Cabuya Lodge

Jungle days, joyful reconnection

Costa Rica Cabuya paid

On a two-acre jungle property in Costa Rica’s Nicoya Blue Zone, Cabuya Lodge brings yoga and nature together with a generous dose of play. Retreats may include yoga, cacao and time outdoors, while the lodge’s waterfall pool, hammocks and open-air spaces make it easy to slow down between activities. The beach is a five-minute walk away, and jungle paths invite a closer look at the surrounding greenery and wildlife, including monkeys, hummingbirds and iguanas. Meals are prepared by local chefs using fresh, locally sourced organic ingredients, with options for a range of dietary preferences. Cabuya Lodge hosts its own retreats as well as programs led by visiting teachers, so the focus and format can vary from one stay to another. It’s a lively choice for travelers who want room for reflection without putting the fun of a tropical getaway on pause.
