7-Day Wellness & Adventure Retreat in Costa Rica

The retreat is based at the In The Shade Hotel, a boutique property in the heart of Tamarindo, a vibrant beach town on Costa Rica's Pacific coast. Each day starts with grounding yoga, tailored to what's on the schedule (a spine stretch after a long flight, hip openers after a hike). Mornings might include a mindful beach walk along the long, clean shoreline, collecting shells or just watching the waves. Afternoons are for adventure: a guided hike through Las Catalinas with a beach picnic, a journey through La Leona's waterfalls and canyons with white-water tubing, or a tranquil estuary tour. One evening includes a visit to the local day market, and another features a sunset dinner right on the beach. The week wraps up with a private catamaran sail into the ocean, a celebratory end to your time in Tamarindo.

Host Michelle has a background in travel, hospitality, and restaurant ownership, and it shows. She personally guides guests to her favorite spots and has carefully vetted every excursion partner, so you're in safe hands. Reviews consistently mention how seamless and supportive the experience feels. Yoga sessions are thoughtfully adapted, the sound bath is a favorite wind-down, and the hotel staff are incredibly attentive. It's a well-run retreat where every detail is looked after, letting you truly switch off and be present.

The retreat offers three distinct flavors: Stillness (restorative, with sound baths and estuary tours), Adventure (energizing, with waterfall hikes and tubing), and Signature (a fully customizable blend of both). Whichever you pick, you'll enjoy the same core structure: daily yoga, delicious meals, the catamaran sail, and the chance to connect with a small group of like-minded travelers. It's perfect for solo travelers, couples, or groups who want an unforgettable week in one of Costa Rica's most beautiful regions.
