Friendsgiving Retreat
Nosara, Costa Rica
Nov. 24-29, 2026

ground in gratitude on
the costa rican pacific

Join us for Friendsgiving in Nosara, Costa Rica — a hip beach town where jungle meets the Pacific. We’ll be staying just steps from the golden sands of Playa Guiones, a long, expansive stretch of coastline known for consistent surf, warm water, and sunsets that stop you in your tracks.

Each day includes two intentional yoga practices; an energetic morning practice and a slower, more restorative or exploratory afternoon session. Yoga is the thread that connects us with ourselves and others.

Daily nourishing breakfasts are included to fuel your practices and adventures, along with a beautiful opening dinner to welcome the week and a closing dinner to celebrate our time together.

We’ll also spend a day on the water with an included group boat excursion — an opportunity to experience the coastline from a different perspective, splash around in the Pacific, and soak in the wild beauty of Costa Rica together.

In between scheduled offerings, Nosara invites you to explore. Take a surf lesson, walk miles of beach, visit a wildlife refuge, enjoy vibrant health-forward cafés, or simply sway in a hammock and let the jungle rhythms reset your nervous system.

This retreat is about being together. Practice deeply. Play fully. Connect genuinely. Stay

Our home for the week is a thoughtfully designed wellness retreat that reflects the relaxed, connected spirit of Nosara. Clean, modern rooms offer comfort without excess. Open-air lounges, a sparkling pool, shaded terraces, and plenty of hammocks create natural gathering points for conversation, reflection, and rest. It’s the kind of place where mornings begin slowly with coffee and ocean air, and evenings wind down under a canopy of stars.

Dream Stations

The rooms at our home-base are warm, thoughtfully designed, and rooted in the spirit of Costa Rica. Teak wood finishings, local touches, and carefully chosen details give each room a sense of place — this isn't a cookie-cutter hotel, it's somewhere you'll actually want to spend time. Comfortable, cool, and full of character, the rooms offer a genuine retreat from the world while keeping you connected to the beauty just outside your door.

Practice SPace

Our daily yoga practices will be held in an open air studio that is equipped with all the gear you’ll need. Leave your mat at home, we got you covered!.

Things to do while off the mat…

When you're not on the mat, Nosara has plenty to pull you in. Zip line through the rainforest canopy, ride horses along the beach at golden hour, or catch your first — or hundredth — wave in one of Costa Rica's most beloved surf towns. Wander through local shops for handmade treasures, or simply sink into a chair by the pool with a good book and nowhere to be. However you choose to spend your free time, Nosara has a way of making it feel like exactly the right choice.
