January 23-29, 2027 Uvita, Costa Rica
Women’s Wellness Retreat | Costa Rica
In the heart of the jungle, where the air is warm and alive, you are invited into a different rhythm, a vibrant energy that awakens your senses and invites you deeper into presence.
Your home for 6 nights, 7 days is the beautiful Vista Celestial, a space where nature and comfort meet. The expansive ocean views, vibrant green canopy, and open sky create the backdrop for your return to self.
Mornings begin gently with movement and breath on a jungle platform with the sounds of life all around you or perhaps an ocean view of endless skyline and imagination.
Days unfold with intention and ease with moments of reflection, quiet, and integration. There is space here for both stillness and exploration. Expect to turn inward through meditation and self-study, and outward through adventure, beauty, and wonder.
Presence brings Clarity
-clarity creates space for what truly matters
-clarity softens the noise so you can hear yourself more fully
-clarity gently reveals the path that has been waiting for you all along
This experience is an invitation into presence - to explore, connect, and immerse yourself in each moment, while deepening your connection to yourself, others, and the richness of your surroundings.
What are our Women's Wellness Retreats all about?
Our retreats are more than traditional travel. This is travel designed not just for exploration, but for transformation. Rooted in connection, each journey offers space to immerse in local culture, attune to the rhythms of nature, and turn inward through self-study and reflection.
We always have adventures on our retreats but rather than rushing from place to place, you are invited to slow down and arrive fully into each moment, each landscape, each experience. Through mindful presence, shared experiences, and intentional practices, travel becomes a mirror for self-discovery.
It is a return to curiosity, to aliveness, and to the freedom that comes from being deeply present. Whether through meaningful cultural exchange, time in nature, or quiet moments of introspection, each experience is designed to support both outer exploration and inner awareness.
Our holistic wellness retreats are designed to nourish your mind, body, and spirit. Our goal is for you to leave with a sense of clarity, inner balance, and a deeper connection to what truly matters.

Vista Celestial Boutique Hotel
Named for its panoramic, heavenly views of the Pacific Ocean and rainforest jungle, Vista Celestial welcomes you to your home in paradise.
Pristine pools, meditation terraces, lush gardens, private waterfall trails and more await your use and enjoyment on the extensive and private grounds. Whether you seek on-site relaxation, local exploration, or off-grounds adventure with our curated selection of experiences, let Vista Celestial support your wellness journey.
Resort-exclusive pools, fruit gardens, and waterfall hiking trails are just the beginning. Immerse yourself in the sights, sounds, and tastes of the rainforest.
Enjoy Vista Celestial’s 50 acres (20 hectares) of private rainforest reserve. The property contains primary rainforest, as well as mature secondary rainforest re-wilded from land that was previously used for agriculture.
Working with our neighbors, we have protected and restored hundreds of acres of rainforest. This has resulted in the return to the property of many species including spider monkeys, wild pigs, and tepezcuintles.
We look forward to welcoming you to this natural paradise that we have fallen in love with.
Whale Watching
See the place where both Northern and Southern Humpback whales come to rear their calves. Enjoy an ocean journey to Corcovado National Park with sightings of the majestic Humpback whales.
Small Town Beach Day
The Pacific coast of Costa Rica near Uvita offers a stretch of coastline filled with secluded beaches, lush jungle landscapes, and charming small towns waiting to be explored. The famous Whale’s Tail beach in Costa Rica is a unique natural sandbar located in Marino Ballena National Park, where the shoreline forms the shape of a whale’s tail at low tide. This stunning formation is best viewed from above or walked along when the tide recedes, offering a rare opportunity to stand on a naturally occurring symbol of the region’s rich marine life.
Waterfall Hike
Waterfall hikes through the jungle offer an opportunity for grounding, movement, and connection with nature. Uvita Waterfall, locally called “Catarata Uvita”, is a beautiful waterfall located in the lush backdrop of Uvita, away from the busy street and the beaches. It is surrounded by dense greenery and rocky terrain, making it a great spot to relax with a book or to have a picnic.
*All activities/excursions are optional
