Slow Down.
Look Closer. Go Wild.
Slow & Wild is a five-night, six-day retreat where relaxation and adventure belong together.
Based at Sanctuary @ Puerto Viejo, just 100 metres from Playa Cocles, the retreat gives you space to enjoy slow mornings, tropical breakfasts, yoga, beach time, pool time, spa treatments and guided rainforest adventures.
Look closely and you may encounter sloths, monkeys and tropical birds. Explore the rainforest by day and after dark, enjoy Caribbean dinners and spend your evenings beneath the stars.
Rest without guilt.
Adventure when it calls.
Rest Without Guilt.
Adventure When It Calls.
The sloth is the inspiration behind this retreat: move slowly when possible, enjoy your surroundings, and give yourself permission to rest.
Your days are intentionally not packed. Start with yoga and breakfast, then choose your own rhythm — spend time at the beach or pool, relax in the gardens, enjoy the spa, or join a guided rainforest adventure.
Yoga, tropical breakfast and time to ease into the day.
Explore nature and look for sloths, monkeys and tropical birds.
Beach, pool, gardens, spa time and quiet moments at your own pace.
Discover the rainforest at night and experience the sounds of the Caribbean jungle.
