6 Day Private Luxury Yoga & Mindfulness Wellness Escape in Costa Rica

The retreat is a private, customised experience, shaped around you. Before booking, you'll have a call with Irena to talk about your experience, goals, and what you're hoping to get from the week. From there, she builds a daily yoga and mindfulness program tuned to your level—whether that means supporting an ongoing Ashtanga practice or starting from scratch and building a foundation. Because it's private, there's no waiting for a group and no pressure to keep up with anyone else. Every session is just you and Irena.

A typical day unfolds on a loose rhythm: a self-guided walk on the beach at 7:30am, a short morning mindfulness sit, a two-hour yoga session by 8:30am, then brunch. The middle of the day is yours—swim in the saltwater pool, doze in a hammock, explore Playa Azul, or book an optional massage or surf lesson. At 4:30pm there's restorative yoga, then sunset meditation on the deck looking over the ocean, and dinner around 6:30pm. The schedule is an example rather than a rule; because the retreat is private, sessions can move to fit how you're feeling.

The villa, Rancho De Linda, sits on a low cliff directly above Playa Azul and has been hosting travellers and yogis since 1998. It's a modern Tico ranch house set in gardens, with two saltwater pools and an ocean-facing open yoga deck that fits eight mats. Rooms are spacious with private entrances, AC, and volcanic stone showers in the bathrooms. The food is cooked by a private chef (guests consistently name the meals as a highlight), using fresh, local produce, with vegetarian, vegan, and pescatarian options plus custom juice detox days if you want them. Breakfast after the morning practice and an early dinner are included, with fruit for snacks and a couple of local restaurants nearby if you want lunch out.

What makes it different from a group yoga retreat is the level of attention. Reviews from past guests talk about how much their practice improved in six days because Irena spotted and corrected details in their postures, and how she adapted everything to their needs. It's also a very flexible booking—you pick your dates, and the retreat runs with as few as one guest. If you want a quiet reset, a chance to deepen your yoga, or a luxury beach holiday with genuinely healthy food and real instruction, this fits.
