Testimonial

Magical, Nurturing, and Immersed in Nature – A Perfect Retreat!

“My husband gifted me this retreat for my birthday, and it was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. From the moment I arrived, I felt completely taken care of and supported in every way. Jessica and Antoine were so warm, friendly, and accommodating—they truly went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect.

The retreat was a dream for anyone who loves deep connection with nature. Nestled in the lush jungle, the property felt like a hidden paradise. My favorite part was swimming in the warm river with my 4-year-old, catching little mosquito fish together—such a special memory!

The offerings were beyond amazing: delicious meals, rejuvenating massages, acupuncture, cranial sacral therapy, IVs, sound healing, yoga therapy, and so much more. Every session was thoughtfully arranged and left me feeling restored.

The house itself was stunning—beautifully designed, with a magical outdoor shower (a highlight!) and a fully screened-in lanai that served as the perfect play space for my little one, a session area, and a cozy living room. The off-grid setup was inspiring, inviting us to be more mindful of our resource use without sacrificing comfort. The extra river cabin was such a nice bonus, offering privacy for sessions or extra space to unwind.

This retreat is ideal for so many occasions—a couples getaway, a family nature adventure, a birthday or anniversary trip, or even for coaches and healers looking to host their own VIP days or private retreats. Everything about it felt intentional, sacred, and deeply nourishing.

I can’t recommend this experience enough and can't wait to return someday.”
