Discounted Rates

Any group of 8+ people can take advantage of group rates, a 10-15% discount off accommodations pricing. we'll also work with you to create custom packages for your group with discounts on weekly activities, spa services, etc. when prepaying for your group.

Costa Dulce Highlights

Secluded location

Costa dulce is just steps from Playa Escameca, one of the few places left that provides an untouched landscape. You'll often be one of just a few people enjoying this remote beach. Plus there are stunning views from all around the retreat center.

Healthy Farm-to-Table Meals

The Costa Dulce kitchen celebrates fresh, local ingredients — with menus that lovingly support vegan, gluten-free, and most special protocols.

Weekly Activities & Add-on Tours

Weekly activies full of culture and adventure, such as Cacao Meditations, Mezoamerican Temazcal, and trips to San Juan del Sur. Plus lots of add-on tours to explore more of Nicaragua - a favorite being a half-day ocean tour with Alex and the El Tumbo Azul crew

Yoga

Join the regular classes or bring your own teachers and host private classes for your group in 1 of the 3 studios onsite, all with stunning ocean views

Surf

Rent a board and enjoy the surf on your own or join in on a lesson. There are daily waves on Playa Escaemca, but depending on skill level / time of year, surf trips are made to other beaches with waves that are better fits

Holistic Wellness Center

The La Punta Wellness Center offers a full Spa, Sauna, Cold Plunge, Gym and Infinity Pool with stunning ocean views. Utilize these healing services on a daily basis or join one of the weekly activities designed to help you connect on a deeper level.

Ecotourism & Conservation

Watch baby turtles hatch, hike hidden jungle trails, and experience our commitment to eco-living through Nica Naturals handmade products.

The Yoga Shalas

The main shala is located directly above the dining area with a view that’s hard to beat and fits about 27 mats.

The smallest of the 3, the Horizon Studio, offers its own ocean views and maxes at 16 mats but can feel more private with the space a bit more enclosed than the main shala.

The largest shala, and favorite meditation space, is a short walk over to La Punta. It has space for 40-45 mats and is positioned cliffside overlook the ocean and beach.

Each studio is stoked with Manduka Pro Mats – a favorite among teachers – a variety of blocks, straps, and bolsters.

How it Works

Hosting a group can be daunting, so we do our best to make the process as easy as possible.

Step 1: Pick Your Dates & Your Rooms
- January, February, March are the most popular months to host groups, but there really isn’t a bad time to visit.
- May-October may be called “Wet Season” but it can be some of the most beautiful times in Nicaragua, plus flights are less expensive and because it’s a slower season we get to give you extra discounts.
- You must started with a minimum of 4 rooms / 8 people – Don’t worry if yu’re not sure what rooms to start with, we’ll help you pick.
- For groups of 15 or less, the 4 Casa Horizon rooms can be the perfect place to begin – Starting with these rooms more or less blocks of the Horizon space, and while we cannot guarantee no one else will venture over, you’ll largely have this area to your group, with its own pool, kitchen, lounge, and studio.
Step 2: Pay Your Deposit
- A $3000 deposit is required to officially block your dates and rooms
- Your next payment isn’t due until 6 months prior to your arrival date
- Click here to see all Group Pricing, Payment and Cancellation Policies
Step 3: Begin Promoting Your Retreat
- We recommend booking about a year prior to your dates if you can swing it so you have lots of time to engage with your community and create excitement around your offering
- Partnering with another leader or a local studio or other space to co-promote seems to be the most successful groups
- Costa Dulce is happy to provide photos, videos, etc.
- If you are a yoga teacher, check out our trade program for a chance to visit and teach and build your own content loibrary prior to your retreat
Step 4: Finalize Your Schedule
- Work with the team to finalize the details or your schedule
- Decide what you’ll include for your group and what your guests will pay for on their own
- A popular mix for hosts to include is 1 Massage, Jungle Walk, Cacao, Sweat Lodge, and 1 Surf Lesson
Step 5: Collect Guest Information
- As you get people signed up, you’ll begin collecting their info such as Name, Email, Dietary Needs, Flight Details, etc. and dropping this into the planning document we provide to you
- This allows us to do all the logistical planning for you, ensuring everyone has transports, the proper meals, etc.
Step 6: Final Payments & Confirmation of Details
- Your final payment is due 2 weeks prior to arrival. Around this time you’ll also have a final check-in call with our group management team to ensure we’ve got all the transports, schedules, rooms and beds, etc. down correctly.
Step 7: Enjoy Your Travels & Your Stay
- You’ll be added into a group with your group coordinator as well as our main management team onsite so we can all easily communicate during your travels and your stay. There’s always something that comes up when dealing with a group and we’re here to help ensure everything goes as smooth as possible.

Costa Dulce is a magical place. 8 of us were there for a yoga/fitness/surf retreat and we felt like we were part of the community. The food is amazing, the staff are awesome, the accommodations are lovely, comfortable and clean. We were wanting for nothing. Surfing at the beach is for all levels with more advanced break a walk away. I didn’t want to leave and can’t say enough wonderful things about Costa Dulce. The mission and values focus on the local community and giving back is by far one of the strongest and most prevalent I’ve seen.

Costa Dulce is hands down the best retreat center I’ve worked with. I co-hosted a two-week yoga teacher training and simultaneously ran two yoga retreats. Not only did everyone leave with that sort of beach-dream bliss, but we all left with a sense that we were part of the Costa Dulce family.
