Samasati Yoga and Wellness Retreat

Want to get even deeper into the wildlife of this fab part of the world? As well as the outings organised by the resort, you may like to take hikes in the Cahuita National Park (20 minutes’ drive) or guarantee yourself some sightings of the local beasties at Gandoca Manzanillo National Wildlife Refuge (25 minutes) or Santuario de Perezosos wildlife sanctuary (half an hour). Or perhaps you’d like to expand your horizons with a bit of underwater exploration? If so head down to Playa Chiquita or Playa Cocles (both 20 minutes) – both of these beaches are splendid places for a swim or a bit of snorkelling… or just chilling out on a proper palm-fringed Caribbean beach. For a glimpse of local life (the human variety), take a 20-minute stroll down to the local town Hone Creek or drive for five minutes or so to Talamanca Family Art centre to check out traditional crafts.
