Retreat Locations on Costa Rica’s Caribbean Coast

Fern Olivia’s retreats, Breathwork trainings, and immersive experiences take place in and around Punta Uva and Playa Chiquita, two of the most beautiful and peaceful areas on Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast.

Our primary home is Dragonfly Beach Retreat in Punta Uva, where many of Fern Olivia’s private retreats and Embodied Voice Breathwork® trainings are held. Selected experiences may also take place at Siren Sanctuary in Playa Chiquita, while Pranamor couples retreats are hosted in private Bali-style villas designed for intimacy, comfort, and time together.

These jungle-by-the-sea sanctuaries are home to our 1:1 private retreats, couples retreats, and breathwork trainings, thoughtfully designed to support nervous system regulation, authentic expression, and meaningful reconnection.

Each space has its own feeling, but all are chosen for the same reasons: privacy, beauty, connection to nature, and the sense of spaciousness that allows the experience to unfold naturally.

Whether you’re seeking a private retreat, a sacred couples immersion, or a transformational breathwork training, these retreat center locations invite you to slow down, soften into presence, and reconnect with what truly matters, held by nature, guided with care, and supported every step of the way.

Dragonfly Retreat Center

Punta Uva, Costa Rica

Dragonfly Beach Retreat is the primary home for Fern Olivia’s private retreats and Embodied Voice Breathwork® trainings on Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast.

Tucked into lush tropical gardens near Punta Uva, Dragonfly offers the intimacy of a small retreat center with enough space to rest, practice, and settle into the slower rhythm of life here.

Private casitas are surrounded by greenery, and the property includes peaceful spaces for yoga, Breathwork, meditation, massage, sound, and private sessions. The beach is close by, making it easy to move between deeper retreat work, ocean time, nature, and rest.

Because the setting is small and personal, it never feels like a large retreat resort. It feels more like a sanctuary where each guest has her own space while still being gently held within the rhythm of the experience.

Best for: Pure Bliss retreats, private immersions, and Embodied Voice Breathwork® trainings.
