A note on flights:
Costa Dulce staff recommend booking your flight about 3-6 months prior to your trip to get the best rate. If you are flying from Montana our flights are a bit more tricky and you may need to stay a night in another city due to a long layover. My advice is to find a friend and make an adventure out of it! On the plus side, traveling this way, allows you to arrive into Nicaragua in the day time, which can be really nice when traveling to somewhere new.

Retreat Testimonials
"Val is the loveliest retreat leader. I would follow her anywhere! She creates a warm and welcoming environment. Our weekend had the perfect balance of yoga, nature, education, fun, structure, rest, and special treats. The music was AMAZING, from the perfectly curated playlists to the sound bath to the live musician. Val clearly thought through every detail with love and intention. I left feeling grounded and renewed with a new clarity about my life. I look forward to joining Val on another retreat as soon as I can!"- Farrar
