Our Retreats
Tailored for You
Stillness
Restorative, Immersive, Serene.
​
The Stillness Retreat invites you to slow down, reconnect, and savour the natural rhythm of Costa Rica. Each day begins with grounding yoga, complemented by mindful beach walks and restorative evening sound baths that ease you into deep presence.​
Throughout the week, you’ll explore Tamarindo’s beauty through curated experiences—including a tranquil estuary tour, an immersive visit to Diamanté Park, vibrant local markets, and a breathtaking private catamaran sail.
Evenings are a blend of connection and comfort, from a sunset dinner on the beach to a hotel social and a hosted dinner designed to bring the group together. Every moment is thoughtfully crafted to restore your energy, nourish your spirit, and invite a renewed sense of calm and clarity.
​
Starting at $2500USD per person for a 7-day, 6-night, retreat.
Energizing, Adventurous, Experiential.
​
The Adventure Retreat is designed for those who feel most alive when movement, exploration, and nature converge. Each day begins with grounding yoga, balanced by mindful beach walks that connect you to the rhythm of the coastline before the day’s adventures unfold.
You’ll hike the scenic trails of Las Catalinas and enjoy a beach picnic, then journey through La Leona’s waterfalls, canyons, and white-water tubing for an unforgettable immersion in Costa Rica’s wild beauty. A private catamaran sail adds a touch of ocean magic, while visits to the local day and night markets bring colour, culture, and community into the experience.
Evenings offer space to connect and unwind, from a sunset dinner on the beach to our hotel social and a hosted dinner that gathers the group together. Every element is thoughtfully curated to inspire energy, discovery, and a renewed sense of adventure.

"My experience with In the Shade was incredible from start to finish. The food was fresh and delicious every single day. The hotel staff were unbelievable friendly and attentive to our needs, and every excursion partner was professional and clearly vetted with care. It felt seamless, supportive and so thoughtfully curate."

"Yoga was tailored to activities and situations ie. extra spine stretch after long flight, stretch for hips after hiking. Sound bath was a great wind down at the end of the day. Beach is so close by it’s an easy walk to get to and a long, beautiful, clean shoreline, perfect for a relaxing walk and beach combing for beautiful shells or sitting and watching the waves roll in. "
