Costa Dulce is hands down the best retreat center I’ve worked with. I co-hosted a two-week yoga teacher training and simultaneously ran two yoga retreats. Not only did everyone leave with that sort of beach-dream bliss, but we all left with a sense that we were part of the Costa Dulce family. – Diana

Costa Dulce retreat center is located remotely at Playa Escameca Grande on the Pacific Ocean.
We are surrounded by lush jungle, protected nature reserves, ocean, as well as a freshwater river and lagoon. Abundant amounts of wildlife share this exquisite location. Our remote location makes this eco-retreat centre a desirable location for retreat leaders and guests to visit from all over the world.
We welcome talented teachers from around the globe, with their unique teaching styles, to host workshops, retreats & Yoga Teacher Trainings.
We have two beach-view shala’s, daily fresh farm-to-table cuisine, a jungle spa with several natural beauty treatments and a broad number of activities to provide your guests with the best possible experience.
Costa Dulce is made of two retreat centers, both carefully designed to host the perfect beachfront retreat experience. Located on one of the most majestic coastlines the facilities seamlessly blend into the jungle. Private enough to completely relax and find a holistic connection with your group yet close enough to San Juan del Sur that you can experience a busy tourist destination if you want. Let our community of over 30 staff share their loving energy to ensure the success of your retreat.
