Yoga

At Encanta la Vida we offer a variety of Yoga services. Practice Yoga individually anytime or with a class on our beautiful ocean view Yoga Deck. Also enjoy our Spa treatments as part of our Yoga Retreat packages.

Retreats

Encanta La Vida facilitates numerous yoga retreats every year. We offer our entire lodge to instructors for groups of 20 or more participants. Our two-story 36 x 33 foot yoga deck is located at the beach under the rainforest canopy and overlooks the crystal blue waters of the “Golfo Dulce,” the ideal place for a unique yoga experience.

Why Encanta La Vida? Location is key!

What makes Encanta La Vida the best place for a yoga retreat is not only the quality of service we provide or the beautiful lodge itself but our great location. Our lodge is nestled between the mountains and shore of Cabo Matapalo where the secondary forest meets the primary forest. Matapalo is known as the epicenter for flora and fauna in the area. Four species of monkeys, toucans and scarlet macaws are seen from our lodge and yoga deck regularly. We are the only lodge at the beach in Matapalo, considered by many as the most exclusive area on the Osa. We are also fortunate to have the best beaches for swimming, sunbathing and surfing are right in front of our property!

The Spa

The Encanta la Vida Spa located at the yoga pavilion was specially designed for yoga retreats. The lower level has two separate areas where you can enjoy spa treatment, acupuncture and massage.

Not only Yoga

There are many activities to keep yourself entertained including taking one of the many tours offered in the area. Rappel down waterfalls, Zip-line through the rainforest or take other guided tours. See our tours page for more information. Our location is ideal for yoga retreats that would like to include surfing as part of the daily activities. The surf break Pan Dulce is located in front of the yoga deck and is a gentle right point, great for surfers of all levels. Lesson packages can be arranged and the lodge has a variety of boards available for rent.

What about the food?

We understand that yoga groups enjoy a healthy and sometimes very specific diet, so we have developed a menu with something for every taste and dietary need. Our chef makes both local Costa Rican dishes as well as recipes with an international flare. We often have fresh fish and all of our fruits and vegetables are locally grown.
