Details of this retreat
Hi, this is Fern and Maxim :-) We are happy that you are interested in our couples retreat! Let us tell you more about it:
First things first: our retreats are custom, which means we adjust the time and programming as a customized experience for you based on your intentions and desires. Please send us a message to inquire about dates and availability. We always only have one couple here at a time.
This is not just another retreat from some retreat company (!). This is much more personal, like meetings with friends and having a great time together.
We love what we do and we love to show our guests our own world and lifestyle here in Costa Rica. Based on many of our previous retreats and the feedback from our guests, what many of them loved most was the time spent with us together and the moments when we invited them into our lives here and showed them our routines and favorite restaurants and introduced them to friends and maybe invited them to some events. All this is optional and free of choice, based on your preferences and flow during your retreat. (We really had a lot of fun like that with many of our guests and ended the retreat feeling like we know each other and we have been friends already for a long time.)
That said, we love to get on a call with you and connect and get to know you a little ahead of the booking and retreat.
This is a private, exclusive experience for yourself and your relationship, to elevate the level of your love and get intimate into a deeper connection, where every moment is curated to ignite passion, rejuvenate your spirits, and rediscover the pure essence of connection.
Our love and intimacy retreat is designed for couples seeking a romantic getaway to deepen or reignite passion and ignite the flame again. In this special time, you’ll discover a nurturing space to deepen your connection.
Our desire for you and your beloved is to deepen your intimacy, rise in love and get to know yourself and each other anew, so you spark up the fire of your love stronger than before.
Are you looking for something special and meaningful to do with your partner?
Are you looking for a stronger connection, greater pleasure far away from distractions and the fast pace of life? Are you looking for a commitment to slowing down and sharing a nourishing, intimate time where you can celebrate the joy of the body and open freely and fully to your partner, sharing yourself to give and receive love and intimacy?
We’ll provide the tools and practical applications for everyday life, for a deeper connection with yourself, your emotions, and your sensual connection.
Nestled in a romantic boutique Bali-style bungalow in the lush jungle in the Caribbean Coast of Costa Rica, this exclusive journey is more than a retreat; it's an adventure and incubator for your relationship.
Get ready to fall in love like the first time, while you enjoy your digital detox from technology and from the outside world. It is an exclusive experience for yourself and your relationship to elevate the level of your love and get intimate into a deeper connection than ever before.
Each retreat is personalized for couples on this private, intimate retreat with us. Your whole itinerary is based on our planning call.
We can send you a sample itinerary with ideas and activities to explore.
Days and times of Retreats and sessions are flexible. We have pre-planning call, check-in calls, and follow-up calls after the retreat, all included with your retreat.
We can organize a retreat for you at a time and duration that is convenient for you, from 5 days to 30 days (or longer)!
When you message us, ideally specify your dates and time frame, and we will send you a custom offer through BookRetreats.
On our discovery call, we can arrange a retreat program with your intentions and desires.
Payments in full upon booking will receive a complimentary couples massage included. We also accept payment plans (selectable during the checkout, if the retreat is more than 60 days in the future). Read More
