NOSARA, costa rica

Start 2021 with a life-changing 7 day adventure in breath-taking Nosara in the Guanacaste region of the lush and wildly beautiful Costa Rica. The trip is set to be a heart-racing, unforgettable adventure with a focus on physical and mental wellbeing and learning new skills to take home with you. From touch down get off the beaten track and immerse yourself in the culture of “Pura Vida” and find out why the region is one of only 7 “blue zones” (where people are happiest and healthiest) in the world.

Surf the 25c warm waves in bikinis and seriously take your surfing to the next level, adventuring in one of our great planet’s countries with the richest flora and fauna life in the world.

The retreat will be a week’s surfing with expert tuition, invigorating and restorative yoga sessions atop the jungle canopy, horseback riding at sunset on the beach, climbing, nature hikes, exploring the verdant and unparalleled native flora and fauna and getting up close and personal with some of Costa Rica’s infamous locals including the white-faced monkey.

The onsite chefs will prepare locally-sourced nutritious meals at the stunning villa perching over the jungle.

The Mad To Live Retreats Villa is privately perched atop the jungle, a beautiful Costa Rican “tipico” Rancho. The facilities were designed using the finest native woods of the Guanacaste region which creates true “Rustico Fino” design”. The Surfers Rancho as we call it, connects to the pool where you may want to use the WiFi , or take in the breath-taking panoramic jungle mountain views. Chances are good you will be waking up to the sound of howler monkeys playing in the trees outside your cabina or hear the unique sounds of the chachalaca.

You will be rooming with a fellow retreater unless private is requested at extra cost.

All cabinas contain air conditioning, private bathrooms, towels, linens, and the usual common howler monkey sightings!

FOOD

Indulge in delicious, nutritious food. Using only the best and freshest local produce, our talented local chef makes each meal a taste sensation. With a focus on organic locally grown produce, taste the best of Costa Rica over the course of the week.
