Known for its ‘pure-vida’ lifestyle, lush rainforests, tropical beaches, and delicious cuisine, our Costa Rica fitness retreat is a week of adventure and workouts like no other. If there's an Escape week that should be on your bucket list, this is it.
A fitness retreat with an adventurous side
On this 6 night Escape to the Guanacaste region of Costa Rica, we’ll stay in a luxury beachfront villa overlooking the beautiful golden sands of Playa Langosta, at the remote end of Tamarindo. This beach town is known for its unparalleled surf, laid-back vibes, and endless adventure and outdoor activities, making it the perfect base for a week of exploring and relaxing. Salt, sunsets and pura vida are on the menu for our days here in paradise. Scroll to take a look at our Escape villa, read about the local area, and find out what else you can expect on our epic fitness retreat to Costa Rica.
About the area
Tamarindo is known for its exceptional surf, endless outdoor adventure opportunities, and its thriving, diverse culture. The stretch of golden beaches that surround Tamarindo offer perfect waves for every surfer from beginner to pro. If surfing isn’t your thing, there are incredible spots for kayaking, SUP’ing and snorkelling, or adventuring into the jungle for hiking, zip-lining and swimming in waterfalls. The cafe and food scene in Tamarindo is unparalleled, with everything from small beach bars serving up the freshest drinks and tacos, to healthy cafes famed for their breakfasts and coffee, and to incredible oceanfront restaurants where you can enjoy one of the best sunsets and meals of your life. Costa Rica is undoubtedly known for it’s incredible wildlife, and there’s a good chance you’ll wake up to the sounds of howler monkeys in the trees nearby. For more wildlife action, you can head to the nearby Marino las Baulas national park, one of the most important sites in Costa Rica for sea-turtle nesting.
The villa
Our Escape villa sits in prime position overlooking the golden sands and rolling surf of Playa Langosta, just outside of the beautiful beach town of Tamarindo. With just a few steps down from the villa's garden to a quiet stretch of beach, we can spend the week soaking up the sunshine and salt in absolute paradise on earth. The villa’s pool, garden and outdoor seating areas provide a great space to relax between workouts and adventures, and get to know new friends. With a giant table for indoor dining with breathtaking views over the ocean, and an outdoor table by the beach with front row seats to the sunset, we’ll be spoilt for choice for group meals served up by our private chefs.
The villa provides room options for every traveller joining us on our Escape week. The Master rooms come with king size beds, beautiful en-suites and feature jaw-dropping views overlooking the pool and ocean. These rooms are great for solo travellers wanting to really treat themselves, or perfect for travellers coming with a partner or friend.

The deluxe double rooms are just like the masters with big, beautiful beds and en-suites, and feature garden views. These rooms are best for solo travellers who want a room to themselves, or ideal for travellers sharing with a friend or partner. Book a Deluxe Double room on our Costa Rica fitness retreat here.

Day 1 - Touchdown Costa Rica
Check in after 4 pm and settle in for an epic week. Explore this jaw-dropping villa, meet your new friends by the pool, unwind with a mobility session to shake off travel-day. As the sun sets, enjoy welcome drinks overlooking the ocean, followed by our first group dinner.
Day 2 - Workout, Recover, Relax
Kick off the first full-day with a team workout and a big Costa Rican breakfast (just you wait). Hit the beach before our guided recovery session and a big nutritious lunch. Enjoy an afternoon of poolside chill-time or take a golf-buggy to explore the local beach town, before we hit workout number 2.
Day 3 - Workouts and Waves
A morning of surfing with the help of some local instructors. Kick back and relax with some recovery, and work up a sweat in our afternoon beach workout. In between all that, enjoy heaps of down-time to chill, explore and embrace the sounds and sights of beautiful Costa Rica. If you're after a little extra adventure, head off into the national park for some zip-lining.
Day 4 - Chasing Waterfalls
You can't come to Costa Rica and not swim in a waterfall! So after a morning workout and big brekkie, we set off for our waterfall hike and jungle adventure. Lunch at the waterfalls and swim stops along the way, before we head back to our villa for some sundowners, and a magical sunset dinner.
Day 5 - Surf, Recovery & Feast
Kick off Day 5 with a workout, brekkie and more surfing, sunning and exploring. Enjoy a chill afternoon of recovery, with a stretch session, ice baths and beachfront massages. Time to get your best fits on for a special sunset dinner, as we head out for a feast at our favourite local spot.
Day 6 - Beach Workouts And Farewell Dinner
Last full day together so we're going out with a bang, with workouts, beach adventures and heaps of down-time with your new mates. As golden hour rolls around, it's time to get ready for our farewell dinner as the sun sets over the ocean. Cheers to new friends, and unforgettable memories!
Day 7 - Most Feel Good Week of Your Life
