ViYarte
Yoga days, Pacific coast evenings
Yoga here comes with the sound of the Pacific: ViYarte’s hardwood shala looks out toward the ocean, and Playa Marsella is only steps away. The experience blends retreat time with the comforts of a small beach hotel, including air-conditioned rooms, a pool, café, restaurant, Wi-Fi, and housekeeping. Playa Maderas, a renowned surf break, is nearby, while lively San Juan del Sur is about a 15-minute drive north. ViYarte also hosts events and workshops, so the feel of a stay can shift with the retreat in residence rather than follow one fixed format. Yoga is the listed practice, and food preferences can include vegetarian, vegan, pescetarian, gluten-free, and dairy-free options. It’s a good fit for travelers who want time for practice without giving up the freedom to swim, explore, or make a day of the coast. Check with ViYarte about the schedule and what is included in your chosen retreat.
