The property is easily accessible via the new highway, just one hour from the international airport, San José, and the Central Pacific beaches.

Surrounded by lush tropical forest and home to a variety of wildlife, including white-faced monkeys and toucans, the retreat is designed for ultimate relaxation. Meditation benches are thoughtfully placed throughout the natural surroundings, offering peaceful spots for reflection. Hiking trails lead to a serene waterfall, perfect for a rejuvenating dip in crystal-clear waters.

Sustainability is at the heart of the retreat, which holds the esteemed Certificate for Sustainable Tourism from the Costa Rican Institute of Tourism. The property features a pure onsite water source, rainwater retention tanks, solar energy, recycling, an irrigation system, and composting. High-speed fiber optic internet ensures modern connectivity. The organic gardens, hydroponic greenhouse, abundant fruit, herbs, and free-range chickens supply fresh, farm-to-table meals served at the gourmet restaurant on-site.
