A place for your guests and you to relax, contemplate and enjoy. Soma Retreat Center is an intentionally designed sanctuary where modern comfort meets the simplicity of nature. Surrounded by lush flora that welcomes hummingbirds, butterflies, and songbirds, it is a peaceful oasis for those seeking to reenergize, reconnect and renew.
Host Your Retreat at Soma Retreat Center
Soma Retreat Center is harmonically designed to support restoration, reflection, and recalibration. Cradled by the vibrant Costa Rican jungle and only a mile from the turquoise shores of San Juanillo Beach, Soma offers a haven where the sounds of the earth and the rhythm of the ocean guide you home to yourself.
At Soma, each breath, each moment, and each gathering is an offering—to presence, to connection, to the beauty of being alive.
We host only one group at a time, allowing your retreat to unfold in privacy and peace. The land here holds a gentle energy—alive, grounding, and deeply nourishing—inviting you and your community to slow down, breathe deeply, and remember your natural rhythm.
