Wellness Retreats

Pura Vida is the the essence to a long and healthy life, Costa Rican style. Villa Estrella’s region of Costa Rica is listed as one of five areas worldwide where more people live measurably longer lives. That’s a great reason to enjoy a wellness retreat with us. Customize a 5-star wellness retreat that includes a combination of the following elements:

Fitness

Whether it’s yoga, pilates, and water aerobics on the grounds of Villa Estrella or volcano hiking, kayaking, nature walks, and stand up paddleboarding nearby, there are plenty of opportunities to revive your body during your stay.

Nature

Watch howler monkeys feed on the flowering trees, follow pods of dolphins, relax in therapeutic hot springs, and snorkel with the tropical fish on the Bay of Papagayo. Costa Rica is alive with natural elements. Reconnect with nature on your next retreat.

Culture

Pura Vida is more than a system of principles; it’s the Costa Rican way of life that promotes health, balance and stress-free living. Learn how to incorporate this way of life by immersing yourself in Costa Rican culture. Meet with local artists who focus on unique ceramic and wooden pottery and figurines, learn to cook the “Costa Rican” way, take a salsa lesson, or improve your Spanish language skills!

Gourmet Cuisine

Clean eating is our mantra. Led by Chef Alberto, the Villa Estrella expert food and beverage team prepares delicious and nutritious meals and serves them to you al fresco in one of our outside dining areas. From fresh local fish and seasonal vegetables to flavorful salsas and sauces, your tastebuds will be consistently stimulated! We can cater to any dietary restriction including gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian, paleo, and unique food allergies.

R&R

Let the Villa Estrella staff cater to your every need. Relax on one of several outside balconies letting the soft breezes lull you into a sweet afternoon siesta. Listen to the rhythm of the tide as you lounge seaside. Take a leisurely swim in the infinity pool overlooking the Bay of Papagayo or relax with a massage at the Villa’s dedicated outdoor studio.
