Sun to Soul

Women’s Wellness Retreat

Costa Rica | Feb 2028

Paradise Villas, Nosara, Costa Rica

8 days | 7 nights

Feb 19th-26th, 2028

Escape back to you.

Imagine stepping away from the noise of everyday life and into a week where you can breathe a little deeper, move a little slower, and remember what brings you joy.

Warm sun, ocean air, movement, beautiful food, nature, laughter, meaningful conversations, and plenty of time to simply be.

This is your chance to put down what you've been carrying for a while and reconnect with yourself, your body, and the life you want to be living.

Get Started

A few words from women who’ve retreated with me

“It was such a fulfilling experience that gave me time to connect with other like minded women and to practice yoga both on and off the mat.”

Priscilla Dwyer

“It was my first time out of the country and Crystal made me feel at ease. I had the time of my life with the women I met on the retreat. I cannot say enough great things about Crystal and this amazing experience.”

Angela Ofstad

“Crystal Gray Yoga’s Costa Rica retreat was truly unforgettable. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, while still giving us the freedom to make the experience our own.”

-Becky Broderick

Our Private, Tropical Retreat

For the week, Paradise Villas is yours. Tucked into the lush tropical landscape of Playa Pelada in Nosara, this private retreat property gives us the rare luxury of having our own little corner of Costa Rica, with the beach just steps away and plenty of space to gather, move, relax, or simply disappear into a hammock with a good book.

  • Private access to Playa Pelada with a path leading directly from the property to the beach and beautiful sunset views.

  • Your own private retreat property, so our group can settle in, spread out, and enjoy the space without sharing it with other hotel guests.

  • Individual private villas, each with air conditioning, a private bathroom, patio space, Wi-Fi, and daily cleaning.

  • A beautiful main pool with a sun shelf, in-water seating, waterfall, and plenty of room to cool off and linger.

  • A second pool and lounge area near the beach path for even more places to relax.

  • A dedicated yoga shala where we'll gather for movement, meditation, and other retreat practices.

  • A tropical poolside rancho with a kitchen, bar, dining area, pool table, and relaxed gathering spaces for meals and downtime.

  • Space for connection and solitude, with little corners throughout the property where you can read, nap, journal, chat with another woman, or simply listen to the sounds of Costa Rica.

  • Optional spa and massage rooms right on the property, so you don't have to leave paradise to be pampered.

  • 24-hour on-site security and a gated property, giving you another layer of comfort while you're here.

  • Nature everywhere, from the tropical landscaping around the villas to the sounds and wildlife that make Nosara feel wonderfully different from everyday life.

Maybe you come home feeling lighter. Maybe you see yourself differently. Maybe you remember that your life isn't meant to be a constant list of responsibilities, and that making space for yourself isn't selfish. Whatever this week opens up for you, you'll return home with new memories, new tools, a renewed perspective, and a little more room for the woman you are becoming.

  • Prioritizing yourself without feeling guilty about it.

  • Moving through your days with more calm and intention, rather than constantly running from one thing to the next.

  • Feeling more at home in your body, with a kinder relationship to yourself and less pressure to look or be a certain way.

  • Carrying simple practices home that help you reconnect, ground yourself, and create moments of peace when life gets busy again.

  • Seeing your life from a fresh perspective, with more clarity about what you want to keep, what you're ready to release, and what you want to make room for.

  • Remembering how to play, laugh, explore, be curious, and do things simply because they feel good.

  • Feeling more connected to other women, knowing you aren't the only one navigating change, loss, identity, or a new season of life.

  • Giving yourself permission to want more from life, whether that's more adventure, more rest, more connection, more joy, or simply more time to be yourself.

  • Returning home with something that lasts beyond the retreat: not just photographs and memories, but practices, perspective, and the reminder that you can create space for yourself wherever you are.

What Sets These Retreats Apart

01 / A nervous system–first approach to being in your body

These retreats are grounded in gentle, somatic practices that support nervous system regulation rather than performance or pushing. Movement is slow, optional, and responsive. Stillness is welcome. Rest is respected.

The intention is not to stretch, fix, or achieve anything, but to help you feel safe enough in your body to listen again. From that place, clarity, softness, and insight arise naturally, without force.

02 / Presence over productivity

There is no rush to “make the most of your time” here.

The rhythm of the retreat is intentionally spacious, allowing you to arrive fully in each moment, whether that’s sharing a meal, sitting quietly, walking, or simply doing nothing at all. Phones fade into the background. Attention comes back into the body, the senses, and the experience of being where you are.

This kind of presence is subtle, but powerful. It’s what many people don’t realize they’ve been missing until they feel it again.

03 / Experience the local culture

Every retreat includes an immersive experience rooted in the local culture. Whether through movement, tradition, art, food, or shared experience, you’ll have an opportunity to step beyond simply observing a place and experience it from within.

These moments invite you to slow down, engage your senses, try something new, and connect more deeply with the culture and people around you. You don’t just visit a place. You participate in it.

  • After you pay your deposit, I will reach out with the contract for you to sign, usually within 24 hours.

    We will then set up your payment plan or you can pay in full and receive a $100 discount.

  • You fly into LIR (Liberia, Costa Rica) airport.

    *Ground transport to the retreat center is included as well as the return transport.

    You may also choose to add another short flight to NOS (Nosara airport).

    *We will help arrange transportation from NOS to the retreat center. Both the additional flight and ground transportation would be your cost.

  • Nope! USD are accepted in Costa Rica as well as credit and debit cards.

  • Yes! You will need a current passport to travel into Costa Rica.

    Most counties require expiration of passport at least 6 months out.

    No vaccinations are required though you may choose to do so. You can look at the CDC recommendations here.

  • Yes. Alcohol is allowed, but this is a wellness retreat, so drinking isn’t a focus or part of the planned retreat experience. Many guests choose not to drink, and we ask that anyone who does drink do so responsibly and respectfully of the group.

  • My goal is to create a retreat environment where everyone feels safe, respected, and comfortable. Guests are expected to treat one another, our hosts, and local partners with kindness and respect.

    I reserve the right to ask a guest to leave the retreat, without a refund, if their behavior is disruptive, threatening, abusive, discriminatory, excessively intoxicated, or otherwise compromises the safety, well-being, or experience of the group. In serious situations, this may happen immediately.
