Beach Yoga

Costa Rica is also a great destination for Yoga groups. Our intimate retreat happens to have in house classes at your leisure to open up morning body energy. Casa Melosa Villa is a friendly destination located at Playa Potrero, just steps away from the beach. Join in on a class while staying with us. All refreshments are organic to quench your thirst afterwards.

Weddings

Destination weddings in Costa Rica (especially on Costa Rica’s beaches) are tropical fantasies by definition. All that’s required are bare feet or sandals, flowing sundresses and, of course, armfuls of tropical flowers. Costa Rica destination weddings reach their exotic potential when the cultures themselves are married; your culture as well as Costa Rica’s Wedding Traditions. Wedding traditions in Costa Rica are similar in many ways to those abroad. Friends and family gather to witness the vows, which most often occur in a church. The bride usually wears white and the groom a tuxedo. The bride throws her bouquet to unmarried female guests, and the groom shoots her garter to unmarried male ones. Rice is thrown over their heads as they leave the church for good luck. But Costa Rica has traditions that are unique to its culture. Here’s a sweet one if you let us host your wedding for you. A few days before the wedding, the groom, his friends, and a band show up where your bride is staying; which will be our retreat. A serenade of love songs to her will leave her breathless. Roses are brought into the party! At the reception, there’s dancing, just like in North America. Have it your way in Paradise! Tell us what you want and we will organize it all for you!

Kayaking/Ziplining

Get out on a kayak for a half day (6:30 – 10:30 am). It’s a great way to spend a morning. Take your sunscreen with you, and of course bait and tackle. Tell us when you want to go and we will arrange it for you or zip along forest trails, splash through muddy streams and climb along the coastal cliffs on this adrenaline-fuelled location of Playa Potrero. Quad biking tour from one Beach to another. Venture off-road on a thrilling 2-hour tour and discover the hidden landscapes of the Golden Coast. Follow your guide through the dry forest, looking out for howler monkeys, iguanas and birds along the way, then reach the coast and soak up incredible views over Tamarindo, Conchal, Brasilito, Flamingo and Potrero beaches.
