The LVCR Experience: Reduce Your Stress
Taking a vacation necessitates stepping away from your everyday routine, whether that’s escaping a brutal heat or shoveling snow, laboring at work or laboring over meals, running meetings or running the carpool. Everyday life can feel monotonous and stressful.
Vacation, and travel in general, provides a forced break from your routine. This break is a great way to reduce stress. In fact, one study found that just three days of vacation led to travelers feeling less anxious, more rested, and in better moods. Even better, these benefits lasted long after returning home.
So, if you’re looking to reduce stress while on vacation, go hard on the relaxation, wellness, and pampering – whether it’s zero meal prep or daily spa treatments. Think purposeful walks on the beach, ocean-view yoga sessions, and other relaxing indulgences. Here’s what we mean…
Costa Rica Spiritual Retreat: Plan to Decompress
Far be it from us to put any expectations on your time.
Part of the beauty of escaping with Luxury Villas of Costa Rica is that we’re happy to help you plan everything from a formal retreat, scheduled to the hour, or step back and help you do nothing at all, courtesy of daily breakfast preparations, laundry service, private chefs, poolside cocktail/mocktail service, and in-house spa treatments, yoga, and anything else you desire.
That said, if you have expectations for your time here and with us, we’ll make it happen. So, yes, we encourage you to make a plan to decompress; but, no, we don’t expect you to do any heavy lifting. We’re here, this is what we do, and we’re happy to do it for you. In the meantime, here are a few rest-and-relaxation activities, services, and more we recommend for your Costa Rica spiritual retreat:
Breakfast Service
Wake each morning (exclusive of Sundays) to the scents of a fresh, homemade breakfast. Choose from a traditional Costa Rican breakfast or your favorite alternative.
Note: All of our Elite Service-level villas include daily breakfast service (Mon-Sat).
Daily Housekeeping + Laundry
Don’t lift a finger! Housekeeping services are available Monday through Saturday, excluding holidays. Your housekeeper – often, a House Mom – will also prepare daily snacks, cocktails, and beverages. Feel free to request poolside service! And don’t forget, housekeeping also includes daily laundry, as needed.
Note: All of our Elite Service-level villas include daily housekeeping (Mon-Sat).
Spa Treatments
Our knowledgeable concierge can arrange spa treatments right in your vacation home. That’s right – you can enjoy a massage, manicure/pedicure, facial, body scrub, and a variety of other indulgences from the comfort of your pool terrace, ocean-view gardens, or anywhere you prefer!
Yoga
We can also arrange for a private lesson in your vacation home for an especially relaxing experience. Just imagine: the Costa Rican breeze, the sound of crashing ocean waves, the calls of parrots, and you and your mat, enjoying a private yoga session with a truly soothing soundtrack as your backdrop.
Beach Day
Costa Rica boasts some truly spectacular beaches, many of which are consistently rated among the best in the world. We highly recommend venturing out to explore them! We can assist you with planning your beach day, or you can take your rental car and explore on your own. Be sure to ask us for some beach recommendations!
Private Chef
There are quite a few private chefs in Costa Rica, but we work with the very best – our absolute favorite: a five-star catering company and an international private chef. Why are they our favorite?
Well, in addition to catering any meal and to all needs – everything from homestyle Tico meals, taco bars, and BBQs to gourmet fare, multi-course meals, and chef-plated delicacies – their services are ideally suited to various budgets, dining preferences, and group sizes. Plus, picky kids? We’ve got you covered.
This is your official invitation to treat yourself. Whether it’s one special night or every day of your vacation, enhance your trip. Take it to the next level with a private chef. Relax. No, seriously – relaaaaax. Our Costa Rica house rentals with chef allow you to sit back while someone else (someone eminently qualified) whips up that gourmet meal and mean evening cocktail!
Where to Stay: Costa Rica Spiritual Retreat
Whether you’re planning a dedicated spiritual retreat or more of a relaxation-focused getaway, it’s completely possible to plan and enjoy a completely custom retreat at your chosen luxury vacation rental.
This is where we come in. Our extremely knowledgeable concierge is on hand to help you plan every detail, whether it’s sunrise yoga and in-house spa treatments or nature hikes and a private chef to prepare clean, gourmet meals. Let us know and we’ll make it happen!
