2024 & 2025 RETREATS - WE ARE SCHEDULING RETREATS NOW ! KEEP WATCHING FOR MORE INFO
OUR SUGGESTIONS TO MINIMIZE OR ELIMINATE YOUR TRAVEL STRESS!
We are located approximately 4.5 hours south of the San Jose Airport on the southern pacific coast of Costa Rica.
Retreat Guests:
Plan to arrive by noon the first day of the retreat so you have time to board the complementary private shuttle. If the flights from your local airport can not accommodate this, plan to fly in the day before and stay the night in San Jose. If you need a suggestion for a good hotel, send us an email at info@mangotreevillasandretreats.yoga.
We provide a return complementary private shuttle the day before your departing flight home. We will reserve you a complementary hotel room in San Jose the night before your departure.
The government of Costa Rica has no current requirements relating to Covid19. But we would like to recommend purchasing trip insurance when you book your flight. Should the unfortunate occur, this insurance will help pay for any costs incurred.

Catherine, UK
- Mango Tree Villas is an oasis of calm in the Tres Rio Jungle. The property is beautifully landscaped to show all the tropical plants and flowers. The villas are incredibly well maintained, comfortable, clean, and very high quality towels and beds. Brian & Gail have extensive experience as hosts and it shows in their flexibility and willingness to solve any issues. We loved the range and quality of excursions our group attended and the guides which gave us the perfect introduction to this beautiful country.
Sue,
Mango Tree Villas is the most wonderful retreat, set in a beautiful , peaceful location. The separate villas look out through the trees and the countryside beyond. All of our needs were cared for. Gail & Brian are the most generous, warm hosts sharing their knowledge of the area. All in all, a wonderful stay and a very special place. We couldn't have asked for more.

MTVR is a remarkable haven of beauty and tranquility - wildlife and bizarre and beautiful plants within arms length of our lovely villa. Gail & Brian are equally remarkable for their kindness, enthusiasm, and generosity. At every turn they anticipated what could give us pleasure and made sure that they provided all the resources we needed to make a memorable experience happen again and again. Meals were constantly wonderful - beautifully planned and presented.

There is a wonderful atmosphere at MTVR with its nature rich setting combined with Gail & Brian & staff's attentive hosting. Delicious fresh vegetarian food, a yoga studio with beautifully crafted wooden floor and ceiling as well as a spectacular view of toucans and sunsets watching. Thank you for a memorable 8 night stay.

Brian & Gail were great hosts. The facilities were great, lovely villas very clean and well maintained. We had beautiful views of the jungle and waking up to the birds song. The villas are thoughtfully laid out and had good equipment lovely details in the villas like the essential old spray.

Brian and Gail were fabulous hosts - they sowed us the local area and arranged wonderful trips for our group. Accommodations were comfortable and spotlessly clean. We loved practicing yoga on the beautiful yoga deck from which we could see toucans in the morning and sunsets at night. Brian delivered as a bar tender with different cocktails every night! Thank you both so much for a truly memorable week in Costa Rica
