Muay Thai, Yoga & Surf Wellness Escape in the Costa Rican Jungle

This eight-day retreat is for anyone who wants to combine serious Muay Thai training with yoga, surfing, and the freedom to shape their own holiday. Whether you are new to martial arts or already train regularly, the programme is built around technique, partner drills, and light sparring rather than full-contact fighting, and every session is optional. If you would rather spend an afternoon by the pool or exploring waterfalls, that is entirely your call.

You will stay at Jungle's Edge, a resort perched on the edge of the jungle just minutes from Playa Guiones in Nosara, on Costa Rica's Guanacaste coast. The property is surrounded by banana trees, howler monkeys, and lush greenery, yet you are never far from the beach. Facilities include a 70,000-gallon saltwater pool—voted one of the top ten coolest pools in the world—plus fibre-optic WiFi throughout, bathroom and shower blocks, and a communal kitchen.

A typical training day begins at seven in the morning with a yoga class led by a professional instructor. After breakfast you head into your first 90-minute Muay Thai session, guided by at least two experienced fighters who focus on building your technique through drills and controlled sparring. Lunch follows, then a second Muay Thai session in the afternoon. Evenings are mostly free: you might surf at Playa Guiones, join a group dinner at a local restaurant, or simply relax. One day is left completely open so you can explore Nosara, take an ATV tour, hike to a waterfall, or do nothing at all. The week ends with a bonfire on the beach before you check out on the final morning.

Accommodation options range from enclosed glamping huts with private bathrooms and kitchenettes to brand-new casitas with air conditioning, hot water, and a queen bed plus two singles, to private jungle rooms with a mini-fridge and en-suite bathroom, right up to a two-bedroom Lotus Grande suite with a fully equipped kitchen and furnished patios. All rooms sit within the jungle setting and come with fibre-optic WiFi.

Your package includes seven nights of lodging, three nutritious meals a day—local Costa Rican dishes like casado and fresh-caught fish alongside Western staples such as pasta and pizza—plus a freshly made tropical smoothie or juice every day. Vegetarian, vegan, keto-friendly, low-fat, and sugar-conscious diets can all be catered for. You also get daily yoga, two daily Muay Thai sessions, insightful group talks and exercises, access to the saltwater pool and beach, and either a surf lesson with a professional instructor or a 60-minute massage. One day is breakfast only so you can sample a nearby restaurant, where meals typically cost around ten to twenty dollars. Flights, airport transfers, travel insurance, visa fees, alcoholic drinks, laundry, and activities outside the itinerary are not included.
