Practice Areas & Yoga Props
The jungle platform immerses the group in the rainforest, surrounded by 100-foot high trees and the sounds, sites, and smells of the jungle. The ocean view deck overlooks the Pacific coast with expansive views of the iconic Whale’s Tail and unparalleled sunsets. The retreat provides Liforme mats, blocks, blankets, straps, and bolsters.
The Hotel, Restaurant & Grounds
We are surrounded by primary and secondary rain forest and have incredible ocean views from nearly every part of the property. The property offers nearly 20 acres of jungle walking trails for guests to enjoy, including a path to an exclusive waterfall. You will also be able to enjoy our gardens, which include over 100 fruit trees that provide fruits for our fresh juices, smoothies, and cuisine. The main building features a restaurant and bar and a large infinity pool with waterfall jacuzzi and swim up bar. The restaurant offers gourmet, locally sourced, tropical fusion cuisine and specializes in vegan and vegetarian dishes (we also serve amazing meat and fish!). Massage and spa services are offered in the privacy of your villa, or in the “Tree Of Life” jungle spa. Complimentary, reliable, high speed internet is available in both the villas and restaurant area.
