VENUE AND ACCOMMODATIONS
Imagine yourself waking to the sun peaking through the shades of your private jungle oasis. The smell of hibiscus and fresh roasted coffee from a local farm dances in the air. You grab your journal as you snuggle in the hammock just outside the doors of your bedroom. As your eyes scan your surroundings of lush rainforest you can hear a faint crash of waves in the distance. You note in your journal how good it feels to slow down, to experience this connection to your true self and take in these amazing new adventures.

Each suite has a private bathroom, AC, mini fridge, large closet, and patio with chairs and a hammock, TV's are available but we encourage unplugging during our retreats.
