Dragonfly Beach Retreat is an Oasis - a place to reconnect with nature, with the ocean and with yourself.
Here, the vibrant life of the southern Caribbean thrives, creating an atmosphere of pure harmony.
Nestled within tropical gardens, our adults-only retreat offers intimate, artfully designed villas—each a masterpiece of craftsmanship with high ceilings and handcrafted furniture, custom art murals, fully equipped kitchens, and individual terraces.
Let the sounds of the jungle and the ocean guide you into a world where time slows, beauty surrounds you, and every moment is a celebration of serenity.
A Sanctuary of Well-Being
Daily Yoga, Holistic Therapies, and the Healing Power of Nature.
Dragonfly Beach Retreat is a sanctuary where your body finds rest and your mind finds peace. Here, wellness unfolds naturally, inviting you to slow down and breathe deeply.
Daily yoga is available in our open-air shala directly in front of the beach and surrounded by the jungle.
We also offer holistic therapies designed to restore balance and harmony—reiki, sound healing, therapeutic massages, forest bathing, and more! Let yourself be held by nature and carried into a state of serenity.

Your Home Away From Home

Wake up to the distant call of howler monkeys as the morning sun filters through the forest. As you sip your morning coffee, a brilliant blue morpho butterfly flutters by, pausing on your table as if to greet you.
From the intricate wall art in your villa to the handcrafted furniture made with love, creativity is woven into the very essence of this place.
Stroll down to the beach under the golden sun, or take a short walk to the Punta Uva River, where you can kayak or paddleboard through waters, spotting turtles, iguanas, sloths, and playful monkeys along the way.
In the evenings, experience the best food in Costa Rica. The flavors of Caribbean cuisine awaken your senses—fresh seafood, coconut-infused dishes, and the warmth of local spices. While you’ll feel fully immersed in nature, convenience is always within reach—a small store with essentials is located across the street. Charming restaurants, and local spots are just steps away from our retreat.
Here, the rainforest becomes your home, the ocean your playground, and the wildlife your daily companions. At Dragonfly Beach Retreat, every moment is an invitation to experience something extraordinary.

Our Story
Why We Chose the Caribbean
and Why We Call It Home!
At Dragonfly Beach Retreat, we didn’t just build a retreat—we found a place that spoke to us, a place where nature, culture, and community intertwine in the most beautiful way.
The Caribbean coast of Costa Rica is unlike anywhere else. It’s a place where the rainforest touches the sea, where howler monkeys greet the sunrise, and where the rhythm of life flows with the waves. Here, we discovered a place that has true authenticity, creativity and connection, a place where time slows down and nature takes the center stage.
We chose this southern Caribbean paradise not just for its breathtaking beauty but for its spirit—a blend of Afro-Caribbean and Indigenous cultures, vibrant music, bold flavors, and an unshakable appreciation for the simple joys of life. From the welcoming local community to the untouched natural landscapes, everything about this place makes you feel alive.
Dragonfly Beach Retreat was born from the desire to share this experience—to create a space where people can unwind, explore, and reconnect with nature without sacrificing comfort. Our villas and open-air spaces are designed to blend seamlessly with the jungle, allowing our guests to feel fully immersed in the environment while enjoying thoughtful hospitality.
This isn’t just a retreat; it’s our home, and we can’t wait to share it with you.
