For travelers and wellness seekers in need of a quiet retreat amidst an unbelievably rare biodiversity of nature, Río Perdido in Guanacaste, Costa Rica, invites guests to experience their philosophy of passive wellness, which has defined the property for decades. Passive wellness, much like the emerging travel trend of conscious deceleration, has emerged as health-conscious consumers are struggling to keep up with fast-paced and demanding approaches to fitness and wellbeing. This more restorative, gentler approach allows travelers to create space to rediscover the healthiest versions of themselves, rather than exhausting and depleting themselves with a rigorous workout schedule and limiting nutrition plans.

Tucked away in the vibrantly lush and biodiverse Guanacaste Province of western Costa Rica, one of the lesser known and most unspoiled destinations in the country, Río Perdido beckons sustainably-minded wellness seekers and adventure travelers to discover a deeply healing forest hideaway with private forest bungalows, natural healing thermal springs, cliffside yoga pods, and locally-sourced cuisine supported by the on-site organic garden and honest agricultural practices. Just in time for summer and fall wellness travel, the property has also recently announced the addition of eight new environmentally conscious forest bungalows now open for booking for stays beginning August 1, 2024.

Perfect for solo travelers looking to unplug, Río Perdido introduces the passive wellness approach by helping guests live optimally, without having to put enormous effort into a healthy lifestyle, through a harmonious balance with the surrounding nature and within themselves. The guest experience is designed in such a way that mindful travelers have space to listen to their bodies, tune into their intuition, and live in flow with the natural and spiritual rhythms of the thermal canyon preserve.
