Overview
Location
Join us February 7–14, 2025, for a transformative 8-day, 7-night retreat at the luxurious Casa Fantasica, tucked into the vibrant jungle of Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica. This retreat is a soul-nourishing escape designed to reconnect you with nature, your body, and your inner rhythm—while enjoying the comforts of a high-end villa. Casa Fantasica offers sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean and the tropical canopy of Manuel Antonio National Park, named one of the world’s 12 most beautiful parks by Forbes. Each day begins and ends with grounding yoga and meditation in our open-air 3D yoga studio, guided by experienced instructors Jen and Julie, and designed to meet you exactly where you are—whether you’re a total beginner or deep in your practice.
In between, enjoy exquisitely prepared meals by our private chef, unwind by the villa’s majestic pool, sip fresh coconut water on the beach, or indulge in a Soma massage at the local spa. Explore the richness of Costa Rica through two unique excursions and a hands-on chocolate-making workshop—or opt for deeper rest on your free days. Whether you come solo or with a friend, this retreat is intentionally created to be both expansive and supportive: a space where you can slow down, reflect, and move with intention. With both shared and private luxury accommodations, group airport transportation, and daily rituals that honor balance, this is more than a vacation—it’s a chance to recalibrate and return home renewed.
Join us for an unforgettable weeklong retreat where nature, beauty, and tranquility come together. Whether you seek relaxation, adventure, or the perfect blend of both, Casa Fantasica offers an experience like no other.
Spaces are limited, and early booking is highly encouraged.
