Yoga & Surf Escape in Santa Teresa: The Ultimate Wellness Beach Retreat

Step into the rhythm of pura vida in Santa Teresa, where jungle mornings, ocean sunsets, and intentional living come together in the most magical way. This retreat is hosted by Michelle and Paula, who have made Costa Rica their second home, spending four months every year in Santa Teresa. They've curated every experience based on their own favorite spots—brunch cafes, sunset beaches, and local partners—to create an authentic and personal escape. Guests stay in a beautiful luxury villa in the heart of town, surrounded by lush jungle, just a 6-minute walk from the beach and 4 minutes from local cafes and restaurants.

Each morning begins with an energizing yoga practice at 8:00 AM, led by Michelle, followed by a nourishing breakfast together. Afternoons are filled with surf lessons, cacao ceremonies, creative workshops, sound healing, and even a moon circle. You'll also enjoy a day trip to Playa Hermosa, a pristine beach known for its natural beauty, and two gentle sunset yoga flows as the sun sets over the Pacific. The final full day ends with a reflective sunset beach walk and a farewell dinner where guests are invited to wear white.

What makes this retreat special is the intimate atmosphere—groups are kept small, around 10 participants, ensuring every guest feels seen and cared for. The schedule is well-balanced between structured activities and free time, so you can relax by the pool, explore Santa Teresa, or book optional adventures like horseback riding, ziplining, massages, or reformer Pilates. With daily yoga, surfing, delicious vegetarian breakfasts, and the warm hospitality of Michelle and Paula, this retreat is a true home away from home.
