Please verify the retreat dates before booking to ensure you select the correct option, as we have multiple dates. For assistance, contact hello@paratiwellness.com.

Yes, I would recommend having some cash on you, especially if you decide to venture on your own and for shopping at the market. We will have lots of opportunities to explore! Both US Dollars (USD) and Costa Rican Colones (CRC) are widely accepted.

Most places near the retreat centre accept USD, so you won’t need to exchange large amounts, but it’s handy to have some colones for local markets or tips.

Your retreat package includes:

• 3 chef-prepared, farm-to-table meals daily (plus snacks, coffee, and tea)

• All scheduled excursions (waterfalls, horseback riding, chocolate farm tour, cacao ceremony, blue clay ritual, ecstatic dance, farewell party)

• Daily yoga, meditation, sound baths, and self-love workshops

• Round-trip airport transfers (SJO)

• Full use of Synergy Center’s saltwater pool, cold plunges, yoga shala, and grounds

• 20-minute self-love photo session with Sarina Rose (included)

Not included:

• Airfare (you’ll book your own flights to San José, Costa Rica)

• Travel insurance (required for all participants)

• Alcoholic beverages

• Tips and gratuities

• Optional add-ons like Sarina’s Boudoir Waterfall Adventure or private 1:1 sound healing sessions

Yes, you will receive private transportation to and from the airport unless you decide to arrive or depart outside of the retreat dates.

All transportation for excursions are provided.

es, you’ll need a valid passport to enter Costa Rica. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your travel dates.

For most travellers, a tourist visa is not required for stays under 90 days (including travellers from Canada, the U.S., and most European countries).

Always check your country’s entry requirements before booking.

We’ll be staying at the Synergy Center, a private luxury retreat centre tucked into the lush jungle near Costa Rica’s southern coast. The property offers:

• Spacious jungle-view suites (private or shared) with ensuite bathrooms

• A saltwater pool, two cold plunges, and a jungle-view yoga shala

• Farm-to-table meals prepared by an on-site chef

• Peaceful grounds surrounded by nature, just a short drive from Uvita’s beaches and waterfalls

It’s not a traditional hotel — Synergy is a dedicated retreat space, meaning the entire property is ours for the week to relax, reset, and connect.

No — you get to choose what feels best for you.

We offer both shared suites (spacious rooms with a private bath, perfect for friends or solo travellers open to a roommate) and private, luxurious suites (Queen or King rooms with private baths, balconies, and jungle or ocean views).

If you’d prefer your own space, simply book a private suite — there are limited spots, so early booking is recommended.

Here’s everything you’ll need for your 7-day, 6-night retreat:

• Beachwear: Swimsuits, cover-ups, and a quick-dry towel or sarong (Synergy provides towels, but extras can be handy).

• Sandals & Footwear: Flip-flops or slides for the pool, and comfortable walking shoes or hiking sandals for excursions.

• Sunglasses: UV protection is a must for the Costa Rican sun.

• Medications: Bring any prescriptions and over-the-counter remedies you might need, including motion sickness meds if you’re sensitive during excursions.

• Skincare: Reef-safe sunscreen (SPF 30+), after-sun lotion, moisturizer, SPF lip balm, and aloe vera gel.

• Passport: Must be valid for at least 6 months past your travel dates.

• Light Layers: A light sweater or wrap for cooler jungle evenings or breezy mornings.

• Yoga & Activewear: Comfortable outfits for daily yoga, workshops, and movement.

• Casual Clothing: Tank tops, shorts, lightweight pants, and breathable layers for daytime activities.

• Sundresses: Easy, flowy dresses for evenings and our Royal Blue Farewell Party (wear something blue).

• Boudoir & Photo Sessions: Any outfits or lingerie you’d like for your included photo session (or optional Boudoir Waterfall Adventure).

• Currency: US Dollars (USD) are widely accepted, but bringing some Costa Rican Colones (CRC) is useful for markets and tips. Most places take credit cards.

• Extras: A book or journal for quiet time, a reusable water bottle, insect repellent, and a daypack for excursions.

Tip: The Synergy Center is a private, clothing-optional retreat space — so bring what feels right for you, knowing there’s zero expectation either way.

Costa Rica is in Central Standard Time (CST) and does not observe Daylight Savings Time.

Yes, all participants will need to have a valid travel insurance before leaving their country of residence and send proof of insurance to hello@paratiwellness.com

This is a requirement for my commercial liability insurance.

I personally use Costco Manulife Travel Insurance and made several claims with them. They are affordable and great to work with.

Your personal insurance coverage
