Relax and Recharge
Morgan Evans
“Sand & Salt Escapes was one of the most transformative weeks of my life. I can’t recommend this trip enough. Your soul will thank you!”
The Blue Zone: Where people live longer, healthier, and happier.
There are some places in the world you have to visit to understand their magic.
Nosara is one of those places.
Nestled at the edge of the jungle and ocean, Nosara, Costa Rica is the wellness epicenter of the Nicoya Peninsula, one of five blue zones in the world. It attracts people from all over the globe who are passionate about wellness.
Who are the retreats for?
Our guests come from all walks of life, professions, and ages. The biggest commonality is a desire to slow down and focus on their wellbeing. Our guests are open minded and value personal growth.
For many guests, it’s their first time doing breathwork or experiencing a sound bath - and the retreat ignites a new realm of exploration when they return home. For other guests, it’s an opportunity to deepen their practice. Regardless of experience level, our guests appreciate the impact mindfulness has on their wellbeing.
If you’re ready for a week of focusing on yourself and are open to trying new things, we have a week that will far exceed your expectations.
Anyone who wants to slow down and focus on their wellbeing.
