Last updated on March 11th, 2023 at 07:32 am

Did you know that, according to the Embassy of Costa Rica, the number of tourists that visit Costa Rica every year is over 1.7 million? Additionally, the majority of these tourists come from Canada and the United States.

Considering that this is such a popular tourism area—with Costa Rica’s beautiful beaches, lush jungles, endless activities in nature, and great places to stay—you might be thinking of planning your next retreat in Costa Rica.

However, you might not be sure where to get started with so many options available. We’re here to explore your options! Costa Rica is a land of captivating beauty, boasting breathtaking beaches, verdant tropical forests, and a plethora of other natural wonders. It’s no wonder why this Central American paradise is such a popular destination for multi-family vacations. Read on to learn more.

What Is a Retreat?

Before we dive into the types of retreats and how to plan one, we’ll answer the question, “What is a retreat?” After all, it’s a lot like a vacation in that you’re going somewhere else and escaping the humdrum nature of everyday life. But it isn’t like one because you aren’t just lounging, either.

At the same time, a retreat isn’t as regimented as a workshop or as business-oriented as a team-building trip a business might plan for its employees.

A retreat is somewhere in the middle of this. It’s an opportunity to plan certain activities with a focus on a specific goal—while still being able to enjoy and relax – this is what Costa Rica has to offer.

What Kinds of Retreats Are There?

At Vista Hermosa Estate, we allow a large number of retreats to be hosted at our Villa. These include couples’ retreats, yoga retreats, yoga teacher training, wellness retreats, and meditation retreats. We’ll review these now so you can decide on the perfect Costa Rica location to host your retreat.

Couples Retreats

When you go on a couple’s retreat, you’re going somewhere to get away from it all and focus on your relationship with your partner. This is a chance to reset your relationship and refresh it and reconnect with each other. Why not bring your best friends and couples along for this amazing experience?

Yoga Retreats and Yoga Teacher Training

A yoga retreat in Costa Rica involves booking a location to host your guest, ideally somewhere beautiful where you can do all your yoga exercises in a unique place, such as the beach at sunrise. Imagine your yoga students waking up at first light in our Costa Rica beachfront villa and going straight to class.

There’re many reasons to come to Costa Rica; if you’re planning a yearly yoga retreat for your yogis, consider booking Vista Hermosa Estate for the perfect location to host your guest.

Wellness Retreats

When you go on a wellness retreat, you’re focusing on your health. However, this doesn’t involve an intense exercise program or anything like that. Instead, you’re focusing on mental and emotional well-being in addition to health and fitness.

Meditation Retreats

As for a meditation retreat, this is something you do to focus on your meditation practice. For beginners, it can be a chance to get away from distractions and improve meditation. For people who have more experience meditating, it can be a way to focus on improving their meditation even more.

Corporate Retreats

Why not take your team to an exciting new place? Corporate retreats are a fantastic way for companies of all sizes and industries to show appreciation. With so many options available, it’s hard not to find exactly what you’re looking for: whether it be inspiration or relaxation; Costa Rica is the perfect location for bonding time with coworkers that may not meet again anytime soon, if ever at all!
