15 Days, Multiple Departures
Whether you're embarking on a solitary journey, sharing the adventure with a companion, or reveling in the company of friends, we've curated the ultimate retreat experience exclusively for you.
Enter a realm of bliss with our meticulously designed retreats, nestled in the heart of Costa Rica. Situated uniquely, we proudly stand as the sole Retreat Center providing dedicated mat space and daily sessions for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & Muay Thai. Our on-site accommodations and mouthwatering homemade meals enrich the experience. With intimate group sessions and personalized attention, every aspect of our Dojo training is finely honed. Adjacent to the breathtaking Playa Guiones, a prime surfing destination, our locale is perfect for Surf Retreats. For yoga aficionados, we've partnered with the esteemed Bodhi Tree Yoga Institute, just a leisurely stroll away, to offer exceptional yoga sessions as part of our retreat packages. Moreover, nestled in one of the world’s rare Blue Zones, Nosara epitomizes the wellness ethos.
We cater to diverse budgets, presenting a range from cozy rustic glamping cabins to an opulent 6-bedroom hilltop Villa boasting panoramic vistas, its own yoga deck, and an infinity pool. Our sprawling grounds seamlessly merge with the lush jungle, providing guests with an opportunity to commune with Nosara’s natural beauty. From exotic avian species to playful howler monkeys, wildlife thrives, offering an immersive encounter.
At the core of our ethos lie sustainable practices, with much of our produce cultivated using permaculture techniques. Indulge in organic culinary delights at our four-star restaurant, Acachete, fashioned from our homegrown ingredients. Craving a quick rejuvenation? Visit our juice & coffee bar for a revitalizing smoothie or a decadent cappuccino. Elevate your retreat experience with our in-house excursions, tours, and rejuvenating massages.
For over 7 years, our team has been the preferred destination for unforgettable retreats in Nosara. As owner-operators, we infuse a personal touch and foster a familial ambiance, offering a taste of genuine Costa Rican hospitality often absent in larger resorts.

Yes we are!
Yes! Please notify us before your stay and talk to our chef, Warner, about any concerns. Our menu has Paleo, Keto, gluten-free and vegan options, and any meal can be adjusted to fit your other dietary preferences.
We are located just off the main road that leads into town. Both the beach and downtown Guiones are within walking distance, but we are happy to call you a tuk-tuk to get you to and from home base.
It is not essential, but you are more than welcome to bring one. Our glamping hut walls are triple screened to protect from critters while still ensuring airflow. They are not completely insect-proof, so if you feel most comfortable with a bug net, that’s most important!
We don’t think there’s ever a bad time as both seasons offer something truly special! Dry season is generally Dec-May and Wet Season is generally June-Nov. The rain will be at its heaviest in September.
We offer access to high-speed internet all across our grounds, but cell reception is weak in our corner tucked into the jungle. Luckily you don’t need to go far to reach better reception if needed! Most cell providers have WIFI calling too, which works great!
Light clothing, swimwear, and sunblock are all essential. During the rainy season, we recommend a waterproof bag and bug repellent, and for the sunny season a good hat.
We have motion-sensored security cameras positioned around the property in case of any concerns. Our “security guard” is named Rosco, he is an energetic and very friendly Doberman! We always have staff on-site and a front gate that can be securely locked. Yes, all rooms have a safe!
Absolutely and in fact this is very common. We have couples and friends come together often. You CAN mix and match BJJ, Muay Thai, Boxing & Yoga. Ex: If someone in your party wants to do the BJJ retreat, and another the Yoga retreat, just book the party leader’s retreat and add adults to the room. Then you can email us who wants to do what. There is no price difference for BJJ, Muay Thai & Yoga and you will have unlimited access to all. Other Ex: If someone in your party just wants the meal plan, and no activities, or someone wants to do the Surf Retreat, and another the BJJ/Muay Thai or Yoga, email us.
Of course! We even offer Kids BJJ and Kids Muay Thai! They can take surf lessons, too!
It’s all included! Please talk to our staff to sign out a board for the day or week. There is a surf rental fee for those that are not on the Surf Retreat package.
Shuttles before or after your stay, as well as airport shuttles, can be arranged by our staff, but are not included in the cost of your retreat. Surf Retreaters get free Beach Shuttle and Yoga Retreats get free shuttle to and from Bodhi Tree.
An average day here looks different depending on your passion. Our martial artists and yogis will structure their days around the schedules for those classes, while our morning and evening surf shuttle will follow the surf forecast. We usually rise early and head to the beach before the wind and sun intensify. In order to accommodate everyone and their respective schedules, we have flexible mealtime hours. Breakfast can be ordered from 7-10 am, lunch from 12-2 pm, and dinner from 6:30-8:30 pm. Either swing by the onsite restaurant, A Cachete, to socialize with other guests or order to your private room! Outside of these times for meals and activities, you are free to explore the town, book a tour with us, jump in our world class pool or find a quiet corner to work or relax on the property. Choose your own adventure!
