At Life’s Crossroads – A Time to Explore Your Self, Let Go, and Be Free -
When you are ready to open the window to your Soul and let your Spirit fly, it’s time for a personal retreat, self-guided or supported–the Caribbean way. Right in front of Puerto Viejo’s black sand beach, Chimuri Beach retreats are intimate and personal–a beautiful experience for both solo and couples or close friends. For the adventurous spirit who wishes to retrieve and awaken to who you really are.
Healing, Yoga and Transformation – Recovery, Renewal, and New Beginnings -
Chimuri Beach Retreat offers an intimate setting for a sacred union with your authentic Being. Your hostess Kiana, is Chimuri’s personal retreat connection to Talamanca’s Pura Vida (pure life) and a select group of sacred healers. Born in Austria, Kiana settled here 30 years ago, and now offers the Healing Light of Johrei and a compassionate heart to all who come. Yoga instructions, offered regularly in the newly added gazebo, complement your inner journey.
The tropical environment of Costa Rica’s southern Caribbean coast, intense with lush vegetation so rich in colors, aromas and magical sounds, is an ideal place for personal transformation because ‘things’ won’t keep very long in this climate with its strong decomposing (and at the same time fertile) qualities, practically almost obligating one to let go of any attachments
Nature Walks and Exciting Adventures – Personalized Walks and Tours
A personal retreat–the Caribbean way–often includes a personally guided walk in our own private reserve with Mauricio, Chimuri’s widely respected nature guide. Discover close-up the jungle birds and animals, taste the rich variety of tropical fruits, and learn the traditional plant medicines through his native Bribri ways. Then connect with Maythemi, another member of Chimuri’s family, to choose unique tours and sacred journeys to Costa Rica’s jungle preserves, cloud forests and volcanoes.
Reggae & Calypso Rhythms and Artistic Aliveness – Sing, Dance, Be Alive and Inspired
Beautiful beaches, the lush rainforest, the unique Talamancan heritage, and local artists and musicians offer a blend of the best of the south Caribbean coast of Costa Rica. The intriguing cultural history of the area and our creativity combine with a fertile aliveness to inspire us and expand awareness and appreciation of each precious moment and our creative spirit starts to flow easily into expression in this environment.

Solitude, Self Discovery, and Awakening – Inner Journeys to the Silence of the Heart
A personal spiritual retreat–the Caribbean way–is much more than a vacation. A trip to the Caribbean coast becomes an inner journey of discovery and awakening to the Divine Spirit within. In communion with the sounds of waves and tropical birds, enjoying the healing power of the sun and the rain, immersed in lush vegetation and inner silence, your Caribbean personal retreat at Chimuri Beach continues long after you leave this quiet paradise.


“We are the transformers of Earth
our whole being,
and the flights and falls of our Love
enable us to undertake this task.”
-Rainer Maria Rilke
