Historically the meeting place of tribes for thousands of years, it is a sacred union point - the perfect place to connect with others and go deep inside of yourself to discover what you have been seeking. Not to mention the abundance of diverse, exotic wildlife and lush untouched nature - it really is your Wildest Dreams!
We will be located on the west side of the country in the Puntarenas province here.

Your VIP Journey To The Retreat
All of your transport to and from the retreat is taken care of - all you have to worry about is booking your flights in and out of SJO (the main airport of Costa Rica in the capital, San José). Your VIP experience starts as soon as you check in there on 3rd January 2025.
What To Expect When You Arrive:
After checking in at SJO Domestic Terminal, you will meet your host, Sanya, and the rest of the retreat group in the departure lounge.
You’ll be guided onto our own private charter plane - the most environmentally friendly way to transport our guests all together.
Soon, you’ll be soaring over mountains, jungle and ocean with breathtaking views to die for!
A short 20 minutes later (which could have been a five hour drive!), you’ll step off the plane to be handed a refreshing juice.
Don’t worry about picking up your luggage - the team will deliver it straight from the plane to your room.
From here, it’s an easy 30 minutes in the car with our private drivers to the retreat property.
As you arrive at the venue, you’ll be greeted by the friendly team with cold towels, infused with Imiloa’s soothing signature scent.
The team will also offer you a freshly prepared mocktail, along with a selection of beautiful, delicious vegan treats to snack on.
After a welcome tour around the property, it’s time to settle into your room and prepare to start your journey towards bliss.
Past Retreat Reviews
“Sanya is super friendly and creates a safe space for you to just let go, be yourself and truly relax. I walked away feeling refreshed, inspired and ready to take on the world! If I had to describe the experience in one word, it would be magic. Book it. You won’t regret it.”
“I struggle to find the right words to do justice to the all-round wonder of Sanya's retreats. I have been on several since I discovered them and will go on as many as I can in the future! Sanya's yoga classes are simply perfect. Carefully and creatively curated for all levels, she instinctively brings the right balance of challenge, fun, and variation to every individual in every class, accompanied by epic music.”
“I booked this, my first ever yoga retreat - I was a little anxious to be fair, but wow!! What an experience. From the moment we arrived, everyone was so welcoming, yoga suitable for all levels, incredible food, top tunes, gorgeous accommodation and new friendships formed. Will definitely be booking again. If you’re on the fence, do it, you won’t regret it!!”
“Just coming back down to earth after my second Dreamy Retreat with Sanya. I didn't think the first could be topped, and then I went on the second. The amount of love, care and attention she puts into her retreats is immeasurable. Everything is conscious and considered from the locations, the local providers we use, the food we consume and the practices we follow. What this does is draw like minded people from across the globe together, and this is where the sprinkling of magic happens.”
“This retreat was perfect as a solo traveller, I met the most gorgeous group of lovely, like minded people, many who have become friends and I’ll stay in touch with. If you’re thinking about doing a Dreamy Retreat, all I can say is JUST DO IT.”
“I am a complete beginner at yoga and the classes were brilliant and I felt included and encouraged. The location was beautiful and felt very magical. Sanya is an awesome instructor and host and made us all feel so welcome and took care of everything. The food was delicious and healthy and the massage I had was out of this world. I went with friends but would have felt just as comfortable going on my own.”
“Sanya creates the most beautiful space for everyone to feel like we can just be ourselves and be completely open. Sanya brings the most welcoming and amazing energy which really transfers to the group from the moment you arrive at the most gorgeous villa! The yoga is brilliant, it’s clear that Sanya puts a lot of time and effort into creating her wonderful yoga sequences and I loved the links between the morning dynamic vinyasa flow and the evening restorative yin sessions.”
“If I had 1,000 words, I could never truly do this retreat and Sanya the justice she and it so rightly deserves. From the deepest part of my soul, I can’t tell you how magical this experience was. From the spectacular accommodation, to the glorious food in its abundance… but what Sanya gave me, in all honestly, was a little piece of myself back & for that, and that alone, I would follow Sanya to the ends of the Earth.”
“Having benefited from several Dreamy Retreats, my main observation is the powerful sense of community that develops naturally as you move through the week and Sanya takes you through the chakras. The option to start the day with pranayama, meditation and journaling brings an opportunity for self reflection and a chance to identify exactly what it is you need from the retreat process. If you’re considering a Dreamy Retreat, do not hesitate - magic happens in this space.”
