Costa Rica 2025
March 24th-29th, 2025
Leave behind chronic stress and flourish in radiant health.
Flourish in Rest
You'll find profound rest lying by the infinity pool with a good book, napping on the sloth patio in the warm sun or being guided through nightly deep rest practices on the warm open air patio as the toucans call.
Flourish in Joy
You'll find joy listening to the rainforest at the base of a waterfall, watching the sun turn the sky red across the pacific and tasting fresh tropical fruit from a local farm for breakfast.
The Rooms
Flourish in astonishing beauty ...
Along the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica lies a stretch of lush rainforest and pristine beaches in the area near Manuel Antonio National Park. Here vivid scarlet macaws fly among green foliage and sloths dusted with the green of slow-growing algae hang from branches. In this magical land is a luxury boutique hotel called Lapazul; a haven of rest, beauty and nature. For this trip we will be reserving the entire hotel for our group alone. No strangers, no loud parties, no chaos or hustle. What will await you instead is views of the Pacific Coast from your room that will awe you to silence, warm sun chairs where you can watch the resident sloth climb among the trees and an open-air yoga platform where you can move with the sound of the jungle around you. You can read the reviews from folks who have visited Lapazul here and see for yourself the love that people have for this place.
The Luxury Boutique Hotel
Flourish in Nourishment
Curated, locally sourced meals are served three times a day with along with a snack. From the moment you arrive you'll be cared for. Expect only the freshest cuisine and feel free to think of it as a gentle detox with no processed foods, alcohol or meat. We'll enjoy local Costa Rican produce, seafood straight from the sea and exquisite fresh pressed juices. It's a farm to table gastronomic dream.
Contact Sabrina if you have unique dietary needs. The culinary team at Lapazul can accommodate them.
