Your Venue: Encanta La Vida
Living the Enchanted Life
Tucked between jungle and ocean, Encanta La Vida is a fully solar-powered sacred sanctuary where nature awakens your senses and simplicity restores your spirit.
Originally created as a private getaway for surfers, each of the 10 uniquely designed rooms were added over time offering their own charm and character—crafted with heart and built especially for rewilding, reconnecting, and remembering what truly matters.
Walk the Wild Path
where you’re invited to be enchanted by life—one wild and wondrous moment at a time.
Created in harmony with the surrounding natural world, Encanta La Vida is more than a place to stay—it’s a way of living. The heart-centered team that stewards this land follows the sacred rhythm of the equatorial influence. Here, life aligns to the rise and fall of the tides and the light of the sun and stars. It's perfectly aligned with the teachings of Ayurvedic living. Early to bed, early to rise.
Encanta La Vida means “enchanted life” in Spanish—though it also whispers, love life. And that’s exactly what happens here. You fall in love again—with the Earth "Pancha Mama", with life, with yourself.
Where the Rainforest Whispers You Awake
Whether you’re dreaming of a three-story Treehouse nestled in the jungle or watching the night sky from your rooftop perch in Stargazer, each room is a doorway into nature’s embrace.
From your private balcony, you can watch birds and monkeys playing each morning. Imagine sipping coffee while soaking in the lush green rainforest and its abundant aliveness. Wherever you rest your head, expect earthy elegance, jungle melodies, and soul-soothing serenity all around you.
There is plenty for you to explore from this beachfront lodge. Wander the winding nature trails that lead through the jungle and along the coast, opening to stunning beaches. Pamper yourself with a deep therapeutic massage or Thai yoga session serenaded by sound of crashing waves. Cool off with a refreshing dip in the saltwater pool beneath swaying palms.
Every moment at Encanta La Vida invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and feel completely at home in the wild beauty that surrounds you.
5-Star Cuisine in the Heart of the Jungle
As the sun begins to set, you gather at the poolside cabana bar with new friends. A cool mocktail or glass of wine in hand, laughter bubbles up as you share stories and reflect on the magic of the day.
You find your seat in the open-air full-service dining room as the scent of garlic, coconut, and sweet plantains tantilizes your taste buds. With your first bite, the flavors come alive—traditional gallo pinto with caramelized plantains, coconut tico ceviche, and herb-crusted mahi mahi drizzled in passion fruit butter. Each dish is vibrant, nourishing, and crafted with fresh, organic ingredients delivered daily by local farmers and fishermen.
You can taste the care, the culture, and the rhythm of the land in every bite. Whether you eat plant-based, dairy-free, gluten-free, or have other needs, the chefs are happy to create something just for you.
This is nourishment that delights all your senses—food made with love, served with joy, and remembered long after the last bite.
Your Retreat Flow
Become Familiar
Your First Full Day begins with nutritious breakfast before boarding the tour bus bright and early. You'll embark on your introductory adventure to La Paz Waterfall Gardens. You gather by the river, deep in the jungle, to set personal intentions in your first shared ritual. Then freely wander through the tropical rain forest taking in the power of five majestic waterfalls.
Sit for a bit in the hummingbird garden, stroll through the butterfly house, or visit the jaguar's den. Learn about the incredible biodiversity that Costa Rica offers as their treasured gift.
Fly High
You laugh with new friends as you board the 14-seater commuter plane to enjoy a bird's eye view of the verdant valleys and pristine coastline. A 40-minute flight lands you in Puerto Jimenez on the Osa Peninsula - known as the remote jewel of Costa Rica.
From there you'll be transferred to a 4WD shuttle van which will deliver you to Encanta La Vida. Your home for the next 6 nights.
Soothe Your Soul
You peacefully awaken each morning to the sweet sounds of the jungle and you know it's another beautiful day in paradise - the stunning beaches, the abundant birdsong, and the lush jungle are mesmerizing.
You walk the path to the open-air Yoga Shala and take in the amazing ocean view. It's time to journey inward with rich, empowering practices of yoga and meditation. You'll greet each morning sensing a lightness in your body, clarity of mind, and rejuvenated spirit.
You'll return home with a new approach to your yoga practice, easily integrated into everyday life.
Immerse in Nature
Costa Rica is world-renowned for its abundant and diverse exotic wildlife with over 500,000 species of wild animals. Watch an incredible variety of animals including monkeys, toucans, macaws, coatimundi, aguoti and sloths pass by as you practice yoga in the shala and relax in a hammock at your casita.
Here, amidst the lush splendor of this protected land, you will awaken to the call of howler monkeys and crashing waves with soft, gentle air upon your skin.
Activate Adventure
Throughout your eco-adventure you surprise yourself as our expert instructors have you surfing the waves with grace and ease. Your spirit soars as dolphins guide your boat through the turquoise waters. You find yourself bathing under a pristine waterfall, and squealing with delight as you paddle under the moon through the sparkling bioluminescence in Golfo Dulce.
Your wild side is fully awakened!
Release into Ease
You feel blissfully satisfied lounging by the pool or joyfully swinging in your hammock after your deliciously healing massage. You choose exactly how to enjoy yourself to the fullest. You're soaking in the luxurious free time between transformational sessions of yoga, meditation, music and magic.
When you slip into your cozy bed for the night, you are lulled into a deep sleep by the soft sounds of the jungle.
Embrace Sacred Ritual
Explore, express, and celebrate the art of ritual. In essence, a ritual is about bringing sacredness into each day, evoking something greater than yourself. Imbue your own life with greater potency, and joy by embracing simple daily practices to enhance your outlook, bring you peace, and help you to experience your true nature. As you discover what supports your way of being, you’ll create a personal ritual with which to continue nourishing your spirit long after you return home.
