The Retreat Costa Rica – a luxury wellness boutique resort perched on a high vibrational crystal mountain in Atenas – has unveiled the new 7,500-square-foot Vida Mia Healing Center and Spaadjacent to the resort’s main house. Adding to its comprehensive wellness services, the property also announced the addition of Dr. Vinod Balakrishnan, a naturopath, acupuncturist and Ayurvedic expert formerly with Taj Hotels, to its professional staff.
The brainchild of celebrity chef, bestselling author and health and wellness life coach Diana Stobo, The Retreat Costa Rica is a luxury wellness boutique resort and spa with organic gardens, lush landscapes, farm-fresh cuisine and signature wellness programs – all situated amidst the rainforest on a 50-acre crystal quartz mountain overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
Stobo says the spa embraces the metaphysical powers of the four elements – earth, water, air and fire – to offer innovative and organic therapeutic treatments to connect, nurture, protect and balance the mind and body. Each guest’s wellness program is tailored to his or her specific needs to help detox, rejuvenate and distress.
With seven treatment rooms – each named for indigenous healing crystals – Vida Mia was carefully designed with ancient Feng Shui principles, balancing energies throughout the construction of the building to optimize health, wealth, charisma, love, sex and luck. With this in mind, each light-filled treatment room is open air or has expansive windows, allowing guests to connect with the lush natural surroundings.
In addition to the treatment rooms, the spa’s upper level has changing rooms, an air-conditioned fitness facility, a covered Jacuzzi and cold-water cascade, plus an outdoor covered resting den.
