Home › Retreats › 8-Day Rainforest Reset: Classical Pilates & Mindful Movement Retreat in Costa Rica
Costa Rica · 8 days · From USD 2586
This retreat is more than just a vacation; it's a holistic reset for your body, mind, and spirit. The philosophy at Pandanus is that true well-being comes from listening to your body and embracing flexibility rather than following a rigid schedule. Each day offers a balanced rhythm of classical Pilates, yoga, relaxation, and time to simply breathe in the tropical air.
The daily experience is designed to support your individual needs and energy levels. Mornings begin with fresh fruit and tropical juice, followed by an invigorating Pilates mat or mindful movement session suitable for all levels. After a nourishing organic brunch, afternoons are free for you to relax by the pool, book a private session, explore hidden waterfalls, soak in natural hot springs, or join optional excursions like hanging bridges and local cultural experiences. As the day winds down, you'll gather for an evening Pilates equipment session, followed by a healthy dinner where meaningful conversations and connections flourish.
What makes this retreat truly special is the combined expertise of Ilona Hefty, a master teacher with over 40 years of experience, and the natural tranquility of the surroundings. With only four private bungalows and a maximum of 12 guests, you'll enjoy a peaceful, intimate atmosphere where personalized attention is guaranteed. The retreat is alcohol-free and smoke-free, creating a calm and refreshing environment that supports your journey toward wellness.
Located in the rainforest just 45 minutes from La Fortuna and the Arenal Volcano, Pandanus is surrounded by waterfalls, hot springs, hanging bridges, and abundant wildlife. This location offers the perfect balance of relaxation and adventure, allowing you to connect deeply with nature while still having access to some of Costa Rica's most spectacular attractions. The year-round tropical climate and welcoming atmosphere make this hidden gem an ideal setting to slow down, recharge, and return home with a renewed sense of purpose and vitality.
