Fall back into your soul, stepping forward into loving energies and memories, defining your new you.
…Meditating in a blissful environment and already feeling
gratitude.
You’ll become quiet here, in touch with your true self, feeling
how you want to feel, and gently sensitive to who you are and
what you want to do.
Softly, the clarity shines through, revealing your soul’s purity, appreciating and shaping your identity.
The Costa Rican beaches, surfing, waterfalls, sound baths and spiritual ceremonies along with amazing daily yoga and meditation will guide you to this new version of yourself.
From the moment you arrive in San Jose, to the moment you leave, every detail has been carefully planned so you can arrive, turn off your brain and be present for this extraordinary experience.
Rustic island accommodations, the finest vegetarian food, your airport transfers and all of your meditations, adventurous experiences and tours are included.

Our venue...
A passion for yoga, travel and service guided the creation of Cabuya Lodge located in Costa Rica. Connection, community, design and simplicity are the basis of what we do. Cabuya Lodge features unique, custom-built cabins that are bright, cozy and clean. Enjoy your home away from home in rustic elegance. We offer options with and without air conditioning and kitchens. The property features several cabins with single, double and triple occupancy options. Each cabin also has a small fridge, dining table and coffee maker. The bathroom has an open-air shower with hot water, toilet and sink. This year, the group will be in cabins with a/c (all of them!)
Cabuya Lodge is located in the fishing village of Cabuya (de Cobano) on the southern tip of the Nicoya Peninsula in the province of Puntarenas in Costa Rica. We are only minutes away from Cabo Blanco Absolute Natural Reserve, about 20 minutes from Mal Pais and Santa Teresa and 10 minutes from Montezuma.
Guests will fly into San Jose and this year we are taking a shuttle to the ferry to ensure we all arrive at Cabuya together. We will fly home together on a local flight.

Please note that we have added one extra day in 2025 to spend more time communing with nature and getting more involved in the local Costa Rican culture. We were able to add a day AND lower the price! We hope that you can join us for the first time or again.
