A Sanctuary In Paradise
Costa Rica has long been a hub for wellness retreats due to its pristine nature, healthy tropical cuisine, and concentration of yogis, therapists and healers. Punta Islita itself is located on the Nicoya Peninsula, one of the 5 blue zones in the world. This beautiful town provides visitors with a unique blend of laid black lifestyle, perfect ocean waves, and international culture focused on health and wellness. This area is also home to a very important section of Costa Rica’s cultural and natural heritage. With a significant number of protected areas including water, land, mountain and coastal ecosystems that are teeming with life, discovery looms around every corner.
Punta Islita, specifically, offers unique cultural and heritage activities, tours and more that immerse you in the local culture and landscapes. Many regard this as a gateway to authentic Costa Rican charm and an icon of evolution and conservation. The tourist activities that take place in this natural destination are protected under an ecotourism model, which seeks to maximize local participation and conservation of natural resources. It has been awarded the Ecological Blue Flag due to its conservation, protection and high standards of environmental protection. Costa Rica is also continuing to attract new economic infrastructures to support the development of the travel and tourism industry - making it easier for flexible work, visas and investment all with a conscious approach to social and environmental led projects.
