Vibrant Vitality In Costa Rica

January 3rd-10th 2026

Ready to step away from the daily grind and hit your internal reset button? This retreat is your personal invitation to set meaningful intentions for a life that feels vibrant, healthy, and full of energy.

You’ll leave feeling strong, refreshed, and deeply connected to your well-being.

Imagine the bliss: Relaxing by the pool or ocean, indulging in daily yoga and meditation, savoring life-giving food, and connecting with an amazing group of women—all at our own private retreat property.

Your sanctuary is nestled on top of a quiet ridge in the coastal oasis of Playa Pelada, a unique surf town known for its laid-back vibe and beautiful beaches. This exclusive space in the jungle, complete with stunning ocean vistas, allows you to immediately immerse yourself in nature and tranquility.

 

Nourish Your Body. Elevate Your Spirit.

Immerse yourself in a daily rhythm of self-care, enveloped by the stunning beauty of nature. This is your chance to deepen all aspects of your yoga practice, reconnect with your inner self, and rediscover the incredible potential and strength of your body.

Your week will feature twice-daily yoga sessions to nurture your body and mind, leaving you feeling refreshed, grounded, and truly strong. Balance your practice with essential downtime—relax by the pool, enjoy local excursions, and build heartfelt connections for a deeply life-affirming week.

Nourish Your Vitality 

Our private chef crafts gourmet, plant-based cuisine using primarily locally sourced, organic ingredients. Every dish is prepared with care and love, providing deep nourishment that energizes your body and leaves you feeling vibrant and revitalized.

The cuisine reflects the region’s focus on wellness and longevity, as we are located in Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula, one of the world’s famous Blue Zones. Your diet here will feature naturally anti-inflammatory whole foods like fresh fruits, vegetables, legumes, and grains—the keys to a healthy, balanced, and vital life.

Our Retreat Home: Casas Kismet

 

 

 

Casas Kismet is your private sanctuary and home for the week. Imagine staying surrounded by lush jungle, yet just a 12-minute walk to one of the most stunning beaches in the world.

It’s perfectly situated steps from the world-class surfing beaches of Playa Pelada, offering the ideal environment to relax, renew, and deeply reconnect with yourself and nature.

There is a beautiful pool, with an adjacent bar and dining area and the friendliest staff you will ever meet. The property is surrounded by mature trees, flowers, magical scents and of course amazing wildlife, including howler monkeys!

Flow, Focus, and Rest: Our Daily Rhythm

 

Start your day with the pure luxury of morning Flow Yoga. You’ll practice in our open-air studio, overlooking the jungle and ocean, cooled by gentle breezes and the soft hum of ceiling fans. Each morning will have a different themed class.

Evening classes will shift to deeper inner work with sessions focused on breathwork, meditation, and a slowed down practice, followed by a calming Yoga Nidra session, ensuring you end the day feeling profoundly relaxed and restored.

Your Luxurious Accommodations

 

Your home for the week, “Casas Kismet,” features newly renovated accommodations spread across two main houses.

We’ve ensured your comfort with air conditioning, dedicated WiFi, and kitchenettes for convenience. Each room offers a touch of boutique luxury with products from Raw Botanicals.

All rooms feature private en-suite bathrooms and their own outdoor spaces—the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the sounds of the jungle’s birds and howler monkeys. We offer a range of unique layouts to suit your needs, from private king suites to shared double rooms and rooms with four beds.

Outdoor Living & Dining

 

The glorious climate in Costa Rica allows us to embrace true outdoor living. We’ll enjoy all of our meals poolside, making every breakfast, lunch, and dinner an immersive experience.

Your week features a Blue Zone plant-based menu, prepared with love by our private chef. This is truly life-giving food that will leave you feeling completely full of vitality and energy.

The Food….

 

Plant-focused cuisine is undoubtedly one of the highlights of your stay at Casas Kismet. The high-quality, fresh, nutritious, and wholesome food we eat each day has a powerful effect—it’s designed to actively revitalize your body from the inside out.

Meals here are more than just nourishment; they’re fun, social events. Served in our beautiful poolside outdoor dining area, they’re a wonderful opportunity to connect with fellow guests, make new friends, share life experiences, and laugh.
