About Nicoya Peninsula Retreats

The Nicoya Peninsula is one of the world's five Blue Zones — regions where people routinely live past 100. Its wellness economy is built on that quiet credential: plant-forward kitchens, slow mornings, ocean swims at sunset.

Architecture is open-air by default — palapa roofs, lime-washed walls, outdoor showers — so the climate, the sound of howler monkeys, and the salt are part of every treatment.

Signature Rituals

01

Sunrise vinyasa on cliffside platforms above Playa Hermosa.

02

Cacao ceremony grounded in indigenous Chorotega tradition.

03

Temazcal — a pre-Columbian sweat lodge using local medicinal herbs.
