Anamaya Resort And Yoga

The beauty, sounds , smells, tastes, and inner peace I experienced during our week there have sustained me through these crazy times of COVID. The service and commitment to excellence was the icing on the cake to the resort itself. Every morning, waking up to the sounds of the jungle, the incredible sunrises, the joy and bliss of it all....caused endorphin rushes of pure gratitude. The kinds of people that do a retreat such as this were truly amazing as well. Lovely people from all over the world. As we went through our week, we grew closer as friends. We got to tour see each cabin close up. Whichever you choose , you will feel like this is the happiest place on earth. If you leave the resort at all, make sure you swim in the waterfall. We waited til our last day...Do not miss this experience. The peaceful yoga every morning and evening perfected this experience. If you are reading this, you must go one day :)

My stay and Anamaya Resort was excellent. The resort was beautiful, and the staff and food were amazing. My jungle cabina was perfect, I loved being surrounded by lush vegitation and wildlife. The yoga, activities, and spa treatments were also amazing. I have nothing but great things to say about Anamaya, and I will definitely be going back.

This was such a special experience. It far exceeded my expectataions. The yoga guides Kelly and Ted exude love and passion throughout their every contribution and then some. The treatments, Lomi Lomi four hands and Ashiatsu massage, are the best I've ever experienced. Don't miss the cacao ceremony and chakra workshops! And sunset at the beach was very special. Can't wait to visit Anamaya again! Pura Vida.

My stay at Anamaya was an incredible experience. The venue, the food, the staff, the instructors, and the community it attracts- wow. The setting itself is beautiful- overlooking the ocean. The infinity saltwater pool is very peaceful. The staff was lovely and very helpful with any questions. The food was fresh and incredible. I looked forward to every meal (and snack) in the schedule. The teachers were so supportive and skilled at building community. It was such a pleasure to spend a week with wonderful humans, looking for a little rejuvenation. No shortage of things to do or see in the area, either! I left feeling both rejuvenated and energized in mind, body, and spirit. I would definitely go back!

This trip exceeded my expectations. The yoga was awesome, the hiking was a perfect way to start every day, the surfing was so much fun, and the food was delicious and healthy. It was hard to leave this beautiful place.

Not sure whether it was the beautiful surroundings, yoga twice-daily, the gourmet gluten free meals direct from the farm, or the wonderful staff and friends - but I felt better than I have in many years. What an amazing experience. I would definitely go back!

Anamaya is amazing. The property is very beautiful. Staff is very friendly, well organized and helpful. It’s everywhere very clean. The rooms are wonderful and the view from the two yoga decks is amazing. The yoga teacher was excellent. You can do several other activities or just hanging out at the pool or at the nice beaches in Montezuma. They offer 3 times a day meals with organic food which was really good. I enjoyed my stay very much but it would be great if more than 10 Yoga classes would be offered a week (e.g Friday night/Saturday morning).

this is a magical place. It is hard to put into words what your experience here is... the people, the plants, the yoga decks, the birds, the ocean, the butterflies, the yogis, the bugs, the food, did I mention the food, the local town, the waves, ....magic and life changing.

Anamaya in person was even more beautiful then the pictures! The staff is amazing, friendly and very helpful. The food was incredible - so fresh and tasty and they cater to dietary restrictions. We were able to visit the farm where most of the food came from, Rancho Delicioso. We did a workshop and yoga with Crisitane and she was wonderful. She is positive, passionate and creative in all she does. She really made us feel comfortable - we truly enjoyed our time with her. I can't wait for my next trip to Anamaya!! Thank you for a restful, fun and amazing week!

My week at and Anamaya is almost indescribable! Upon arrival, the staff was smiling, warm, and extremely friendly in helping us get settled. We had the most amazing and absolutely delicious meals from Rancho Deliscioso with vegan options, and all sustainably produced at their farm. They staff was also very astute in helping prepare meals for us that have dietary restrictions . The best homemade coconut and oat milks I’ve ever tasted! Cristiane was absolutely amazing! You felt all the time, energy, compassion, love, and creativity that she put forth in preparing for all of our yoga activities. We also learned a great deal about infinite possibilities and how our mindset can create the future that we really want! I am sincerely changed by this experience and look forward to many more retreats at Anamaya In the future. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to go deep inside and change their lives! The staff was so supportive of all of us during our entire week!

Rarely do websites and reviews and photos live up to what I experience places - but Anamaya was a rare exception. I had a wonderful, restful retreat, with some amazing human beings - both on the staff and as guests. Colynn Vosburgh, our yoga instructor, was somehow perfect for what I needed and the yin fusion yoga, meditations, and workshops we had available to us ensuring we were able to work physically, emotionally, and mentally on centering ourselves. I stayed in Gaia house with four women I'd never met, but the norms and surroundings of Anamaya made us friends by the end. I can't recommend this place enough. And the food? Out of this world!

If there were more stars I would have give them! Abbé Ciulla Is an amazing person and great Yoga teacher. She really cares about you and makes her yoga classes a life changing event. Already looking forward to next year, will definitely join her retreat again.

I had no idea when I stepped onto the gorgeous grounds at Anamaya that I would walk away from this experience feeling transformed and like there was a shift in me mentally and physically. The place itself it absolutely 5 stars, the food was unbelievable and the staff was outstanding. I felt 100% safe without any outside visitors allowed on site. The yoga teachers they draw are world class and the community of friends you make there is really something I didn't expect but was a big part of the experience. I will be back!

I came for the yoga experience, thought the classes were great and the food healthy and inspired. Would l=not stay in the Jungle room again as there is no ocean view. The walk to the waterfall is easy and lovely. The cool water in the pools is a delight

We had the Ananda Room. It was like being in a movie. Every morning we awoke to the beautiful sunrise. Banyan Gallagher the yoga instructor was amazing, intelligent, gentle, helpful, mindful and funny. The chef Jeff was creative and prepared the most delicious meals. The entire staff was there to help and make our stay perfect.

I booked my first yoga retreat at Anamaya. It was wonderful. Everything is well organised, staff really really nice and available. The quality of the instructor really good as well (yoga and surf). I have also discovered fantastic food. The chef is really talented. Costa Rica is an amazing country. I recommend + +

I will be always grateful with Anamaya, the people that works here is amazing, kind, always there to help and serve with a Smile I did the 21 Yoga Teacher Training with Peter kaaberbøl and it was just Incredible. Since the day one I’ve been learning from him each and every day. Always in a good mood, always knowing what to teach and when. You definitely want to meet him here in Anamaya you will NEVER EVER regret. Every class is sooooooo GOOD! Don’t think about it just let him guide you to the pure, organic life. Food it’s another amazing thing that Anamaya has. Chef Jeff and his healthy, Organic food is Always surprisingly and super mega delicious. No matter if you are having breakfast or Dinner. 5 meals of the day are just outstanding. Anamaya will be ALWAYS in my heart. This place needs to be known for everyone that want a positive change of Life.

We were greeted warmly and offered fresh coconut milk upon arrival. We were made very comfortable from the beginning. Yoga spaces are awe-inspiring, the treehouse is a beautiful space to spend a week!

Can't say enough about how special the Anamaya Resort is. The atmosphere is super friendly, casual and relaxing which I appreciate because we (husband, adult daughter and her friend) were not looking for a stuffy hotel type of service/environment. Gorgeous setting, lovely and clean accommodations with great views, genuine staff, excellent spa treatment selection and service, great yoga classes twice a day (Banyan Gallagher....but the teachers vary from week to week) and loved the camaraderie built over the week with fellow visitors (15 guests total the week we were there). A highlight was the tour of their organic farm where all their delicious food comes from and the beach trip with all the guests and staff (surfing for those that wanted it). Will come again!

It's hard to put into words how magical Anamaya is. Doing yoga while overlooking the jungle and ocean and listening to the sounds of the jungle is something truly unique. Aside from this the food was amazing, each meal was better than the last. I felt so good by the end of the week. Also, the staff is amazingggg. I immediately felt like I was part of the family and that I was cared for, which was very important for me because I was traveling alone. I stayed in the casita which was lovely. The outdoor shower is amazing. I would definitely recommend the massages, they were unreal. Last but not least my yoga instructor Cristiane Machado!! She is such a wonderful human being who helped me leave Costa Rica with a new sense of self. She made this experience into more than just a yoga retreat with her wisdom and guidance about being your true self and living up to your potential. When I go back I will make sure it is with Cristiane! All in all, most wonderful experience with no complaints. Life changing. Thank you Thank you!

I stayed here with my friend and I must say that I had an epic experience. Came here to Montezuma to surf and also have a great time. The food was absolutely delicious and the place is full of local animals and also it is in a very untouched state. The room where we stayed had a great view of the ocean and we were waken up every morning by the monkeys. The staff is also extremely friendly and very helpful. 10/10 place. 100% recommended.

A lot has been said about this amazing place. Wonderful connection with nature, amazing food, warm people... you name it! The only thing I want to add is that Watsu with Ana is a must do. When you arrive you’ll meet the staff and you will be introduced to the list of activities available. I would strongly recommend you go for watsu and that you book early if you can. This is because it is done in a natural pool by the sea and if it’s rainy you will have to reschedule. So the sooner you book, the more chances that you will be able to do it before you leave the place.

The photos do it no justice. Everywhere you look is just beyond beautiful. Doing yoga on the yoga deck hearing howler monkeys, looking out at the ocean and the mountains was something I'll never forget. We stayed in the Bali Cabina and that has by far been the absolute most amazing place I've ever stayed. The outdoor bathroom with an ocean view (and a giant bath tub) was so awesome. The pool is so great and the food was super amazing! We even went fishing and chef Jeff made a variety of stuff with the fish we caught for everyone to share. It was great! They had salsa dancing and a cooking class too amongst other things. We did a few day long tours though and it was all great. The staff set those up for us and handled everything. Laura was incredibly helpful and so sweet. I cant say enough good things about our stay. I came here after 4 years of traumatic life changing experiences and this was everything I needed to reset and take a breath and move forward. So magical. You really make a lot of new friends and I loved us all sitting by the pool at night sharing wine and stories. Downtown montezuma is super close so we walked down and the breweries, beach, and bars are a lot of fun. Just a really great spot.

Where to begin?! Anamaya is truly a magical place - the resort is beautiful and the connection you make with the staff and people at the retreat is really like family. I am impressed with how quickly the staff remembered our names considering retreats are held there regularly. The staff is also very communicative from the first e-mail I sent to them up until I arrived. Everything was organized, thorough, and seamless! THE FOOD! Wow. Every meal I had was amazing and is locally sourced at their nearby farm. Go Chef Jeff & his team! Can I hire them to cook for me everyday?? Even though it was raining the first few days, it really taught us to slow down and really enjoy the simple moments. I ended up getting two massages, one of which was the LOMI LOMI (with the hot oil massage). It is a MUST. And I also got a tarot reading from Diane. Highly recommend, it gave me chills. I loved my yoga teacher, Marcela Nunez!! She is THE BEST. She is so thoughtful and detailed with her practice, really thinking about how one poses flow into another. She is also very attentive to our bodies and alignment. I'm not sure if I'll ever find a teacher quite like her as she set the standards so high now. Everything was perfect except for one minor thing. I have to point this out. The mosquitoes! I am all for natural insect repellent but they are immune! Make sure to bring some heavy duty mosquito repellent. One of my friends used picardin and she didn't get bitten like the rest of us (we were ravaged). If you're looking for nightlife nearby, hit up Chico's. If you have more time, there are many restaurants and bars in Santa Teresa! So fun. Overall, I highly recommend this resort to anyone! Everyone! It is a life changing experience and I will cherish it forever!

Great atmosphere and interior design. Service here is excellent, proactive, and sincere. Food quality is nice as well. Special thanks to Shweta nikhil avnish ND Aman, they took very good care of us. We had a great time!: )

This was a trip of lifetime. Accomodations are fantastic. We had group of 5 girls and stayed and Gia. Lots of room, great bed, open showers, AC and great service. Food was amazing. Morning with sunrise and evening with sunset - yoga with Selena was a dream. At night you can hear howling monkeys in the forest, during day you see iguanas and birds. Flowers blooming everywhere. Pacific ocean warm and beaches full of shells. Staff will accommodate any of your wishes and chef Jeff knows his cooking. If you are looking for night life just walk to town.If you want to relax this is the place to be. Oh I almost forgot. Massage is a must - Lumi Lumi was my fave.

Anamaya is a magical place! Everything from the staff to the food to the rooms is top notch! The staff really becomes like family to you! They take the time to get to know you and they really care about your time there. The rooms are beautiful and kept so clean! The food is unlike anything I have ever had and all comes from a farm. When it came to traveling, the staff was a life savor! They booked my flight for the Sansa airline and called us taxis when we we needed them! Everything was unreal and absolutely amazing.

This resort is spectacular, breathtaking and there is a beautiful energy quality there, that is difficult to put into words... I can't express how grateful I am to have been able to have the experience I had, an Anamaya... The people that run the resort truly become like family and they stop at nothing to make sure your experience is unforgettable. I have travelled all over the world and I have to say that Anamaya is my favourite place, and I can't wait to go back. If you go, you need to try the reiki with Diane and the Lomi Lomi massage. I would recommend this resort to anyone, you will not be disappointed!

All I can say is WOW! excellent service, clean rooms and a life changing experience. I was hesitate to go on a yoga retreat but after my experience at Anamaya I am forever grateful I took the chance. The combination of yoga, meditation, clean eating and fun activities was perfect. Bring sun screen it gets hot in Costa Rica.

Where to begin......I was physically unable to stop smiling for the first two days while I processed how amazing and beautiful this intimate resort was. What I would give to start every single day by waking up to sunrise and the sounds of nature, eating fresh fruit, and doing yoga on the most beautiful sundeck ever created overlooking the ocean and jungle. The schedule is the perfect balance of yoga, rest, relaxation, and activities. The staff is extremely charming, attentive, and helpful. The warmth and comfort they provide makes it feel like you've known them for years. Every meal I would say this is the best meal I have ever had, just mind boggling. Chef Jeff slays and the farm is also very cool. The ultimate kicker was the Lomi Lomi Four Handed massage, a must do here. One of the craziest experiences of my life. Anamaya is heaven on earth.
