is corrected, adjusted, and developed for your body. Anouk, who came to deepen her practice as part of teacher training, said her postures and techniques improved so much that she left 'feeling calm and refreshed.' Julie, who wanted a physical and mental reset, ended up with a daily practice she could sustain on her own. This is the kind of retreat where you leave with tangible skills, not just a tan.
