Both weeks are SOLD OUT. Info for 2024 will be available soon.

Escape to Paradise and join me for a blissful week in the laid back surf town of Playa Guiones, Nosara. It’s a stunning long sandy beach with awesome waves for surfing and swimming, great for walking and perfect for star gazing. Bask in the tropical air and warm water, enjoy the wildlife and the jaw dropping sunsets.

Get the rhythm of your own nature with expert yoga guidance on this gorgeous yoga deck, meditation, pranayama, getting into the heart of all things yoga. Take time to chill out in a hammock Pura Vida style, to reconnect with yourself, take in the abundance of wildlife, enjoy the excursions on offer.

Our luxury retreat villa is designed for outdoor living with open-air communal spaces and no interior hallways. The villa is immersed in mother nature w/private entrance to the beach. It has an open-air yoga platform on the 2nd floor with breathtaking views of the mountains + occasional cows roaming the field. The wave shaped pool ranges in depth from 3.5-7ft deep and has seating built into the walls. There are magnificent landscaped gardens all around the property: palms, native fruit trees, beautiful flowering plants & trees. It is located in Guiones Beach Club, the only gated community in the area. Guiones Beach Club is only accessible to the homeowners and renters in GBC, so it is quiet, private, and secure. The villa is a healthy walk or short bike ride to most restaurants and town.  

The cuisine is deliciously prepared by our private chef. Retreat include 3 meals daily, we will have one dinner out at which is not included. Local restaurants are super too!
