The environment in which a retreat takes place matters.
Ancient Soul Retreats lies in the green mountains of Costa Rica’s Nicoya region, away from crowded tourist centres and surrounded by tropical nature. Mountain views, gardens, walking trails and the sound of birds and flowing water create a natural transition out of everyday life.
This is not simply accommodation with a room for yoga. The entire finca is being shaped around the needs of intimate retreats: privacy, presence, nourishing food, meaningful gathering spaces and a direct relationship with the living landscape.
Your participants can move naturally between guided sessions, shared meals, quiet reflection and time outdoors. They can practise in the open-air shala, rest in peaceful accommodation, walk through the gardens or visit the waterfall.
The result is a retreat experience that feels held without feeling controlled, comfortable without becoming disconnected from nature, and intimate enough for genuine connection.
Ancient Soul Retreats is especially suited to:
Ancient Soul Retreats is intentionally small.
With a maximum capacity of 12 people in total—including the host, any co-facilitator and retreat participants—your group is not lost inside a large resort or sharing the property with unrelated groups. The intimate scale supports personal attention, deeper connection and a stronger sense of community.
It also gives you the freedom to shape the daily rhythm around your own program rather than adapting your retreat to the timetable of a hotel.
Your retreat group enjoys private use of the guest accommodation, yoga shala and shared retreat areas during your stay.
This creates a contained environment in which participants can relax, be themselves and remain connected to the retreat process throughout the day. There are no competing programs, crowded communal areas or unfamiliar resort guests moving through your group experience.
The finca is surrounded by tropical vegetation, mountain views and open sky.
Participants can begin the morning with birdsong, practise surrounded by nature, share meals in the open air and allow the slower rhythm of the land to become part of the retreat.
A secluded 70-metre waterfall and natural walking routes offer space for reflection, mindful walks, nature practices or simply an unforgettable moment away from the program.
The covered open-air shala provides a dedicated space for yoga, meditation, breathwork, movement and embodiment, sound journeys, group circles, teaching sessions, workshops and personal-development practices.
Its open design keeps your group sheltered while maintaining a direct connection with the surrounding landscape.
Ancient Soul Retreats is part of a living finca shaped by regenerative agriculture, agroforestry, permaculture and food-forest principles.
Fruit trees, herbs, flowers, edible plants and native vegetation form an evolving landscape around the retreat spaces. Wherever possible, ingredients from the finca and nearby producers become part of the meals served to your group.
This is not decorative landscaping added around a hotel. The land itself is part of the experience.
No two retreats are the same.
Before your arrival, we take time to understand your purpose, program, group and practical requirements. Together, we consider the room arrangement, daily schedule, dietary needs, session setup, transportation and any excursions or nature experiences you would like to include.
During the retreat, our role is to support the environment and practical flow so that you can remain focused on your participants.
You lead the transformation. We help take care of the setting, nourishment and practical details.
Ancient Soul Retreats accommodates a maximum of 12 retreat guests in peaceful, bohemian-inspired spaces designed to feel connected to the landscape.
The accommodation offers a combination of private and shared sleeping arrangements, allowing us to explore the most suitable configuration for your group. Each space is intended to provide simplicity, comfort and a quiet place to rest and integrate between sessions.
When you request the venue details, please tell us:
We will provide the available room configuration and help you determine whether it suits your group and pricing model.
Food is an essential part of a retreat. It affects energy, concentration, rest and the way participants feel cared for.
We provide fresh, nourishing meals inspired by the abundance of Costa Rica. Wherever possible, ingredients are grown on the finca or sourced from nearby producers.
Depending on the needs of your group, menus can include:
Dietary requirements are discussed in advance so that the menu can support both your participants and the rhythm of your program.
Your retreat package can be shaped around your group and may include:
Some services are included in the venue package, while others can be arranged as optional additions. After learning more about your retreat, we will provide a clear proposal showing what is included and any additional costs.
Ancient Soul Retreats welcomes experienced facilitators, teachers, coaches, therapists and conscious organisations whose work respects both participants and the land. The retreat venue is particularly suited to programs that value:
You do not need to follow a particular spiritual tradition or retreat format. What matters is that your work is responsible, sincere and compatible with the intimate nature of the venue.
We understand that your retreat carries your name, your relationships and your reputation.
Our role is not to impose a standard program. It is to provide the environment, nourishment and practical support in which your own work can be delivered with care.
You remain responsible for:
We collaborate with you on the venue experience, accommodation, meals, practical planning and local logistics.
This clear division of responsibilities allows you to retain creative ownership while knowing that you are not managing every practical detail alone.
Choosing a venue is one of the most important decisions you will make as a retreat host.
Your participants may book international flights, take time away from work and place considerable trust in both you and the experience you are creating. You need more than beautiful photographs. You need clear communication, realistic planning and a venue that understands what is at stake.
Ancient Soul Retreats combines an intimate scale, private natural surroundings and personal collaboration. Our aim is to make the planning process clear and manageable from the first conversation through to your group’s departure.
You can begin without having every detail decided. Tell us:
We will help you determine whether Ancient Soul Retreats is the right home for your retreat.
Ancient Soul Retreats is opening in may 2027, and we are now speaking with a limited number of aligned facilitators planning retreats from that period onward.
As a founding retreat host, you receive particularly personal planning support and the opportunity to build a direct relationship with us while the retreat calendar is still taking shape.
The physical development of the venue is underway. We will only offer and confirm retreat dates that we are confident we can deliver responsibly. Current progress information, recent images and visit possibilities are available to serious prospective hosts.
If your retreat values intimacy, nature, conscious living and meaningful transformation, we would love to hear what you are creating.
