Wellness and Spa Retreats in Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica
Rest, renew and reconnect in the rainforest. ECOTICA brings together everything a wellness retreat dreams of: Jungle Spa on the property, an open-air deck among the trees, a pool framed by flowers and quiet, beautiful rooms. You bring the program and the people; we wrap it all in warm, attentive hospitality.
A spa on the property
Jungle Spa is open every day from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm. The menu has relaxing, bamboo, volcanic stone and deep-tissue massages, couples treatments, facials with natural products, body rituals with cacao, banana and carrot, and manicures and pedicures.
For a group we can plan the treatments around your schedule, so everyone gets the time they want without waiting.
A deck for movement, circles and quiet time
The open-air deck sits in the rainforest and holds up to 60 people for yoga, breathwork, meditation, workshops or a closing circle.
- Room for up to 60 on mats or in a circle, with a roofed section so a tropical shower becomes part of the soundtrack, not a cancellation.
- Yoga mats and basic equipment on site.
- Wi-Fi, a sound system with a microphone, and tables and chairs when you need them.
- A bathroom and showers right on the deck.
- La POZA bar next to the deck for fresh juices, water and drinks between sessions.
A good fit for women’s retreats
A small hotel suits a women’s group: you see the same faces at breakfast, the pool and dinner, and the whole group stays close, the way a retreat should feel. Mix bungalows and suites to match how your group likes to share, add spa time and a morning in the national park, and keep long dinners at La POZA for the conversations.
Rooms, meals and a hotel to yourselves
Seventeen quiet rooms, 10 suites and 7 private bungalows across about 10 acres of rainforest, give every participant a calm place to rest between treatments. Rooms sleep two to four, leaders often take a bungalow, and a full takeover of up to 45 guests makes the spa, pool and deck your group’s alone.
Nourishing food is part of the program: breakfast is included, and La POZA, by the pool, cooks lunch and dinner from 6:00 am to 9:00 pm with vegetarian and vegan dishes. Share diets and allergies early and we will build the group menu around your retreat.
Transfers and tours
We collect your group at the airport: a private transfer from San José is US$195 each way for up to 5 people, and we quote larger groups as one. Between sessions, our concierge can book tours that suit a wellness rhythm.
Manuel Antonio National Park is a few minutes away, and our concierge can add a guided walk, a boat trip or a chocolate tour to the program.
Questions from retreat leaders
Can retreat guests book spa treatments?
Yes. Jungle Spa is open every day from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm. For a group, tell us ahead and we will plan the treatment times with you.
Can we take over the whole hotel for a wellness retreat?
Yes. With all 17 rooms reserved, up to 45 guests share a private rainforest setting, with the Jungle Spa and the pool close at hand for the whole program.

Yes. The open-air deck holds up to 60 people, with Wi-Fi, a sound system with a microphone, tables and chairs, and a bathroom with showers. Part of it has a roof.
Who runs the wellness program?
You do. You bring the program, and we bring the setting: the deck, Jungle Spa, the rooms and the meals.
Can the meals fit our wellness program?
Yes. La POZA offers vegetarian and vegan dishes, and we shape the group menu with you around your program: lighter breakfasts, fresh fruit and dinners that follow the rhythm of your days.
What does a wellness retreat cost?
It depends on your program. We price rooms, meals and Jungle Spa treatments together in one proposal for your dates and group size.
