The Retreat SpacE

Sonora Jungle & Yoga Center

Sonora Jungle and Yoga Retreat Center is a 4 hour drive from the San Jose airport through the mountainous cloud forest of Costa Rica. You arrive to the gorgeous, turquoise Caribbean Coast, where this boutique hotel is tucked away in nature. Surrounded by a spectacular black sand beach, ancient trees, colorful flowers, and the sound of animals, it is truly the perfect setting for a peaceful yoga getaway. There are 16 bungalows all with private bathrooms and veranda. A swimming pool with private coves to read/lounge, a dining area, and a luxury yoga shala with props are also on the property. 

The modern architecture of Sonora was specially created by Italian designers and it shows. Every corner of the venue is lined with delicate touches and elegant decorations. The use of fine linen and cotton fabrics and warm touches of Caribbean wood make you feel so welcome and comfortable. The attention to detail is combined with the organic foods from the area. Sonora works with local eco-sustainable companies and farms to serve tasty and healthy dishes with ingredients that complement the amazing ​​hospitality of the team.

The FOOD

2-3 MEALS A DAY INCLUDED

COFFEE, TEA, & FRESH JUICE WILL BE AVAILABLE THROUGHOUT THE DAY

From the dawn of time, the kitchen table has been the heart of gatherings, where stories are shared. If the body was a house, the kitchen table would be an extension of your feelings, it's the space for conversation, your speech, and the key to your heart. Eating is feeling, and we want you to feel your most radiant self. That's why all our food is locally sourced, ensuring freshness and flavor that's second to none. Breakfast, where unlimited coffees and teas await every morning, accompanied by fresh papayas picked from the garden, juicy mangos, and hydrating coconut water straight from the source. Fresh fish expertly prepared by our onsite chef, paired with crisp local salads drizzled with a tangy passion fruit dressing.

 

Try local Costa Rican staples like Caribbean chicken and Coconut milk rice and beans—each dish infused with the vibrant spices and flavors beloved by the Caribbean coast. 

 

The food is not just sustenance—it's a celebration of community and connection.

*All meals included aside from 2 lunches offsite

GF/Veg/Vegan options are available on request.
