Nosara, on the Nicoya Peninsula in Guanacaste. We stay at Casas Kismet Yoga Resort, about 2.5 to 3 hours from the Liberia airport (LIR).

Fly into Liberia (LIR). It is much closer to Nosara than San José. From Liberia the drive is about 2.5 to 3 hours depending on roads and weather. From San José (SJO) it is closer to 4.5 to 5 hours.

Aim to land in Liberia between about 10:45am and 3:30pm on the first day. That lines up with our group shuttles. Check-in at Casas Kismet starts at 3:30pm, and the retreat opens around 6:00pm with a welcome, dinner at 6:30pm and the first yoga class around 7:30pm.

Look for a departing flight between 11:00am and 5:00pm on the last day. The final morning starts with yoga at 6:00am, a light breakfast at 6:30am and a full breakfast at 7:00am, and checkout is by 10:00am. Shuttles leave about five hours before the earliest flight in your group, so a 1:00pm flight means an 8:00am shuttle.

The easiest way is one of our shared shuttles. They are optional and cost $60 each way including taxes. We schedule them around everyone’s flights. Just tell us your flight details on your travel form and we will put you on the right one about a week before the retreat. You can also take a short Sansa flight from Liberia to Nosara (usually mid-afternoon) or arrange your own ride, and we are happy to share drivers we trust. More in our guide to getting to Nosara.

We can still help. If your shuttle ends up with fewer than five people because of an early or late flight, there is an extra charge, up to $180 for one person traveling alone. Many guests avoid that by flying in the day before and staying at an airport hotel, and we will pick you up there.

These are the hotels our guests use most, and our shuttles pick up and drop off at the first three at no extra charge:

• Hilton Garden Inn Liberia Airport, across the street from the airport
• Hampton Inn Liberia Airport, also across the street
• Hotel Santa Ana, the most economical option near the airport (a short taxi ride)
• The Mangrove Hotel in Papagayo, about 20 minutes away on the beach, a favorite for a treat after the retreat (an extra shuttle fee applies to drop off there)

The airport hotels are convenient, not scenic, so they are best for one night.

Yes. Lagarta Lodge is right down the street from Casas Kismet, the Living Hotel is a small boutique favorite, and the Gilded Iguana is close to the surf breaks. If you would like more time in Costa Rica, our family rental home, Casa Colorado, is in Tamarindo.

Yes. All of our classes are all-level. Mornings are active and evenings are restorative, and you are welcome wherever your practice is today.

• 7:30am morning yoga
• 9:00am breakfast
• 10:00am open time for the beach, the spa or a massage
• 1:00pm lunch
• 2:00pm open time for a beach walk, the spa or a rest

This is a sample day, and the schedule can shift a little during the week. One night is your free night out in town. The beach is an 8 to 10 minute walk away. Here is a full day at our Nosara yoga retreat, morning to night.

It is an 8 to 10 minute walk, and you can go anytime. Twice during the week we also offer a shuttle, including one to the farmers market at the beach.

Absolutely. Solo travelers are always welcome, and by the end of the week strangers have a way of becoming friends. Here is more on going solo to a yoga retreat in Costa Rica.

Yes. Tell us on your guest form and the Casas Kismet kitchen will adjust the menu for you.

Yes. Five Parks Yoga is a Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider, and each retreat earns 45 CE hours.

No. We help everyone book adventures, activities and massages on the first morning of the retreat.

• Yoga clothes, plus light clothing for 75 to 85 degree days
• A light layer for cool evenings and a rain jacket
• Swimsuit, sandals and walking shoes
• Bug spray (mornings and sunsets especially)
• A headlamp and a good water bottle
• Your passport, with at least 90 days left before it expires

Casas Kismet provides mats, props and all towels, so your own mat is optional. Costa Rica uses the same plugs as the US. Here is our fuller packing list for a yoga retreat in Costa Rica.

Yes, bring some US dollars. Massages, adventure tours, local taxis and staff tips are paid in cash, and the nearest ATM is not within walking distance. US dollars and colones are both accepted, so there is no need to exchange money. Tours usually run $60 to $130 and in-room massages about $100 to $150.

Tips are always optional. Guests usually leave $75 to $100 in cash for the Casas Kismet staff at checkout, about $5 for a shuttle driver, and about $5 for a tour guide or massage therapist.

It is not required, but we recommend it. Guests have been glad to have it when a flight was delayed or plans changed. Buy it soon after booking: it is usually cheaper then, and “cancel for any reason” coverage is often only offered in the first week or two.
