Safe & legal plant medicine and holistic wellness retreats in Costa Rica, held with care, structure, and deep respect.
The Heart of Libélula
Libélula is a rainforest sanctuary in Costa Rica dedicated to healing, connection, and transformation. We blend ancient traditions with modern wellness practices, all set amidst pristine rainforests and waterfalls. Join us on a journey to restore your mind, body, and spirit.
If you’re looking for something genuine, well-held, and thoughtfully guided, then we would love to welcome you to Libélula.
At Libélula, we offer more than retreats - we create a space where people feel safe enough to soften, open, and truly heal.
Held with care, not force - gentle pacing that honours your nervous system and individuality.
Rooted in ancestral wisdom - indigenous knowledge shared with integrity and respect.
Grounded and holistic - ceremony, nature, and integration woven together.
Shaped by the land - a sanctuary held by rainforest, created for deep nourishment.
When you choose Libélula, you choose a journey rooted in respect, sustainability, and genuine care - a place where your healing comes first.
The Libélula Way
Our Offerings
Libélula currently offers two core retreat experiences, each held with care, integrity, and reverence for the land, the medicines, and the individual journey.
Both retreats take place in the Costa Rican rainforest and are guided by ceremony, nature, and intentional rest. The difference is simply how much time you have to land, open, and integrate.
3-Day Retreats
❋
March & July 2026A rite of passage
A focused weekend immersion for those crossing a threshold. Two nights of ceremony held within a clear, well‑supported container — offering insight, release, and a grounded return. Ideal for those seeking depth within a shorter, intentional timeframe.
8-Day Retreats
❋
March, July & August 2026A full immersion
A spacious eight‑day immersion for those ready to slow down fully. Extended time on the land allows ceremony, rest, and integration to unfold naturally — supporting deep, embodied, and lasting change.
The Sanctuary

The Sanctuary 𑁍
Libélula is designed to feel simple, beautiful, and alive.
Everything here has been created with intention - spaces for ceremony and movement, for rest and integration, for nourishment and connection with the land. Each element supports the journey in its own way.
The maloca is the heart of Libélula.
A grounded, open space for ceremony, song, sharing, and circles - where we gather to listen, release, and remember. Built with respect for tradition and the land, it is a place of safety, reverence, and deep presence.
Our yoga shala is a light‑filled space for movement, breath, and stillness.
With views of both sunrise and sunset, it holds morning practices, evening sound baths, and gentle moments of reconnection, guided by the rhythm of the land.
Spa & Wellness
Deep restoration you can feel in your body.
Massage, fascia work, red light therapy, bioresonance, sauna, cold plunge, rose quartz bathtub, limpia flower baths, and a natural swimming pool - a collection of practices designed to help you soften, settle, and return to yourself.
Set deep in the mountains and surrounded by primary rainforest, Libélula feels far removed from the pace of modern life. Rivers, waterfalls, and abundant wildlife shape a landscape that invites grounding, presence, and reconnection.
Accommodation
Stay comfortably in harmony with nature.
Luxury meets rustic in our cabins, built from locally sourced natural materials.
Shared or private options are available, each designed for comfort, deep rest, and a sense of ease - a place to truly switch off and sleep well.
Food
Nourishment from the land
Our cuisine is rooted in biodynamic, organic farming - the majority of it is grown with love on our own land in harmony with the moon’s cycles. Every meal is nourishing, vibrant, and crafted to support your healing journey. Prepared with love, intention, and respect for the body.
Reciprocity
Reciprocity is woven into Libélula. We actively support local communities, Indigenous families, and women through ongoing charity initiatives - honouring ancestral wisdom, sustaining traditions, and creating opportunities for growth and healing.
