Yes! A health retreat at Anamaya is for everyone. This retreat will give you the opportunity to distance yourself from your daily stressors, find balance in your life, boost your immunity, and experience something truly transformational.

You don’t need to practice yoga or go surfing if that’s of no interest to you – instead you can relax in a hammock, get a spa treatment (or two), and enjoy a good book or spend some time journaling. 

If you would like to try yoga or take your practice to the next level, this retreat is also for you! Throughout the week we offer 10 yoga classes overlooking a stunning ocean coastline. Classes are for beginners to advanced practitioners.

Absolutely! Many of our guests travel solo. Costa Rica is a safe country and we find that our guests who come to Anamaya on their own have the most life-changing experiences. They have the time to do more self-reflection, they have the opportunity to make new friends and connect with like-minded people from around the world, and they have the space to focus on their intention for the week (like getting more exercise, losing weight, making some big life decisions, etc).

The rates listed on this page include your accommodations, three gourmet organic meals per day, a morning and afternoon snack, tea & coffee, WiFi (but remember we’re in the jungle so our internet can sometimes promote a digital detox), and the use of numerous common areas around the resort. Yoga, excursions, workshops, arrival and departure transportation to and from the hotel, spa services and other “extras” are not included.

Yes, we do serve organic wine and local beer. You can order drinks from our receptionists and they cost will be added to your bill.

Yes, we serve fish and chicken for those who want to eat meat. We also cater to vegetarians and vegans. We do not serve beef or pork, and we are also a gluten and dairy free resort. Anamaya is FAMOUS for its food! People have been raving about the meals for so long that we created our own online cookbook membership.

Imagine this…

The sun peeks over the ocean creating an epic sunrise, filling the sky with color and you hear the monkeys waking up to greet the sun.

The birds start to sing and as you make your way to the main house, you greet the other guests, treat yourself to some fresh tropical fruit and homemade granola. The first yoga practice of the day starts on the yoga deck overlooking the ocean. You wake up your body and release all thoughts of stress and worry.

After the yoga class is finished you join your friends in the main house for a healthy and delicious buffet breakfast, where you chat about your experiences, get to know one another, and enjoy the community atmosphere.

You then take time to hike Anamaya’s private path to the famous Montezuma waterfalls, and reflect on your journey that brought you to Costa Rica, and contemplate your path as you discover more about yourself each day.

After you return from your hike to sink into the infinity pool that overlooks 270 degrees of ocean coastline. This view never gets dull.

As the sun moves into the afternoon, you join everyone in the main house for a beautifully plated lunch made with a lot of  love from Chef Jeff and his team. You chat, laugh and share stories with the other guests.

Then you head to a special workshop the guest yoga teacher has offered, and you immerse yourself into some self-development that is physically, mentally or spiritually stimulating.

After your workshop you may enjoy a massage at the Anamaya spa…or walk down to the beach to go for a swim in the ocean…or find a hammock to enjoy your book or have a nap while you listen to the birds.

The second yoga practice of the day starts when the sun is setting, and by the time the class is over the sun is down and a million stars light up the sky.

You head to your room to change into some light summer clothes and join the rest of the group back in the main house for a 3-course organic dinner. The last few hours are spent enjoying the company of your friends, and then you retire to your room feeling relaxed and peaceful.

This could be you.

“Anamaya exceeded all expectations. Food, staff, accommodations was beyond amazing. The overall experience was 10/10. Our yoga instructor for the week was inspiring, motivating, engaging, and just created a presence that made the week so special. Will definitely be going back!!!”

This could be your reality for 7 days in Costa Rica at Anamaya Resort.

Anamaya is located in Montezuma, Costa Rica and there are several ways to get to the resort. Depending on what international airport you are flying into, or if you are already in Costa Rica, there are a number of options. Our reservations department can assist you in your travel plans. Please fill out a Reservation Request Form HERE and our Reservations Department will contact you directly. There is no pressure to book, but this will allow you to speak directly with our team to get all your questions answered before making a decision on if this retreat is right for you.

The closest beach is in Montezuma, which is a 5 minute drive or a beautiful 20 minute walk. You can also walk to Playa Las Manchas, which is a stunning and very special spot, and approx 7 minutes by car or 30 minutes by foot. Playa los cedros, the famous Montezuma/Cabuya surf spot, is 9 minutes by car. The beaches of Santa Teresa / Malpais are approximately 45 minutes by car.

The temperature ranges from a very minimum of 65 degrees to the nineties. It’s very nice weather, but it can be humid, especially down by the beach. Anamaya is 400 feet up on a cliff so it’s drier and we have a nice breeze all year…. much more comfortable than on the beach.

September and October are the rainiest months, on average,

Generally speaking, even in the rainy season (May-Nov) it’s generally very nice during the day. There are beautiful puffy white clouds and sunshine on and off, the jungle is at its lushest, the flowers are blooming, the birds are singing, and the waterfalls are full. A few times a year, large storms come in and it can rain all day for a few days… usually these “temporals” last 2-3 days and then it’s clear again… but this can happen anywhere.
