The Details:

• Travel to Nicaragua via Managua or Liberia, Costa Rica is not included in the price of the retreat. There are direct flights with Westjet from Calgary and Toronto to Liberia, and Air Alaska and Aeromexico are other options to get there. From there you take a 2-3 hour shuttle to Costa Dulce. If entering from Liberia you have a border crossing to get to Costa Dulce, located in southern Nicaragua on the Pacific coast.

• Accommodation in single or shared rooms, most have private bathrooms and hammocks on the balconies, with views of the ocean and jungle. Please note the retreat pricing is based on shared accommodation, and a small surcharge will apply to single rooms, to be confirmed at the time of booking based on the accommodation selected.

• Includes three delicious farm-to-table meals with fresh fish and vegetarian options, as well as early morning coffee, granola and fresh fruit salad.

• The beautiful beach is a private beach shared by two eco-resorts and residents of the gated community, that rarely has more than 20-30 people on it. It consistently has waves suitable for body surfing, boogie boarding, or surfing. There are also two swimming pools.

• Activities include yoga twice a day, a Temazcal and cacao ceremony, a hike to a waterfall in the jungle, a visit to the turtle nursery and talk by Tim the Turtle Man, and an optional visit to the nearby surfing town of San Juan del Sur.

Kindly note that this eco-resort is fairly isolated, and located on a small hill, with steps between the lobby, dining room and different casitas, and steps to go down to the beach. Guests need to be in good health, and this experience is not suitable for the mobility-impaired.
