It's about creating one that helps you feel well every day.

Our Story

Del Alma means "from the soul."

To us, it means living in a way that honors your body, your mind and the life you want to create. Del Alma was born from our own journey of discovering that lasting health isn't built through extremes or quick fixes. It's built through the simple things we do consistently. Movement. Real food. Time in nature. Rest. Connection. We created Del Alma to give people the opportunity to experience what happens when these elements come together in one place. Not to escape everyday life, but to rediscover what feeling well truly feels like—and to return home with habits that can become part of everyday life. Because the goal isn't simply to have a great week in Costa Rica. It's to leave with a healthier way of living that stays with you long after the retreat ends.

Founded With Intention

Created from Experience

Del Alma Retreat was born from a simple belief: The best way to change your life isn't by reading about wellness. It's by experiencing what it feels like when your body is given what it truly needs. Movement that strengthens you. Food that nourishes you. Nature that grounds you. Rest that restores you.

For more than 16 years, we've lived these practices ourselves—not as a program, but as a way of life. Del Alma was created to share that experience with others. Not through rigid schedules or quick fixes, but by creating an environment where you can experience what it feels like to move better, eat better, recover better, and reconnect with yourself. Because once your body remembers what feeling well is like, everything changes. Our goal isn't for your healthiest week to happen in Costa Rica. It's for what you experience here to become part of the life you return to.

The Del Alma Method

Wellness isn't one activity. It is how everything works together.

Move

Move in ways that build strength, mobility and confidence—not just fitness.

Nourish

Eat simple, anti-inflammatory meals that help your body feel energized and supported.

Recover

Give your nervous system the time and space it needs to restore through rest, breathwork and sleep.

Nature

Reconnect with the natural rhythms of the ocean, sunlight and the outdoors, allowing your body and mind to slow down and recover.

Sustain

Leave with habits that fit real life, so the changes you experience here continue long after you return home.

The Del Alma Method is not something you experience for one week. It is a philosophy of living designed to create meaningful, lasting change.
