Your wellbeing comes first

Our retreats are in a remote, quiet part of the Nicoya Peninsula. That remoteness is what makes them restful, and we know it can also raise questions. This page tells you plainly what to expect, so you can arrive relaxed.

Who is here

We host one or two guests at a time, so you’re never one of a crowd. The hosts/staff live on the property and are available during from 7:00am – 7:00pm. You’ll have a direct WhatsApp/Phone number from the moment you book.

Your tiny home

• Bed and bedding: Double bed, with fresh linen and extra blankets for cool mornings.
• Bathroom: Private, with hot water, shower and toilet.
• Kitchenette: Fridge, kettle, coffee maker, hot plate, tea & coffee.
• Climate: Air conditioning
• Outdoor space: Outdoor seating and garden view
• Provided for you: towels, toiletries, yoga mat, and any extras.
• Locks and privacy: Key lock. We only enter your tiny home at times we’ve agreed with you.

Water and food safety

• Drinking water: Tap water is safe to drink at the retreat. We provide bottled water in your tiny home and refill it daily.
• Meals: Our food is organic freshly prepared with local ingredients. Please tell us about allergies and dietary needs when you book, and we’ll plan around them.

Power, Wi-Fi, and signal

• Power: Costa Rica uses two-pin US-style plugs at 120V, so bring an adapter if you need one.
• Wi-Fi: Available between the hours of 6:30am – 9:30-pm, because we encourage a digital detox.
• Phone signal: Signal can be patchy at times.
• If you need to stay reachable: tell us when you book, and we’ll help you plan around it. Let family or colleagues know in advance if you’ll have limited contact.

Medical access and emergencies

• First aid: We keep a stocked first-aid kit on site. 
• Nearest clinic: EBIAS Nandayure, in [town], about 10km and 20-min drive away.
• Nearest hospital: Hospital La Anexion, in Nicoya, about 24km and 45-min drive away.
• In an emergency: We’ll call local emergency number: 911 in Costa Rica and help arrange transport. Please also share your own emergency contact with us before you arrive.
• Insurance: We strongly recommend travel insurance covering medical care and emergency evacuation.

Wildlife, insects, and the outdoors

The mountains are alive. Depending on the season, you may see birds, monkeys, butterflies, or other wildlife you rarely see, and you’ll also meet insects. Wear closed shoes on the grounds after dark, and shake out your shoes in the morning.

Weather and terrain

• Weather: Dry season is from December to April notes and green season is from May to November. Nights can be cooler during green season and afternoons warm and humid, so pack light layers.
• Terrain: the property has gravel paths and slopes and is not suitable for wheelchair users.

Getting here safely

We recommend travelling in daylight and arranging a private transfer if you’re unfamiliar with mountain roads. Our Getting Here page explains your options.

A note on solo guests

Many of our guests travel alone, and we’ve designed the experience with that in mind. You have a private tiny home, a host you can reach any time, and the option of a transfer arranged for you.
