Book your plane ticket to Liberia international airport (code LIR) in northern Costa Rica. The airport is about an hour’s drive from our retreat hotel.

You can also fly to San Jose’s Juan Santamaria International Airport (code SJO), Costa Rica’s capital city. From there, take a 50-minute domestic flight with Sansa Airlines to Tamarindo. From the airstrip, it is a 15-minute drive to our retreat hotel.

Allow at least 3 hours between your international flight arrival time and the domestic flight departure time.

To find the best flight options, check for one-way tickets on different airlines or fly to Liberia airport one way and San Jose airport the other way. 

After arriving in Liberia (or Tamarindo), we will arrange a shuttle to meet you and bring you to the retreat hotel. The transfer cost is not included, however, we are happy to assist with the arrangements from Liberia or anywhere in the Guanacaste area.  Contact us to request the cost of a transfer.

The retreat ends after breakfast on the last day. Check-out is at 11:00 AM.

The retreat leader is Sandra Tedeschi. The morning classes will be a mix of conditioning movements and Slow Flow vinyasa to enliven one’s energy, enhance flexibility and mobility, and build strength. Classes are structured so that participants may learn and advance their practice. Each class is specifically sequenced around a theme based in the Hatha and Tantra traditions.

Afternoon classes will be restorative yoga and guided meditation.

All levels of yoga experience are welcome, from beginners to more seasoned practitioners, to those who are in the professed “I-am-so-out-of-practice” state. The precept is: Come as you are. Start where you are.

November/December is the end of the rain season and beginning of the summer season in Guanacaste Province of Costa Rica. The landscape is vibrantly green and lush and it’s a beautiful time of year to visit. This region has a dry sub-tropical climate and the temperatures average from low-high 80s F during the day and low-mid 70s in the evenings. We only offer our retreats at the most favorable times of the year with regard to the weather.

The hotel’s chef creates fusion-style Costa Rican cuisine with locally sourced and fresh, organic ingredients. You will eat very well!

Special dietary needs such as vegetarian, vegan, gluten or dairy-free, and allergies can be accommodated. Please let us know when you book your retreat.

A variety of exciting tours and activities are offered outside of the retreat package. The options are extensive – do as much or as little as you like. Reservations can be made upon arrival at the hotel.

• Massage and spa treatments (10% off for retreat guests)
• Surfing lessons, Stand Up Paddle (SUP), kayaking
• Nature and wildlife walks
• Trails for hiking and mountain biking
• Horseback riding along the beach 
• ATV rental to explore on your own or with a guided tour

The retreat is limited to 18 persons to ensure quality and personalized attention for each guest. There is a minimum of five persons required to run a retreat. Many guests are single/solo travelers. Please feel very welcome to come on your own. It will be an incredible experience!

You are welcome to arrive earlier or depart later than the retreat dates and stay at the retreat hotel. Please contact us to check on availability and we will send you the nightly rate. Or ask us for recommendations of other destinations to visit in the region.

A non-refundable US $600 deposit and a completed online reservation form is required to confirm a reservation.

Full payment is due no later than 75 days before the retreat. Should you need to cancel your reservation before this date you will receive a refund for payment made less the $600 deposit. The deposit may be transferred to another Vajra Sol retreat within one year for a cancelation made before the final due date. Should you need to cancel after the final payment date, for whatever reason we will not be able to provide a refund or credit unless a replacement is found. No refund or credit will be given for arriving late or departing a retreat early or for meals/activities in which one does not participate.

If force majeure (e.g. pandemic, natural disaster, government travel restrictions, etc.) causes a retreat to be canceled we will offer alternative dates to reschedule the retreat within one year. In this case, there is
no refund of payments when a retreat cannot be held due to causes beyond our control. If the traveler is unable to join at the rescheduled date, full or partial credit of their payment may be applicable towards another Vajra Sol retreat. This will be determined at the time as it depends on how far out it is from the retreat start date. In the unlikely event Vajra Sol needs to cancel a retreat for a non-force majeure reason, a full refund will be given.

We strongly advise to purchase travel insurance at the time of booking your retreat in case of any unexpected events or changes to your plans before or during your trip.
