Inspired by the exotic tropical forest overlooking the Caribbean Sea, Samasati is a retreat that offers a total escape. The secluded site, high in the hills, offers the chance to relax, rejuvenate an d enjoy the beauty of luxuriant natural surroundings.
Samasati is truly a one-of-a–kind retreat in Costa Rica. Nestled in 250 acres of virgin forest overlooking the ocean, the retreat is based on high standards of sustainable living, and is the perfect (and romantic!) getaway for nature lovers, adventure fans, yoga practitioners and groups.
The local temperature is a stable 80 degrees ( 28 C) year around. The climate has often been called a "micro-climate", implying that the variable factors affecting this region are independent from the rest of the neighboring areas.

Travel Info: Samasati Nature Retreat is located 130 miles South of San José, the capital of Costa Rica, and 30 miles South of Puerto Limón on the Caribbean coast.
Getting to Samasati is easy and the drive is beautiful. The road is safe, paved, and the sightseeing breathtaking. You will cross the Braulio Carrillo National Park which is the largest virgin protected area in Costa Rica, and the Santa Clara flatlands where most of the country crops are grown. Then the road unwinds along the beach in the middle of coconut groves and sweet water canals.

Samasati Nature Retreat is absolutely amazing! The cabin is perfect, and I felt so safe even though I was staying by myself in the middle of the rain forest. The trails are beautiful and peaceful. I truly felt like I was at one with nature. The staff is by far the friendliest most hospitable people I have ever met. The chefs are beyond talented, and I continue to crave their yummy creations. I never felt more relaxed leaving a yoga class. Zip lining was so much fun. Horseback riding was fabulous. I always wanted to gallop on the beach. Of course, once the horse started to gallop, I became really scared and I wanted to take it easy. Luckily, the trainer didn't give up on me and he kept trying to get me to allow the horse to gallop. After a little while, we were galloping on the beach and it was a moment in life I will never forget. The waterfall was breath taking and swimming under it literally took my breath away. It was so powerful, yet so refreshing. I never saw something so naturally beautiful in all of my life. I, also, went to the Jaguar Rescue Center and I was able to hold a Howler Monkey. He was so adorable. He fell asleep in my arms with his tongue sticking out. That was also a moment in life I will never forget. I can honestly say that my stay at Samasati Nature Retreat was by far the best vacation I have ever had. I am sure I will return. Thank you again for everything!
Best regards

Our stay at Samasati was absolutley wonderful. I booked in to stay with my daughter Diane who had already booked with you. You very graciously upgraded us to a bungalo. It was heaven. I can't imagine a more wonderful place to wake up with the sounds of the rainforest, the birds and even the
loud monkeys. We had glorious weather, we were really lucky. It was slow while we were there and for a couple of days we were almost the only guests...we LOVED it!!! The food was delicious...we still drool over it when we talk about it....can't wait to buy the cook book if it ever comes out. Max, our yoga instructor was fabulous, he was so soothing and yet
challenging at the same time. We had a ton of fun on the canopy tour and the horseback riding was the best I'd ever been on. Galloping down a secluded beach and into the forest, just Diane, myself and a guide....amazing! The staff were so friendly and nice, we loved the girls at the front desk, and the men who drove us up and down the hill every day
couldn't have been sweeter. We have been raving about this holiday to everyone we meet and hope someday to come back. Samasati is indeed a gem in the world.
Sincerely,
