Wellness in Costa Rica
Costa Rica’s commitment to holistic well-being is clear. Preserving nature is a core value, and those serene spaces create the ideal backdrops for yoga retreats, hot springs spas and other wellness vacations. Clean eating with wholesome ingredients is a natural way of life here. One region of Costa Rica, the Nicoya Peninsula, is even noted as an official Blue Zone – one of only five places in the world where the population enjoys exceptionally long and healthy lives. From the seaside to volcanic terrain, from the rainforest to the cloud forest – on an organized trip or a free-flowing itinerary – create an escape that’s beneficial to your mind, body and spirit.
