Join us for an unforgettable retreat hosted by Bend Studio at the breathtaking House of Shakti, in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica. Surrounded by lush tropical landscapes on the Pacific Coast, this retreat offers a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure.

Nestled in the lush jungle, near the surf village of Santa Teresa, House of Shakti offers the perfect blend of modern luxury and jungle tranquility.
The property has sacred geometry designed Villas, an enchanting poolscape, sauna, and comfortable community spaces, giving it an elegant modern and cozy touch to the jungle oasis. A stunning yoga shala is perched at the top overlooking the landscape.
This land sustains a private retreat center, surrounded by guanacaste, pochote and papaya trees, banana plants, hibiscus, jasmine flowers, and friendly monkeys swinging from the trees.
All rooms have a private entrance. All rooms can be shared (two people with two singles or a king bed). Two master suites have a private bathroom.
