Almond & Corals
Rainforest days, Caribbean nights
Jungle sounds are part of the stay at Almond & Corals, where Caribbean-style cottages sit among the rainforest near Manzanillo, Costa Rica. The setting invites a slower pace: spend time among the trees, then head out to explore the surrounding landscape or simply enjoy the natural quiet. The boutique hotel combines an intimate, nature-led feel with comforts including a restaurant serving locally sourced food and an open-air bar. A private beach and guided wildlife outings add options for time outdoors. For retreat travelers, this is better understood as a rainforest stay than as a dedicated meditation center with a defined practice or daily schedule. It may suit someone who wants nature, quiet and space to unwind alongside a visit to the Caribbean coast. Ask the host about any retreat activities, meal arrangements and what is included before booking.
