Join us in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica, for a 5-night immersive retreat where movement, nature, and connection come together effortlessly.
Curated in partnership with Haus of Wellness, a Laguna Beach–based Pilates studio, this experience is rooted in an intentional approach to movement and holistic wellbeing — creating balance in both the body and everyday life.
Set between jungle and ocean, Santa Teresa carries a unique energy — raw, vibrant, and deeply grounding. It’s a place where you instantly feel better, in body and mind. Something that can’t quite be explained, only experienced.
Life flows at the rhythm of nature, where nothing is rushed. This is the essence of pura vida — a way of living that invites you to slow down, be present, and simply enjoy.
Days begin with morning ocean walks, followed by Pilates and movement sessions designed to awaken the body gently. Long, nourishing breakfasts are shared together, before the day opens up — offering time to explore, rest, or simply be.
Optional afternoon sessions, along with occasional workshops, are woven into the rhythm of the week, allowing space to deepen the experience without ever feeling structured or overwhelming.
As the light softens, sunset becomes a moment to pause — something you won’t want to miss. Here, time seems to slow down as everyone gathers to watch the sun go down, a simple ritual that naturally becomes part of the experience.
From there, evenings unfold together — dinners shared, conversations flowing, and a natural sense of warmth and ease.
Thoughtfully curated details, from the food to the flow of each day, are designed to create a seamless and elevated experience, while remaining grounded and effortless.
More than a retreat, it’s an invitation to step into a different way of living — lighter, more present, and in tune with what matters.
At Benesta, we design unique and transformative journeys that nurture the body, mind, and soul. Guided by passion and rooted in wellness, lifestyle, and kindness, our mission is to create meaningful moments that embrace the pace of renewal, helping you reconnect with what truly matters.
