COSTA RICA — The Retreat Costa Rica, a luxury wellness boutique resort and spa, has been voted as Condé Nast Traveller #9 Best Destination Spa in the World in the U.K. magazine’s 2023 Readers’ Choice Awards. The Retreat Costa Rica was also honored by the Spa & Wellness MexiCaribe 2023 Awards — recognizing the best spas and wellness resorts in Mexico, the Caribbean and Latin America.
In its 26th year survey, more than 500,000 Condé Nast readers submitted responses rating their travel experiences across the globe to provide destination travelers with information about the best-in-the-world hotels, resorts, spas, cities, countries, islands, trains, airlines, airports, cruises and more. The Retreat Costa Rica is a five-star property that earned a score of 94.17 from Condé Nast Traveller readers who traveled to the lush tropical resort for its luxurious guest suites, outstanding organic home-grown meal program and most especially for its wellness packages, customized treatments, Vida Mia Healing Center, yoga experiences and proximity to exciting excursions and activities.
The Spa & Wellness MexiCaribe 2023 Award recognition cited The Retreat’s Vida Mia Healing Center & Spa as the winner for its ayurveda program. When visitors first arrive at The Retreat, they fill out an intake form and receive a personalized consultation with the in-house ayurvedic doctor who works with her staff to design a customized program that reshapes the body, calms the mind, ignites the soul connection and boosts happiness.
“We are honored to be recognized as a top “Destinations Spa Resort” by Condé Nast readers and the award from Spa & Wellness MexiCaribe appreciating the excellence of our ayurveda program,” said owner of The Retreat Costa Rica, Diana Stobo, who is the brainchild, celebrity chef, bestselling author and health and wellness coach of this idyllic resort and spa.
She adds, “We are especially known as a destination where travelers come to our transformational wellness center to escape the chaos and stress of everyday life to reset their internal sense of balance in a nurturing, breathtakingly beautiful and gentle, nourishing environment.”
Perched on a quartz mountain, The Retreat Costa Rica is anchored by the 8,000-square-foot Vida Mia Healing Center and Spa with its signature wellness programs, organic gardens, lush landscapes, farm-fresh cuisine and scenic poolside relaxation — all situated amidst 60 acres of rainforest overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Other resort highlights include 18 luxurious guest rooms and newly developed loft accommodations, two farm-to-table organic restaurants, an organic coffee plantation, two saltwater pools, a yoga studio, meditation deck, organic gardens, river swings, jungle and river paths and a sweeping view of the Gulf of Nicoya.
