Aves Hotel & Resort Montezuma
Jungle practice, Pacific horizons
Above Montezuma, Aves brings together the comforts of a resort and the focus of a retreat setting. Its standout space is a large yoga and meditation shala set amid jungle greenery, with views toward the Pacific; the resort describes it as one of Costa Rica’s largest. Retreats and yoga teacher training share the setting with tropical gardens, pools, and trails that lead toward a river, so time between sessions can be spent outdoors rather than indoors. The hillside position gives the grounds a sense of openness, while the surrounding vegetation keeps the atmosphere close to nature. Aves suits travelers drawn to a retreat environment with resort surroundings, as well as people coming for a scheduled yoga program. Retreat formats and daily plans can differ, so check the details of your chosen dates with the resort before booking.
