Host a retreat or join one
ECOTICA is a boutique hotel on about ten acres of rainforest, minutes from Manuel Antonio National Park. Retreat leaders bring their groups here for yoga, wellness, fitness, nature and team time, and we look after the setting, the rooms and the food. Travelers can also join retreats we announce, when dates are set.
Host your retreat at ECOTICA
Everything your group needs is on one rainforest property:
- Open-air rainforest deck for up to 50 people

- Restaurant open 6:00 am to 9:00 pm for group breakfasts, lunches and dinners

Retreats that fit ECOTICA
These are the kinds of retreats our spaces suit. They describe what the venue offers organizers, not scheduled programs.
YOGA RETREATS
Practice on the yoga deck with the rainforest all around, then let the day unfold between the pool, the spa and shared meals. You bring the teaching and the schedule; we provide the rooms, the food and the setting.
WELLNESS & SPA RETREATS
Balance movement and rest with treatments at Jungle Spa: massages, facials, tropical body rituals and private outdoor jungle showers. Quiet nights and the sounds of the forest do the rest.
ZUMBA & DANCE FITNESS
The open-air deck gives a group of up to 50 room to move. Dance in the morning, cool off in the pool, and gather for dinner at La Poza or YOLO Social.
PILATES & FITNESS
Run mat sessions on the deck and strength work in the gym, which looks out over the rainforest. Recovery is close by: the pool, the spa and a good night’s sleep.
WOMEN’S RETREATS
A small boutique hotel in the rainforest makes a warm base for a women’s circle: yoga, spa time, tours and long dinners together. Mix bungalows and suites to suit how your group likes to share.
NATURE, PHOTOGRAPHY & BIRDWATCHING
Howler monkeys, sloths, toucans, scarlet macaws and butterflies are part of daily life here, and Manuel Antonio National Park is minutes away. Breakfast from 6:00 am suits early outings; sightings always depend on nature.
ADVENTURE RETREATS
Pair active days with calm evenings. Our concierge can arrange tours around Manuel Antonio, from the national park to the ocean, before everyone heads back to the pool and the spa.
CORPORATE & TEAM RETREATS
Take your team somewhere that changes the conversation. Meet on the deck, share meals, add tours or team activities, and let everyone recharge. Ask us about airport transportation for the group.
Retreat planning questions
How many people can ECOTICA host?
The open-air rainforest deck is comfortable for up to 50 people, and the hotel has 19 rooms, including bungalows and suites. Tell us your group size and we will suggest a room mix.
Can you provide meals for the group?
Yes. Our restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner menus from 6:00 am to 9:00 pm. We plan group meals with you once we know your schedule and any dietary needs.
Do you help with transportation and activities?
Yes. See our airport transportation page, and our concierge can arrange tours in and around Manuel Antonio.
Is there a retreat I can join?
Not right now. Ask to be notified and we will send you the details when a retreat opens for booking.
Do you publish retreat packages or prices?
Not at the moment. Every retreat is different, so we prepare a proposal based on your dates, group size and program.
How close is ECOTICA to the national park?
ECOTICA sits on its own rainforest property, about ten acres, just minutes from Manuel Antonio National Park, so park visits fit easily into a retreat schedule.
Tell us about your retreat
