The Retreat Costa Rica, Costa Rica

Perched atop a crystal quartz mountain in Atenas, The Retreat Costa Rica is an award-winning luxury wellness hotel designed for those seeking to reset, recharge, and reconnect. Just 40 minutes from San José, this 25-room boutique retreat offers an intimate yet expansive escape, surrounded by lush rainforest, fresh mountain air, and sweeping views that extend to the Pacific Ocean.

Founded by wellness pioneer Diana Stobo, The Retreat blends natural beauty with elevated design and deeply personalized wellness. Guests can choose a fully guided wellness journey or simply arrive as they are to dine, relax, and enjoy the property at their own pace. Every detail is intentional, creating a space that feels both luxurious and deeply grounding, like a home in one of the most breathtaking settings in Costa Rica.

Wellness at The Retreat Costa Rica is immersive, personalized, and designed to deliver real results. At the heart of the experience is the award-winning Vida Mia Healing Center and Spa, offering a blend of Eastern and Western therapies, from Ayurvedic treatments and lymphatic therapies to advanced IV infusions and restorative bodywork.

The experience expands into the Santosha Wellness Club, a state-of-the-art wellness hub featuring a fully equipped gym, expansive yoga shala, and thoughtfully designed movement and recovery spaces. Guests have access to a dynamic schedule of daily wellness activities, including yoga, guided hikes, fitness classes, sound healing, and cultural experiences that connect them to the natural surroundings.

For those seeking deeper transformation, personalized wellness packages are available, including detox, emotional healing, fitness, and longevity-focused programs. Each program combines nutrition, movement, treatments, and expert guidance to create a tailored and impactful experience. For others, the flexibility to enjoy spa treatments, movement classes, and relaxation at their own pace makes the experience equally rewarding.

Dining at The Retreat Costa Rica is a central part of the wellness experience, offering three distinct restaurants that celebrate both nourishment and flavor through authentic Costa Rican cuisine.

Sol Terrace Restaurant is the foundation, known for its signature anti-inflammatory menu. Dishes are plant-forward, gluten-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free, designed to support healing while remaining vibrant and satisfying. Ingredients are locally sourced, many grown on property, and prepared fresh daily.

La Diosa Poolside Lounge offers a more relaxed, social atmosphere with Costa Rican inspired dishes, fresh juices, and handcrafted cocktails served in an open-air setting surrounded by nature.

Mystique Rooftop Fine Dining delivers a more elevated culinary experience in an elegant rooftop setting, where authentic Costa Rican flavors are reimagined with refined technique and creativity, all set against panoramic sunset views.

Whether following a wellness program or simply indulging in the experience, dining here is both intentional and enjoyable.
