Travel has long been associated with adventure, exploration, and the thrill of new experiences. But, in recent years, an emerging form of vacation has been carving a distinct space for itself: wellness retreats. For those caught up in the hustle of everyday life or even those seeking respite from conventional vacations, wellness retreats can fundamentally recalibrate your life. This effect isn’t merely anecdotal, their positive impact is rooted in science.Retreats are often set in natural havens like forests, deserts, or mountains, and there’s a reason for that. Research has demonstrated time and time again that nature has the potential to reduce blood pressure, anxiety, fatigue, heart rate, and more.
Now, Nayara in Costa Rica is offering its own 6-night holistic wellness retreat in the heart of the verdant Costa Rican rainforest. Scheduled for August 12-18 or October 9-15, our retreats offer the perfect blend of mindful practices, physical activities, and nourishing cuisine against the backdrop of the majestic Arenal Volcano.
Our program draws inspiration from the Sanskrit word ‘sukha,’ meaning ‘equilibrium,’ and is designed for individuals seeking to restore balance to their lives. Each of the two retreats coincides with the New Moon, adding an additional powerful element. Our October retreat goes one step further and occurs during a spectacular annular solar eclipse, also known as the “ring of fire.”
