Mindful Mornings at Los Altos de Eros: A Day in the Life of Peace
Forget the dreamy, airy notions of wellness retreats found in glossy brochures. Waking up at Los Altos de Eros, high in the hills above Tamarindo, Costa Rica, you can actually feel the difference. You feel alive. This isn’t just a hotel; it’s where your body and mind finally sync up. We’re talking real jungle sounds, the scent of fresh flowers hitting you, and the feeling that you’ve finally landed exactly where you need to be. This adult-only wellness retreat is designed to get you grounded, from the moment you open your eyes.
Rise and Shine, the Costa Rican Way
Sunrise here isn’t just a pretty view, it’s an alarm clock. As the sky lights up with insane shades of pink and gold, your day kicks off with sunrise yoga.
Close your eyes.
Imagine this: you’re in an open-air pavilion, overlooking the jungle canopy, the air fresh, and the world waking up around you. You’re not just stretching; you’re shedding the baggage from yesterday, getting ready to really feel the day. Each inhale creates space in your body to invite in new experiences, and every exhale an intentional release.This is how you start strong, connected, and ready for whatever Costa Rica throws your way.
Breakfast That Hits Different
After you’ve set your intentions and left anything that doesn’t serve you back on your yoga mat, it’s time for breakfast. And trust us, this isn’t your average spread. We’re talking about fruit so fresh it tastes like it was picked minutes ago. Papaya so sweet it’s almost unbelievable, passionfruit that pops with flavor, and pineapple so juicy it’ll make you wonder what you’ve been eating all your life. The kitchen here is all about local ingredients, turning out dishes that are packed with both flavor and goodness. T a k e y o u r t i m e… Here, slowing down isn’t a luxury; it’s a lifestyle.
Finding Your Zen, Your Way
Ready for a truly unique experience? Head to the Bali net: a floating daybed, hanging over the forest; your very own private sky hammock. Here, you will find space for quiet moments, whether you’re meditating, listening to the breeze, or putting thoughts to paper. You’ll find yourself. A profound sense of peace. A simple presence that humbles us in the vastness of the world and the magnificence of nature.
Next, step into the infrared sauna. Unlike traditional saunas, infrared heat gently penetrates deep into your muscles and joints, melting away your tension like butter on a hot summer day. This soothing embrace helps boost circulation, flush out toxins, ease chronic pain, and leave your skin glowing like a sunrise after rain. It’s not just a sweat session, it’s a quiet ritual of renewal, a warm whisper inviting you to slow down and simply be.
Maybe you’re feeling extra daring? Hop into an icy cold plunge, immediately following your infrared session. The shock is electric, a symphony of goosebumps, a kiss from winter herself. This contrast boosts blood flow, sending fresh oxygen and nutrients dancing through your body, flushing out metabolic waste and calming inflammation. It will also trigger a dopamine surge and wave of endorphins, leaving you feeling clear-headed, euphoric, and ready to tackle anything. This dance between invigoration and calmness is a playful nudge to embrace life’s little extremes.
The Spa: Pure Indulgence, No Apologies
Then, it’s spa time, the crown jewel of Los Altos de Eros. This isn’t just a massage; it’s an experience. Los Altos de Eros has a reputation, and for good reason. They’ve got everything from deep-tissue massages to hydrating facials and even volcanic mud wraps that literally make you feel more connected to the earth. Every treatment is designed around what you need, and the therapists treat you like you’re family coming home. Each open-air treatment rooms over looks the jungle canopy, allowing nature’s famous soundtrack to lull you into your relaxed state.
Unwind by the Infinity Pool
Post-spa, it’s all about the infinity pool. Float on your back, staring up at the endless blue sky. Grab a rich, locally brewed coffee, or maybe a sparkling cocktail. This is where time just… disappears. This is where you lose track of time in the best way. The pool isn’t just a place to swim; it’s a stage for your private love affair with life. You might even spot a vibrant butterfly or a curious monkey. Nature is always present here, a constant reminder that you’re part of something bigger.
Your Schedule, Your Rules
At Los Altos de Eros, mindfulness isn’t about rigid rules. It’s about savoring every moment and letting your day unfold naturally. Want to explore Tamarindo’s beaches tomorrow? Go for it. Take a cooking class? Absolutely. Or maybe you just want to do absolutely nothing but relax. That’s the beauty of it. You choose your own adventure.
This sn’t just a luxury escape; it’s a real invitation to slow down and truly live. Whether you’re a woman looking for a peaceful solo escape or a couple needing to reconnect, this place offers the kind of mindful mornings that stick with you long after you’ve left.
