“OFF THE BEATEN PATH” YOGA RETREAT IN NICARAGUA

Yoga, Surf, and SUP Retreat in San Juan del Sur

Testimonials

Our venue for this retreat is Verdad Costa Dulce, a brand new resort nestled into a tropical dry forest, with breathtaking ocean views of Playa Escameca down below.  Five freestanding cabins with decks overlooking the ocean and two pool rooms linked by beautifully landscaped paths are comfortable, beautifully designed, and will provide you with an amazing night’s sleep after a full day of activity.  All rooms have private ensuite bathrooms, except two of the Paz rooms which share a bath, and WIFI.
