What To Expect Day-To-Day

Each day intentionally balances structure and free time.

You’ll have movement classes on the beach in the morning and mindfulness classes in the afternoon, with about six hours of free time each day.

You'll find each day follows a similar flow:

  • Light breakfast

    Morning movement class on the beach

    Brunch at the villa, prepared by our private chef

  • 5-6 hours of free time

    If you’re looking to relax, you can hang at the beach, chill at the villa, walk the jungle trails, get a massage, or explore the shops and restaurants nearby.

    If you’re looking for adventure, we’ll coordinate whatever you’d like - surf lessons, ATV tours, horseback riding, ziplining, snorkeling, and more.

  • Mindfulness class

    Walk to the beach for sunset

    Dinner at our villa, prepared by our private chef

We know the feeling of being pulled in too many directions, with an intense pressure to perform well at everything you do.

Our retreats thoughtfully balance space and structure, giving you an opportunity to slow down and focus on yourself.

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.
