Montezuma, Costa Rica

Sunflower Retreats has been heading to Costa Rica for years now -- it's practically our second home!

Now we're offering our clients a new adventure, a yoga holiday retreat in the paradise of Montezuma, a small, boho town north of the Cabo Blanco Nature Preserve, not far from Tambor Bay.

This seaside paradise is the perfect setting for yoga practitioners: it's warm, sunny, and the sound of the surf crashes rhythmically in the background. The sea soothes everyone in Montezuma, whether you're striking a Warrior Pose or stretching into a headstand or just walking along the glorious beaches.  Our friendly, knowledgeable yoga instructors are there to keep a watchful eye and help when you're practising a pose that's new to you, or when you want to refine a pose you've been practising for ages.

When you're ready for a little time away from the retreat, on your own or perhaps with a new friend, Montezuma has so much to offer. Indulge in a marvellous vegetarian lunch in town, then go strolling on the beach -- there are several! -- to find souvenirs to take home. Go swimming in the azure blue waters, and if you're feeling brave, take a surfing lesson from a friendly local.

Head back to our retreat and relax in your private room or shared accommodation -- that choice is entirely up to you.

Check out the next day's class schedule and decide which ones you would like to try, or try none at all. A yoga holiday with Sunflower Retreats has little or lots of yoga, you can plan that in advance or be spontaneous and decide once you've arrived. And when you feel in need of a little pampering, a little attention to your skin and joints, we have just the right specialist to perform a miraculous massage therapy (or two!) to get your system revved up and restored in no time. Your skin will glow, your mood will brighten, and your friends will say you look a few years younger -- all the ingredients of a fulfilling, memorable holiday.

Have we mentioned the food? We've been arranging yoga holidays in Costa Rica for a long time now, so we have good relationships with many locals, whom we trust to supply us with fresh, organic food. What arrives on your plate was grown at a farm nearby, every ingredient full of natural, nutritious goodness and crisp flavours. And we accommodate all dietary requirements, whether it's a gluten-free menu you prefer or an aversion to dairy. Let us know when you make your travel arrangements, and we will take care to ensure that all your dietary needs and preferences are met -- and you'll still have fabulous, filling meals, day and night.

Montezuma is another spoke in our wheel of wondrous yoga holidays. Join us soon, and see how Sunflower Retreats makes your retreat much more than a holiday -- it's an adventure!
