The Couples Retreat at Cabuya Lodge is a transformative 7-day, 6-night immersive experience designed specifically for partners seeking to deepen their connection, nurture intimacy, and rejuvenate together in the serene, off-the-beaten-path paradise of Cabuya, Costa Rica. Nestled near the stunning beaches and natural wonders close to Montezuma on the Nicoya Peninsula, this retreat blends daily yoga practices, empowering workshops focused on relationships, adventure excursions, relaxation, and nourishing meals in a supportive group setting.
The program begins on Sunday with a relaxed 4pm arrival and check-in at the restaurant reception area, followed by time to explore the grounds, unpack, and settle into your cozy accommodations. At 6:00pm, join a welcoming check-in and group opening ceremony to introduce everyone, setting an intentional tone for the week, then enjoy a 6:30pm dinner.
Throughout the week, meals emphasize wholesome, nourishing cuisine, with early coffee and structured yet balanced days that alternate movement, deep relational work, adventure, and rest—leaving space for personal connection amid Costa Rica’s lush jungles, beaches, wildlife, and “Pura Vida” spirit.
Deep focus on couples' intimacy and growth — Tailored workshops like “Relationship Foundations,” “Couples Partner Massage,” “House of Love,” “Fun Funny Together,” and breath/connection practices prioritize partnership dynamics, emotional breakthroughs, and playful bonding rarely emphasized in general yoga retreats.
Balanced blend of structure and freedom — Structured mornings with yoga and workshops give way to excursions and flexible afternoons/evenings, including a full free day on Friday for personalized choices (spa, acupuncture, extra adventures).
Unique local adventures — Exclusive access to sacred sites like Cemetery Island (Isla Cabuya), Montezuma waterfall hikes, tide pools, and nearby beaches in a less-touristy, remote area of Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula, surrounded by wildlife, jungle, and ocean.
Holistic and varied movement — Incorporates not just standard yoga but unique elements like Spiritual breath empowerment, and Yoga Nidra, plus partner massage workshops for physical and energetic connection.
Intimate, off-the-grid vibe — Hosted at Cabuya Lodge, a family-friendly yoga-focused eco-lodge in quiet Cabuya (near Montezuma), it offers rustic yet comfortable cabins, a nurturing “Pura Vida” atmosphere, and genuine immersion in Costa Rica’s untouched natural beauty—ideal for couples wanting meaningful reconnection away from crowds.
Our itinerary includes couples workshops, massages, and excursions designed to rekindle the love, passion, and connection between you and your partner.
We encourage participation in all activities, but it's not mandatory.

Cabuya Lodge is nestled in the tranquil, off-the-beaten-path fishing village of Cabuya, located on the southern tip of Costa Rica's stunning Nicoya Peninsula in Puntarenas Province. This remote coastal gem sits just 7 km (about a 20-minute drive) south of the lively beach town of Montezuma, and a short distance from the popular surf spots of Mal Pais and Santa Teresa—yet it remains a quieter, more authentic alternative, preserving the laid-back essence of traditional Costa Rican life before widespread tourism.
Surrounded by lush tropical nature, wildlife is in abundance on our property! Awake to the sound of Scarlet Macaws or Howler Monkeys in the trees above your cabina. Take a dip in our multi-level swimming pool, while the tranquil sounds of the waterfall relax your mind. The lodge is only a few kilometers from Cabo Blanco Absolute Natural Reserve—Costa Rica's very first protected nature reserve—offering rich biodiversity, hiking trails, abundant wildlife (including birds, monkeys, and more), and pristine forests meeting the Pacific Ocean. A short walk brings you to the pebbly beach of Cabuya, where at low tide you can stroll across a natural reef causeway to Isla de Cabuya (Cemetery Island), a sacred pre-Columbian burial site with excellent snorkeling in turquoise waters.
The area boasts calm swimming spots, nearby rivers and lagoons (like the Rio Lajas estuary), and unique local landmarks such as the massive Higuerón de Cabuya (one of Costa Rica's largest strangler fig trees). Ideal for wellness seekers, nature lovers, and those craving a peaceful escape, Cabuya Lodge captures the true "pura vida" spirit in one of the peninsula's most serene and untouched corners.
