Hidden Recommendations & Local Tips — Anamaya Resort

Anamaya Resort feels like one of Costa Rica’s most iconic yoga and wellness destinations — combining breathtaking ocean views, transformational retreats, yoga, adventure, healing, and conscious community all in one unforgettable location. Perched high above the jungle in Montezuma, the resort overlooks the Pacific Ocean with panoramic views that many guests say are some of the most beautiful in Costa Rica. ✨

A hidden tip most people don’t know: Anamaya is famous not only for yoga retreats, but also for hosting an incredible variety of transformational experiences. Throughout the year, the resort attracts wellness travelers, yoga teachers, spiritual leaders, entrepreneurs, creatives, healers, coaches, and people seeking personal growth from around the world.

One of the most special things about Anamaya:
• world-class ocean-view yoga shala
• yoga teacher trainings
• transformational wellness retreats
• infinity pool overlooking the Pacific
• healthy gourmet meals
• holistic healing experiences
• breathwork and meditation
• conscious community atmosphere
• stunning jungle and ocean scenery

Another hidden recommendation: don’t spend all your time inside the retreat. Montezuma is one of Costa Rica’s most magical wellness towns, filled with waterfalls, hidden beaches, jungle trails, artists, healers, and conscious travelers. Exploring the area becomes part of the overall experience itself.

Anamaya is especially loved for:
• yoga teacher training programs
• luxury wellness retreats
• personal growth workshops
• transformational coaching retreats
• spiritual development experiences
• surf and adventure opportunities nearby
• healthy lifestyle immersion
• community connection and networking

One thing guests constantly mention:
the VIEW. Many travelers say practicing yoga while overlooking endless jungle and ocean creates a feeling that is difficult to describe until experienced in person. ✨

Don’t skip the slow moments:
• sunrise meditation overlooking the Pacific
• journaling after yoga classes
• healthy breakfasts with ocean views
• watching tropical storms roll across the coastline
• sunset reflection from the infinity pool
• listening to jungle sounds at night

Costa Rica adventures nearby:
• Montezuma Waterfalls
• hidden beach exploration
• surfing nearby beaches
• snorkeling and island tours
• horseback riding through jungle trails
• wildlife spotting with monkeys and tropical birds
• ziplining through rainforest canopy

Helpful tips most travelers don’t know:
• Montezuma feels much more bohemian and artistic than many resort towns
• roads can be adventurous, especially during rainy season
• lightweight breathable clothing works best in tropical weather
• many guests arrive solo and quickly make strong friendships
• yoga teacher trainings can feel deeply transformational emotionally
• sunsets here become one of the highlights of the entire trip

Things to do:
• wake up before sunrise at least once
• visit Montezuma Waterfalls during your stay
• spend time journaling after classes or workshops
• stay open to meeting people from around the world
• explore both the jungle and ocean sides of Montezuma
• fully embrace the slower “Pura Vida” lifestyle

Things not to do:
• over-schedule every hour with excursions
• underestimate the emotional growth that retreats can bring
• rush through meals, conversations, or mindfulness practices
• stay glued to your phone during the retreat
• expect party-focused resort energy
