Imagine leading your own retreat where the jungle meets the beach… and getting paid to do it.

With our done-for-you retreat program, you can host at Danyasa Eco-Retreat without taking on the financial risk, logistical overwhelm, or endless planning that usually comes with organizing a retreat. We handle the venue coordination, guest payments, backend logistics, and upfront investment so you can stay focused on creating an incredible experience for your community.

You show up, lead, and connect. We handle everything else.

Located in the laid-back surf town of Dominical, Danyasa offers a retreat experience that feels grounded, intimate, and deeply connected to nature. Surrounded by lush tropical greenery and just a short walk from the beach, the property blends the warmth of a boutique wellness space with the relaxed energy Costa Rica is known for.

The open-air yoga shala, saltwater pool, peaceful gardens, and cozy communal spaces create an environment that naturally encourages connection, reflection, and nervous system reset. It’s an especially beautiful fit for yoga, Pilates, mindfulness, women’s wellness, and transformational retreats that prioritize authenticity over excess.

Days can include movement classes, surf lessons, waterfall adventures, beach walks, spa treatments, cacao ceremonies, or simply slow afternoons spent by the pool with fresh smoothies and good conversation. The atmosphere at Danyasa feels welcoming, soulful, and intentionally uncomplicated in the best possible way.

Meals are vibrant, nourishing, and locally inspired, with plenty of fresh produce, tropical flavors, and healthy options that support the retreat experience without feeling restrictive or overly formal.

Evenings bring warm jungle air, candlelit dinners, and the kind of relaxed connection that happens naturally when people feel safe, present, and far away from the pace of everyday life.

As a host, you’ll receive a stipend, profit share bonus, a complimentary retreat stay, and round-trip airfare.

FLOW

At the heart of the experience is the open-air wellness space at Danyasa Eco-Retreat, intentionally designed to support everything from energizing movement practices to slower, more restorative experiences.

Rather than feeling polished or overly formal, the yoga shala feels deeply connected to the surrounding jungle environment, creating a setting that encourages presence, authenticity, and genuine connection. The space works beautifully for both intimate gatherings and full retreat groups, with a relaxed, grounded energy that naturally supports community-building and transformation.

Beyond scheduled sessions, the overall flow of the property encourages guests to move seamlessly between activity and rest. The saltwater pool, tropical gardens, nearby beaches, waterfalls, cafés, and surf culture of Dominical all contribute to an experience that feels immersive, freeing, and refreshingly unhurried.

Your retreat package includes thoughtfully designed accommodations, nourishing daily meals, and an environment that supports both adventure and restoration, giving your group space to reconnect with themselves, each other, and the natural world around them.
