The Retreat Costa Rica (Atenas), an award-winning wellness boutique resort and spa nestled in the lush mountains outside San José, will celebrate its 10-year anniversary with a weeklong series of complimentary events from April 27 through May 2, 2026, hosted by founder Diana Stobo. Designed as an intimate and meaningful gathering, the celebration invites guests to reconnect through nature, nourishment, and community, the core principles that have defined the property since its founding in 2016.

The addition further enhances the resort’s holistic offerings with a focus on social wellness, shared, intentional experiences and connection to people and nature that help restore balance and support true wellbeing.
