In a lush, 100-acre sanctuary of regenerated forest, rivers, wildlife, and wonder—where every trail leads to discovery, you will find the enchanting Verdesana. In this Fairytale forest, there are 16 gorgeously appointed rooms in 12 cabins dotted along the hillside with en suite baths. These cabins are hand-crafted from regenerated Cyprus forests directly from the Verdesana property. Comfortably sleeping unto 21 guests total with many guests in private cabins, comfortable queen-sized beds with 850 thread count sheets, outdoor decks with prime views to gardens, forests and mountains at 5,000 ft in elevation.

This closed campus boasts 100 acres of regenerated forest, a combination of native species and pine forest, trails and paths around the property, wood fired hot pools, a river with private access, 2 small bridges through the forest, a bonfire spot by the river, a sacred labyrinth - perfect for meditative walks, hummingbird heaven: over 20 different species of hummingbirds, possibilities of spotting wildlife, such as coatis, agoutis, deer, wild pigs, kinkajous and more, and access to miles of hiking paths outside the property (guided tours only) through forest an mountain landscapes, including 2 different waterfalls.

Although we love the jungle and the beaches of Costa Rica, the quiet stillness and harmony of the woods and deep forest offer a different vibration - one that can help heal and reset our nervous system in a different way, one that can rejuvenate and restore our energetic body and one that can connect and ground us back to the earth. As we immerse ourselves in the calmness and embrace of the forest, we can begin to hear the whisper of our true self ready to resurface out of the chaos and loudness of the world we currently live in.

Surrender to Costa Rica and let her hold you - if just for a moment

We will partake in sacred ceremonies and breathtaking excursions while enjoying togetherness at meals and the ample free time.  A few of the experiences and excursions intended for this retreat is daily yoga - some ending in a sounbath savasana, herbalism experience, hot pools and cold river plunges on the property, cacao, waterfall hikes and forest bathing, a hiking, picnic & waterfall experience, a coffee experience and potentially a few more surprise experiences & excursions.

Plant Based Cuisine

World-Renowned Imiloa kitchen led by plant-based cuisine enthusiasts.

At Verdesana by Imiloa, we like to call our food “conscious comfort food.” That means we serve healthy, locally sourced, gourmet vegan meals that are as artistically plated, scientifically nourishing and delightfully crafted for all of our retreat guests.

We believe in creating possibility. Our gut is the second “largest brain” and by nurturing it we believe we can help catalyze the transformation of the mind, body and soul. For the time you're at Verdesana by Imiloa, you'll discover what's possible with food and nourishment. Thousands of guests have reported higher states of awareness, curiosity, creativity and completeness.

The Science of Complete Proteins

Imiloa’s Cuisine treats food as both art and science. Every plate is designed with balance in mind. Textures, colors, flavors, and the 22 amino acids that your body needs to thrive.  Animal product consumers generally get all 22 amino acids from a single source, but plant-based eaters need thoughtful combinations of foods to cover the same spectrum.  Imiloa’s Cuisine brings together grains, legumes, seeds, and vegetables with the care of fine dining, crafting elegant combinations that naturally deliver the complete protein your body needs. Most plant-based kitchens fall short because they don’t combine foods in a way that creates complete proteins. People feel starved or under-resourced.  The Imiloa Way is different. Chef teams are scientists and artists at once, intentionally blending taste and texture with the nutritional precision of amino acids. This is nutrition meeting art and regenerative leadership on a plate. By choosing plant-based, consciously sourced ingredients, we honor both human vitality and the earth that sustains us. Every meal at Imiloa is simple yet profound. Read the views online. Imagine that with each bite, you experience comfort, beauty, and the quiet confidence that comes from food crafted to support life at its fullest.

At Imiloa, no request is too small or too complex. Whether it’s paleo, keto, gluten-free, allergen-free, or even fitness-specific menus requiring 100 grams of protein per meal, every plate can be designed to meet the exact needs of our guests. Our chefs are trained to adjust textures, flavors, and ingredients without compromising on presentation or nourishment. From nut-free desserts to soy-free sauces to protein-enhanced entrees, customization is built into the DNA of our kitchen.
This level of adaptability is not just about food, it’s about philosophy. The Imiloa Way is to hold each guest in a space of safety and care, where their nervous system can settle and they can fully relax into the experience. When preferences and restrictions are honored with elegance, guests feel seen. That sense of being deeply taken care of is the true beginning of transformation at the table.
