Had the most amazing time at Embody! DTO is a fantastic host that took us to all the locals spots, which is exactly what we wanted! That and to just relax and chill. Would recommend staying there w/ a few folks or even booking your next retreat!
A Special and Transformative Retreat Embody in Costa Rica is one of those places that stays with you long after you leave. The property is peaceful and beautiful, with a serene pool, walking labyrinth, and lush tropical surroundings that instantly reconnect you to the magic of Costa Rica. From arrival to departure, everything was thoughtfully handled. Fabricio provided seamless transportation to and from the airport, and co-owner DTO took care of every detail during our stay. A man of many talents: guide, translator, driver, music producer, and sound healer, just to name a few. He created a deeply personal experience. Exploring the area in their red open-air Tuk Tuk, including visits to the natural hot springs, local farmers market, a downtown tour, and much more. The accommodations were beautifully and intentionally designed by co-owner Hemalayaa. The queen-size bunk beds featured full privacy curtains, built-in wall cubbies, and power outlets, along with blackout curtains to help with the early 5:30am sunrise. Every design detail, down to the unique sink basin and faucets, made the space feel both functional and inspiring. I experienced a powerful breathwork and clarity session in Embody’s stunning on-site studio. It is a warm and immersive space with wooden floors, soft lighting, floor mats, pillows, blankets, and thoughtfully placed instruments. Afterward, I had a quiet moment swinging outside under the night sky overlooking the pool, feeling like a kid again, peaceful and present. Right before departing for the airport, co-owner Hemalayaa treated us to a warm farewell lunch, and DTO closed our stay with a grounding sound bath session in the studio using the harmonium and rain stick. It was a deeply calming and meaningful end to the experience. I left Embody with clarity, a full heart, and a deep sense of peace. I will absolutely be back. Highly recommend this retreat for anyone seeking rest, healing, and meaningful connection.
I have to say that this is by far my favorite experience in Costa Rica. DTO was so welcoming and knowledgeable of the culture here. I felt comfortable immediately upon arrival. He showed us around and gave insight into the design process over the past years. The work does not go unnoticed. The location is beautiful with the most perfect weather. The grounds have such a beautiful variety of local flora. Very well kept and clean. The space for yoga and classes has a gorgeous view. Plenty of space for larger groups. DTO showed us this beautiful waterfall on private land not too far from Embody. There is a nominal entrance fee, but so worth it. It’s a short hike to the waterfall and isn’t too difficult. The water is so clean. They also serve up some good food at a Soda before you walk down if you’re hungry. I got a chicken plate and it was delish. The pool on site was clean and refreshing. There is also hot tub to chill in. It was the perfect place for rest and relaxation after a long trip. Last night there was a full moon and I was able to see it through the trees from one of the outdoor showers. (Which have hot water!) You can really feel the love and thoughtfulness of the design throughout the space. If you’re coming to Costa Rica, I suggest taking some time to unwind here before you depart. Also a perfect place for a retreat. Pura Vida! 🇨🇷 🌺 🦜 🌴
