Your home away from the every day.. luxury for the soul

Welcome to Vayu Retreat Villas, a luxury wellness retreat in Costa Rica where you can discover the heart of the Pura Vida lifestyle. Our story began with a deep desire for a healthier, more balanced life. We once lived in the bustling city of Toronto, where the fast-paced lifestyle took a toll on our well-being. Realizing that we needed a change, we made the bold decision to leave behind the hustle and embark on a new adventure in search of tranquility and purpose.

Our journey led us to the serene landscapes of Costa Rica’s Osa Peninsula, a region renowned for its breathtaking natural beauty and rich biodiversity. Here, we discovered the perfect setting to create something special—a luxury boutique hotel that embodies the peace and harmony we were seeking. Vayu Retreat Villas is the realization of our dream to build a sanctuary where guests can reconnect with nature and themselves.

This is what excellence is all about! What an experience! Unforgettable stay in this enchanting place! Everything was perfect. From the modern, spacious room to the meticulous details. Everything is thought out and magnificent. The pool is sumptuous. The restaurant is a marvel of delicate flavors. And what can I say about the owners Rafael and Marc! Always at the service of their guests. We were even treated to a private concert by Rafael. What a delight! We highly recommend this fabulous establishment. A place not to be missed on your visit to Costa Rica.

Our favourite hotel ever. We booked Vayu for a relaxing retreat at the end of our trip around Costa Rica for 4 nights at the beginning of February, to fully relax and take some time for ourselves at the end of our 3 week adventure. This place went so way beyond our already-high expectations and we were blown away with how lucky we were to have found this gorgeous pocket of heaven on the Costa Rican coast. The whole retreat was stunning - from the saltwater pool to the creek that ran alongside the property, to the veranda with swinging chairs and our beautiful room - we couldn’t have asked for anything more. We couldn’t have asked for a more serene and beautiful time and we will be back soon. I recommend this place to absolutely everyone that will listen to me!
