“Costa Dulce is hands down the best retreat center I’ve worked with. I co-hosted a two-week yoga teacher training and simultaneously ran two yoga retreats. Not only did everyone leave with that sort of beach-dream bliss, but we all left with a sense that we were part of the Costa Dulce family.” – Diana
Bring Your Group
Costa Dulce retreat center is located remotely at Playa Escameca Grande on the Pacific Ocean.
Surrounded by lush jungle, protected nature reserves, ocean, as well as a freshwater river, abundant amounts of wildlife share this exquisite location. You’ll get the chance to see a variety of insects and bug life that come with the jungle, as well as howler monkeys, geckos, frogs/toads, a vast variety of birds, ocean life, and more. Our remote location makes this eco-retreat centre a desirable location for retreat leaders and guests to visit from all over the world.
While most of our private groups are yoga retreats, we have also hosted surf groups, private groups of friends and family for celebrtions, and even private corporate retreats with young entrepreneurs. We believe the unique beauty of the nature that surrounds us has something to offer everyone, especially those looking for a space to heal and transform.
Facilities available to your group includes three ocean-view shalas, daily fresh farm-to-table cuisine, a jungle spa with several natural beauty treatments, and a broad number of activities to provide your guests with the best possible experience.
Costa Dulce is composed of two retreat centers, both carefully designed to host the perfect beachfront retreat experience. Located on one of the most majestic coastlines the facilities seamlessly blend into the jungle. Private enough to completely relax and find a holistic connection with your group yet close enough to San Juan del Sur that you can experience a busy tourist destination if you want. Let our community of over 40 staff share their loving energy to ensure the success of your retreat.
