About This Retreat
The Nicoya Peninsula of Costa Rica is one of only five Blue Zones on Earth—regions where people routinely live to 100 and beyond. This transformative retreat at the luxurious Andaz resort brings you face-to-face with the lifestyle practices that create exceptional longevity. Through hands-on cooking classes, you'll master the traditional recipes that fuel centenarians. Daily movement sessions embrace the natural, low-intensity exercise that characterises Blue Zone living. Purpose workshops help you discover your 'plan de vida'—a clear sense of why you wake up in the morning. Cultural activities connect you with local communities who've preserved these traditions for generations. This isn't just a retreat; it's a blueprint for living longer and better.
