7 Day Jungle Yoga and Wellness Retreat with Volcano Views in Costa Rica

The retreat is built around flexibility. There's no fixed schedule you have to follow — you can join the daily yoga classes, take part in the cacao workshop, book a massage, or just spend your days wandering the forest trails. The example itinerary gives a sense of a typical day: yoga at 7am, breakfast, then free time until lunch, with the spa circuit and optional sunset yoga in the afternoon.

What makes this place different is the setting and the people. The property sits on 22 hectares of forested land above Lake Arenal, with views of the volcano and the valley below. The on-site permaculture farm supplies much of the food for the kitchen, and you're welcome to walk through it any time. There's also a Temazcal sweat lodge and a naturopathic doctor available for consultations — not something you find at every yoga retreat.

The yoga is led by teachers like Alejandro, a certified Hatha yoga teacher with 300 hours of training, and the founder Nico, who started the project after his own health transformation. The classes are described by guests as a good mix of spiritual and physical. If you're new to yoga, you'll be fine — the levels are beginner to advanced, and the small group size means you get personal attention.

One thing guests mention again and again is the food. The kitchen is vegetarian and vegan, farm-to-table style, using produce from the farm and local farmers. Reviews specifically call out the quality and variety. You'll eat three meals a day at the on-site restaurant, with natural drinks and naturopathic teas depending on your detox needs.

The area around the retreat is worth exploring on your days off. There are forest trails leading to a waterfall, natural hot springs, horseback riding, and kayaking on Lake Arenal. The retreat can arrange activities, or you can head out on your own. Evening options include sunset yoga three times a week, or just an early night — the recommended bedtime is 9pm.
