7 Days of Flavor, Adventure & Pure Costa Rican Magic
What if you could have it all — the satisfaction of your favorite comfort foods, the joy of indulgent desserts, and the glow of truly nourishing meals — without feeling like you’re giving anything up?
Welcome to your 7-day escape in the heart of Costa Rica, where we’ll show you exactly how to create that perfect balance. With the guidance of your private local chef & your host, you’ll learn how to turn everyday, wholesome ingredients into crave-worthy meals that actually satisfy your cravings while fueling your body from the inside out.
Forget the idea that healthy eating means restriction.
Here, you’ll discover how to:
✨ Transform comfort classics into healthier, mouthwatering versions
✨ Make guilt-free desserts by swapping just a few simple ingredients
✨ Use spices and seasonings to elevate basic meals into irresistible dishes
✨ Incorporate plant-powered proteins to feel full, energized, and satisfied
The magic happens when you realize: you don’t have to choose between feeling good and loving your food — you can have both. By the end of this retreat, you’ll not only feel inspired, you’ll feel empowered to create balanced, vibrant meals at home that light you up from the inside out.
Surrounded by tropical beauty, sunsets, and soulful community vibes, you’ll reconnect with your body, your joy, and your love of food — all while creating memories (and recipes!) to last a lifetime.
Because real wellness isn’t about perfection — it’s about balance, and it’s delicious.
