Transformational retreats and group experiences in eco-luxury with plant-based cuisine
HOST A RETREAT
Welcome Home
Imiloa Institute is a home and an experience where human beings are invited to awaken their consciousness.
We are founded on the leadership principle that together, through a spirit of service and a posture of learning, we can cause the individual and social transformation of the planet.
For retreat hosts, transformational leaders and event planners, Imiloa has become known globally for a set and setting that feels more like a national park than an institute. We are located on 22 acres in the Savegre Mountains, just north of Dominical, Costa Rica.
Our team expertly handles everything for hosts from ticketing to touchdown, transformation to takeoff allowing you to focus on clients and curriculum.
For guests, Imiloa is a sanctuary and a refuge. It causes an environment of wonder and discovery. Your experience is complete with delicious conscious comfort food, lush jungle, uninterrupted wildlife, caring team members that feel like family and surreal accommodations that will be the centerpiece of your Imiloa story.
Imiloa pays careful attention to detail in coordination retreat hosts so both seekers and teachers can fully experience the mastery and majesty of Costa Rica.
WORLD CLASS
LUXURY
With almost 100 clients, Imiloa has surprised and delighted first time retreat hosts to veteran clients by providing full “Retreats Specialists” support to your events.
From ticketing to touchdown, transformation to takeoff, Imiloa’s high-end facilities, full nature immersion, gourmet conscious comfort food experience and kind-hearted team walk alongside you planning and executing every intentional detail of the gathering.
Whether you’re hosting a corporate event, transformational workshop, yoga training, painting or medical intuitive retreat, men’s gathering, international mystery school, educational certification or other gathering, Imiloa shows up like no other center on the planet.
Your journey starts with our Client Success and Happiness Team. They walk you through our Discovery Process until you choose to sign a contract to make sure we’re a great fit to be working with each other.
Then, your Client Success Lead coordinates your Celebration call to meet the team. You’ll meet your Project Manager Marketing Team, Retreats Team and Property and Finance team. We’ll ensure messaging and flow is aligned to you and your brand so your participants receive the same high-touch experience.
Then, once you land in Costa Rica, our Client Success and Happiness Team seamlessly transitions you to our Welcome Home Team. The Welcome Home Team ensures every aspect of the ground logistics, creative, food, transport, aesthetics and activities is handled. Their motto is “Yes… and?”
That means anything you, or any participant asks for, we accommodate. Since its founding in 2018, Imiloa has enjoyed 99% 4.9 and 5-Star reviews in our guest surveys and a 77% re-booking rate by those who choose to host with us.

House of Masters: It’s where the world comes to learn. It’s a 250m² Balinese super-structure and classroom, hanging 100 feet in the jungle. It’s equipped for your audio-visual needs. Often used for workshops, yoga, meditation, gatherings and dance parties.
Three salt water pools and spas overlooking the ocean.
Miles of jungle pathways that lead to our very own private waterfall.
The “Heart” of Imiloa: This is at the center of the property. The space is where Chef Pedro dazzles, where groups eat and share time together. The space is a blended design honoring the indigenous of Costa Rica and imported Balinese pieces. “Heart” is 200m² of dining, multi-use, loungy and relaxation space. Perfect for break out sessions, dining, dancing, deepenings, relaxing or individual meditation and rejuvation.
