Whether you're here to reset, reconnect, or simply revel in beauty and comfort, our thoughtfully curated amenities invite you to experience transformation in every corner.
Intentional Spaces & Community
Library Reading Room
A serene space designed for quiet reflection, tucked away from the energy of the day. Whether you're journaling, meditating, diving into a good book or enjoying a game of chess, mindful coloring, or a classic board game, this is your moment to unplug and unwind.
Santosha Living Room
The heart of Santosha: a gathering space designed for social flow and luxurious downtime. With elegant design and casual sophistication, it’s where your day begins and effortlessly transitions.
Peacock Pavilion
An extension of our Yoga Terrace, the Peacock Pavilion offers sweeping views over the main house and surrounding mountains. Lined with cozy couches, a fire pit, and quiet nooks for reading or enjoying your morning coffee, it’s a guest favorite—and a peaceful spot where our resident peacocks love to roam.
Movement Spaces
Yoga Shala
A purpose-built sanctuary designed for deep connection and presence. This dark, cozy space is perfect for meditation, sculpt, and sound healing. Its flowing ceiling curtains and intimate atmosphere invite you to soften, settle, and realign.
Yoga Terrace
Our original open-air yoga space, the Yoga Terrace offers a serene setting for private sessions and self-guided practice. Overlooking the main house and closer to the heart of the property than Santosha, it provides a peaceful, elevated space to breathe, stretch, and connect.
Studio Gym
Fitness meets function in our cutting-edge gym outfitted with the latest equipment. Whether you're strength training or stretching it out, it’s wellness designed to energize.

Pools
Main Pool & Jacuzzi
Overlooking the lush hills of Atenas, our main pool and adjoining Jacuzzi offer a refreshing escape. Equipped with plush sunbeds with towels and umbrellas, guests can lounge under the sun or take in the sweeping valley views from the purifying saline waters.
Santosha Pool
A striking centerpiece framed by natural beauty, the Santosha Pool invites relaxation and connection. Unwind poolside with music, cocktails, and that signature Costa Rican warmth.
