About Lian House
Lian House
Mission & Vision
We exist to offer an experience that is the complete opposite of mass retreats—one built on privacy, individualization, and full control over the process.
Unlike most retreat centers, we do not organize group ceremonies or standardized programs. We create fully personalized, private experiences for 1 to 4 participants. Each retreat takes place on a private property that is entirely reserved for a single individual or one group of close participants. There are no shared spaces, no outside participants, and no rigid schedules.
This approach allows us to design each experience individually—based on the participant’s goals, needs, and psychological state. Every element of the process—from preparation, through the experience itself, to integration—is tailored rather than imposed.

Getting Here

Directions
How to Get Here
Our private property is located in Mollejones de Platanares, in the canton of Pérez Zeledón (San Isidro de El General), about 15–20 minutes’ drive southeast from the center of San Isidro de El General.
Nearest airports:
Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) in San José – the main international airport in Costa Rica (recommended for most guests).
Pérez Zeledón / San Isidro de El General Regional Airport (IPZ) – small domestic airport with very limited flights.
From San José / SJO Airport (most popular route):
By car (rental or private transfer): approximately 3 to 3.5 hours (130–140 km) south on the Pan-American Highway (Interamericana Hwy 2). The road is mostly good but winding and mountainous (Cerro de la Muerte). We recommend departing in the morning or before dark.
By bus: Direct buses depart from the Tracopa or MUSOC terminal in San José to San Isidro de El General every 1–2 hours (journey takes about 3–3.5 hours, fare approx. $8–14 USD). From San Isidro, take a taxi or private transfer (15–25 minutes) to Mollejones.
Approximate driving times from popular places in Costa Rica:
San José city center / SJO Airport → 3–3.5 hours
Jacó → 2.5–3 hours
Quepos / Manuel Antonio → 2–2.5 hours
Dominical / Uvita (Costa Ballena) → 1–1.5 hours (closest beach area)
La Fortuna / Arenal → 5–6 hours (via San José or longer mountain routes)
Puerto Jiménez (Osa Peninsula) → 2.5–3 hours
Final stretch to the property:
Once you reach San Isidro, head toward Platanares / Mollejones. The last few kilometers are on a quiet paved road with a short gravel section (a car with higher clearance is recommended, but most regular cars manage it without problems). We will send you the exact GPS coordinates and detailed directions after your booking is confirmed.
Private transfer:
If you prefer maximum comfort, we can arrange a private transfer from SJO, San Isidro, or any other location (price depends on distance and number of people). Just let us know when you book.
We are in a peaceful, green area far from crowds – the perfect setting for your private ceremony. We look forward to welcoming you!
