"Anamaya is a sacred place that strengthens the mind and body. Over the course of a week's retreat, Anamaya works its magic by providing healthy, delicious food, yoga, breath work, lovely rooms (with the best balconies overlooking the ocean) and artistic attention to detail throughout the resort. The jewels are the yoga retreat leaders and Anamaya's staff."

TESTIMONIALS
"Best retreat centre in Costa Rica! This is one of the most magical places on the planet. The views are second to none with a 270-degree panoramic look at miles of jungle and ocean. The food is healthy, fresh, and delicious. The staff are so personable that they will instantly welcome you as their family. Definitely come and visit Anamaya. You won't regret it."
"I could go back again and again! Anamaya is a perfect getaway for everyone, especially solo travellers who want to enjoy the good things in life: rest, recover, and make new friends. I left feeling like I got more than what I paid for. Such an incredible experience, and I'm definitely coming back."
Testimonial: "Amazing Yoga and Surf Retreat..."
"My friends and I just returned from a week long yoga retreat at Anamaya and I have had a difficult time finding words to describe how amazing the entire trip was!!! Not only did our retreat to Anamaya allow us to escape the stresses our daily lives (if only for a few days), but the memories with the new friends we made, the staff at Anamaya and the people of Costa Rica will remain with me forever.... The food was unbelievably fresh and good, and I have missed putting coconut milk in my coffee ever since! Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!"a
Testimonial: "Anamaya has a piece of my heart. I can't wait to return to heaven on earth!"
"Upon arrival, we were immediately greeted by one of the gracious owners and the beautiful ocean, glimmering all around us. The view from the saltwater infinity pool or the yoga deck under a full moon will forever be burned in my memory... the private lodging gave us an intimate view of the sunrise over the water each morning and an equally magnificent sunset from our porch's hammock. I WILL be back and I highly suggest making Anamaya a must-do on your travel itinerary!"
Testimonial: "Breathtaking Views - Gourmet Food! - Great Staff..."
"More than just a vacation... the views are breathtaking, the food was the delicious, healthy & fresh. Seriously the best food I've ever tasted in my life... you can get whatever you're seeking from this amazing retreat....whether its complete bliss or adventure."
Testimonial: "Breathtaking Views - Gourmet Food! - Great Staff..."
"I have diet restrictions (gluten free) and the team of chefs completely took care of me - truly gluten free gourmet!!! When we were making plans to go to Costa Rica and found Anamaya we thought we might eat out a couple of nights in Montezuma. Well, after the first dinner at Anamaya we knew we didn't want to eat anywhere else. Every evening we looked forward to dinner."
Testimonial: "Stunning..."
"I feel so healthy and well taken care of after my stay at Anamaya. I wish I never had to leave! Amazing, healthy food - great rooms, great company with other guests and lots of activity. It's really a perfect getaway for the active and health conscious!"
Testimonial: "Treasure in Paradise..."
"My stay at Anamaya was the most refreshing vacation of my life... I awoke each morning for an hour of yoga on the most beautiful yoga deck with a panoramic view of the jungle and the Pacific. The rest of my days were filled with a swim in the infinity pool, zip lining, waterfall climbing, aerial silks, Zumba and surfing... the pictures do not do it justice. You cannot smell or feel the amazing vibe it has. I have booked a return trip to Anamaya in a few months. So fortunate to have stumbled upon this treasure in paradise."
Testimonial: "One of the Most Amazing Experiences of my Life..."
"I had the honor of staying at Anamaya and teaching and taking yoga for a seven day retreat. It is one of the most peaceful and tranquil places on earth. The facilities are beautiful and the view is breath-taking. Doing yoga on the open air deck facing the ocean was a dream come true. The food was excellent and the package included three meals per day with great variety. Everything home made and organic. Delicious. Relaxing by the edgeless pool or on a hammock was my favorite thing... but the best part of the experience was the staff at Anamaya. They were all wonderful and did everything to make my stay excellent..."
