The Most Perfect Place for a Retreat in Costa Rica
I decided to make my journey to Peace Retreat for a solo, 10-day Yoga Retreat, and I was not disappointed. Peace Retreat is located in the laid-back surf town of Playa Negra, Costa Rica, which has a population of about 200 people. It is walkable, safe, and extremely friendly. Peace Retreat itself offers a wide variety of Retreat Options - Yoga Retreat, Surf Retreats, Detox Retreats, Adventure Retreats, and Yoga Teacher Training. I chose the Yoga Retreat, which included a delicious, healthy breakfast every morning and 2 daily Yoga Classes.
Peace Retreat is owned by a wonderful man named Kevin, who also lives on-site, which I found very comforting - although I never had any issues. There are two types of accommodation - private rooms in "Casa Yoga" (a large house) which feature queen size beds and private bathrooms, and jungle-style Cabinas with two single beds and common washroom area. The facilities include the large, screened 'Studio De Paz' Yoga Studio, a pool, and a community kitchen area. All of the comforts of town are a short 15 minute walk away from the retreat, and activities such as Horseback Riding, Ziplining, and Surfing can be arranged through Kevin.
