A Closed Property for a Retreat of Eight or Fourteen

A retreat holds only if nobody else is in the building. Here nobody else is.

Stealing Time takes retreats of up to eight, or fourteen with our contiguous property. Perfect for a teacher and a small group, a wellness offsite, a training. 

The shala

The leaf-shaped roofs cover this 35 sqM bamboo floored fully open platform. It holds 12 comfortably for yoga, and has a stunning view.

Yoga instructors can be arranged as add-ons, on request.

the cold plunge

A rarity in Costa Rica, and one with a view is even more so. The chiller can reach 5º after 24 hours, and we have ice blocks on standby, should you feel adventurous.

The air conditioned gym

The gym is equipped to allow for a real workout, with a Smith machine, TRX, free weights, and bars, balls, kettle bells, and an elliptical.

A personal trainer can be arranged as an add-on, on request.

The salt water pool

The infinity pool was sculpted into a hill on the property to line up perfectly with ocean’s horizon line. A near-perfect place to watch the sunrise.

The treatment room

A separate room beside the waterfall, with an ocean view. Therapists are booked in advance; a 60-minute treatment runs $60–100, against roughly $200 at a resort.

Bringing your own group

Retreat hosts bring their own instructors, therapists and caterers, or we arrange local ones. 

The Penthouse kitchen is a full gourmet kitchen — induction, convection, Vitamix — so a clean menu is straightforward to cook in-house, and caterers come in when it isn’t.

Up to eight guests, four bedrooms, or up to 14 guests, seven bedrooms, three to seven nights depending on the season and property.
