      About this trip

      Are you ready to step into the new year as your happiest and healthiest self! Get captivated by the stunning natural beauty of Costa Rica as we dive deep into all things wellness! This retreat is the ultimate experience to help ensure that 2024 is your best year yet.


      We help women step into their power as we give them an opportunity to truly connect with their own truth. This week we will set intentions, challenge old narratives that no longer serve us, learn, grow, evolve, connect and mostly importantly have FUN.


      For 7 days, we will immerse ourselves in a private jungle villa & resort in the Nicoya Peninsula! We hand selected this region to offer a true holistic experience; it is a certified  BLUE ZONE.  There are 5 exclusive blue zones across the world, where people live the longest and are the healthiest – and we are heading to one of them!!  People regularly live to 100+ years so we will have the pleasure of immersing ourselves in this holistic culture. 


      Our gorgeous and spacious venue, located in the Costa Rican jungle, has 3 pools, is surrounded by nature, and offers a gorgeous yoga shala with an ocean view.


      Enjoy 7 restorative days in this enchanting tropical paradise with our extraordinary blend of holistic wellness, rest, sisterhood, fun experiences, and amazing healthy vegetarian food.  

      You will leave this retreat empowered, healthier and stronger in all  areas of your life. This holistic Costa Rica experience truly focuses on the body, mind, and spirit and is curated to help you THRIVE.


      HOW TO GET TO THE VENUE:


      There are several ways to get to Montezuma however, the best way is to fly into San Jose and take a hopper flight: 


      Best option: Fly into San Jose (SJO) airport and take a hop flight to Tambor, followed by a 25 min transfer to Montezuma.


      Second Option: Fly into San Jose (SJO) and take a van/ferry to Aves. Note this option takes around 5 hours of unground travel and price depends on how many people take this option.  


      Please note- After we have received your first payment- we will be booking a 1:1 session to walk you through the options above and find the best mode of transport for you. We will also help you coordinate with fellow tribe members that may be leaving from similar areas so you can travel together.

      My trip to Costa Rica exceeded all of my expectations! This was my first solo international trip and it came with nerves initially - though they quickly went away. It was very clear that a lot of thought and planning went into this experience. Our resort at Aves was absolutely beautiful with scenic views and staff that felt like friends. The food ... chef's kiss :) The adventure was pure fun with ziplining, exploring Montezuma, boot camps, game night, turtle release, and of course lots of laughter. I also found it refreshing to relax and reset each day with things like yoga/meditation, pool time, reading in my porch hammock time with hummingbird visits, and the simplicity of just being outside all the time in the gorgeous jungle. What stands out the most for me are the lifelong friendships I made during this week and how I came home more intuned and motivated with myself. This trip was life-changing and I cannot wait for my next Whole Experience excursion. Thank you Whitney, Tameika, and Hannah for creating this beautiful week for our tribe! ♡ Pura Vida ♡

      This trip to Costa Rica with The Whole Experience was a life changing to say the least. I had some of the best experiences and made a tribe of long lasting friendships. These memories will last a lifetime. I can’t easy enough about all of the unexpected surprises. The baby sea turtles release, the boat ride to Turtuga Island and sound therapy. This and more was all included with the trip. I will definitely go again on one of the Whole Experience trips!!!

      This was a life changing experience with an amazing tribe of beautiful women! Costa Rica and Aves Resort were the perfect places to relax and be at peace. The Whole Experience leader Whitney is even more amazing, warm, and beautiful in person! Whitney put together a beautiful holisitic program! I am definitely traveling with this group again!

      This was the trip of a lifetime! I met so many wonderful women that I can confidently say will be lifelong friends. The itinerary was well rounded and organized and I felt comfortable and safe from beginning to end. I experienced so many "firsts" and "once in a lifetime" moments during this retreat. I highly recommend!

      Thee most exciting travel experience I’ve ever had. Tamika and Whitney are masters at their craft and have honed the skills to help others vibrate on higher levels. I’m sure my adventures will continue with them in the near future, and perhaps with some of you. Traveling the world 🌎 while enhancing our souls.

      The Whole Experience retreat in Cape Town superseded all of my expectations. Tameika and Whitney curated an experience that included adventure, relaxation, movement, self reflection, sisterhood, cultural education and celebration. Both Tameika and Whitney were intentional about holding space for every woman that attended and created a space that was authentic, safe and fun. They stayed true to their brand the entire week and made sure that we all had a “whole experience” in Cape Town, South Africa!

      I have written and deleted this review several times because words cannot describe The Whole Experience Retreats. The hosts, Whitney and Tameika, are beautiful souls. I can understand why they have an amazing friendship. Not only do they understand each other very well, but they understand you as well. They do their best to make you feel comfortable while being away from home. They are very attentive to your needs. I had a spiritual awakening while in the Motherland and I experienced it with some of most joyous, energizing, and loving people I have ever met. Honestly, words cannot describe how refreshed you will feel after attending one of the Whole Experience Retreats. I am a Tribe Member for LIFE! Thank you for an amazing experience that I will never forget ❤️
