Why The Retreat

A Property That
Sells Itself

The Retreat Costa Rica is one of Central America's most decorated luxury wellness destinations — and one of the few boutique hotels in the region to appear repeatedly in Condé Nast Traveler's Readers' Choice Awards. Guests arrive seeking transformation and leave as loyal advocates.

For travel professionals, this is the kind of property that earns referrals. A boutique of 25 rooms, award-winning Vida Mía Spa, three distinct restaurants, curated wellness programs, and an extraordinary natural setting just 35 minutes from SJO. Easy to recommend, impossible to forget.
