The Venue…
Tantalize your senses and transform into your best self in one of Earth’s most restorative destinations… the beautiful and lush Costa Rica. The air is cleaner and fresher, the sun is brighter, the energy is more vibrant. It’s the ideal place to activate your greatest potential and honor your deepest purpose.
You’ll join us at a property that has been experiencing it’s own transformation… from hotel to retreat center:
Con Smania CR. Each structure is unique and positively invites exploration through the winding paths and gorgeous landscaping.
Bordered by our own landing strip – often visited by a herd of free-ranging horses – and very few neighbors, this safe and sacred space is also just a 10 minute stroll to the Pacific Ocean.
Guanacaste trees shade the property and provide home to a variety of wildlife, including the howlers, parrots, iguanas and so much more.
You can never be bored here… and you can also deeply rest and nest.
From hidden meditation spots to the grand and magnificent main building we call Haven, there is so much to explore on the property. And then take some side trips into the nearby towns of Nosara and Samara for even more fun. Kayak to an off-shore reserve, ride a horse along the beach, or just lounge at our unique and fun pool for the rest you deserve.





The Food and Meals…
Inspired by the ingredients that make this one of the world’s five Blue Zones, our Costa Rican cooks create vegetarian-focused meals that burst with flavor and texture. Gluten-free always, dairy free mostly, and all allergies taken into consideration.
You’ll be experiencing our detox protocol and raw food choices with some special meals to welcome you and close the week together. We believe in honoring the land through connecting closer to source in all ways. Buffet style, we encourage you to take what you need knowing you can always return for more.
Breakfasts in our front restaurant and dinners may be served in the main building, our poolside lounge, or up at the restaurant. Let us surprise you!
Anytime you need more nourishment, blend yourself a smoothie from local fruits and greens and nutritious add-ins.
Want to Explore More?
Join us at the Samara Feria (farmer’s market) on Saturday and shop like a local. From artisans to local fare, it is a sight to behold.
