CASA PAPAYA nestles in the hills only 10 minutes walk from the Pacific ocean in Playa Negra, Guanacaste , Northern Costa Rica. A perfect place to reconnect with your inner self , to refresh, re-energise and be at one with nature.

The retreat is based at Casa Papaya, a modern hacienda and Casa del Bosque , a traditional wooden Tico house set in the forest. They are surrounded by 5 acres of Costa Rica jungle and forest .Watch howler monkeys swing by and the iguanas bask in the sun by as you relax in your hammock on the balcony .

The Pacific beaches are only a stroll away through the forest and are a perfect place for quiet meditation as you contemplate the specatacular sunsets .

Pick papaya, mango and bananas from the nearby trees.

The accommodation is in 2 houses and if we have additional sign ups, there are beautiful little houses in the woods available if we overflow.

CASA PAPAYA , a modern hacienda with all rooms ensuite with hot showers. There are single , twin , double and triple rooms.

The yoga studio is open to the garden and nature on 2 sides , which allows the natural breezes and sounds of nature to join in with your yoga practice. It can accommodate 30 + students and is fully-equipped with mats, blocks, belts, cushions and blankets and also has overhead fans .

I have a file folder filled with information on this and will keep you all updated.
