Costa Rica originated from volcanic activity over four million years ago,

emerging as a bridge joining North and South America.

The country has more than 100 sleeping volcanoes re-mineralising the

earth and many active volcanoes aligned like pearls on a chain. Arenal,

Poás (the second largest crater in the world), and Irazú are the most active.

Our privileged location provides incredible biodiversity, 5% of the planet’s

to be exact. We seek to honor and celebrate this oneness with the earth

in our spa.

We partner with like-minded people that care for the planet, from

every vendor we work with to our spa staff, as we believe that to provide

a wellness experience for others, we need to be in harmony with

ourselves and with the planet.

INTRODUCTION

Our origins are in energy, unity, and celebrating the richness of Costa

Rica’s biodiversity. Spa services embrace a holistic approach and include

millenarian traditions – Ayurveda, a holistic healing system founded on

the principle that health and wellness depends on a gentle balance of the

five elements present in our bodies; the traditional Turkish Hammam, an

excellent cleansing and purification ritual with a wealth of tradition and

history; Reiki, a Japanese energy healing technique; and Sound Healing,

a centuries-old Tibetan therapy used for meditation and balancing rituals.

The spa seeks to bring together time-tested wellness practices from

around the world, and in doing so, care for ourselves and Mother Earth.

DO WELL TO BE WELL

A vital part of the wellness offerings are inspired by our native people

and customs. With Siwa, or knowledge, of the Cabecar tribes, we under-

stand that Costa Rican biodiversity and sustainability practices are

deeply rooted in our traditions. Our native people believe that we are

one with Mother Nature and that wellbeing comes from a balanced life

with respect for everything and everybody.

The best way to get to now Costa Rica is to get to know Costa Ricans, or

ticos. Through our partnership with Creciendo Juntos you can sponsor

a yoga class or paint schools, buy school supplies, meet and befriend

local families, and give back to the local community.

In order to honor Mother Nature, we recommend taking shorter

showers, buying local, rethinking plastic water bottles, and using

reusable shopping bags. Simple practices have meaningful impact.

Reiki can assist to ease tension and stress and support the body to facilitate its own healing abilities.
