Intentional Living

You’re away from the busyness of life, it's the perfect time to reflect and create new intentions. Intentions that empower you to live a healthy long life that fills you with purpose and joy.


Relaxing by the pool or ocean, daily yoga and meditation, enjoying life-giving food and connecting with an amazing group of women at our own private retreat property - blissful.

Nestled on top of a quiet ridge in the coastal oasis of Playa Pelada, a unique surf town known for its laid-back vibe and beautiful beaches. This exclusive space in the jungle with stunning ocean vistas allows you to immerse yourself in nature.

Whether you've been practicing for just a short while or have a regular practice, this is an opportunity to dive deeper into all aspects of yoga, feel good in your skin, and enjoy a daily rhythm of self-care surrounded by nature. Reconnect with yourself and the amazing potential of your body. Feel fabulous.


You'll be nourished—with a lovingly designed plant-based menu. Our private chef uses primarily locally sourced and organic food for a very special culinary experience.
 Join the twice-daily yoga sessions that will leave your body and mind feeling nurtured, refreshed and grounded and strong. Add in some excursions, relaxing by the pool, and cultivating heartfelt friendships along the way for a life-affirming week.

I can’t wait to share this adventure with you.

Join me in Nosara, Costa Rica at Casas Kismet

Donna Davis

I first visited Nosara 12 years ago. I knew I had found my 'happy place'. Since then, I've returned numerous times, leading retreats, and trips with friends and family, and each experience has renewed my love for the culture, country and people.

With over 25 years as a yoga teacher and trainer, my deep desire is to create immersive experiences that allow women to connect to what truly matters in their life.

The Nosara area has it all. Beautiful beach sunsets, a thriving yoga community, howler monkeys everywhere, the most relaxed vibe you'll ever experience, and did I mention the FOOD? 😋

Our retreat is surrounded by mature jungle and is a short walk from the world-class surfing beaches of Playa Pelada. This is truly the ideal spot to renew, relax and reconnect.

Get ready to shine, from inside and out. Create an energized, more powerful, more amazing YOU.

Costa Rica is a beautiful and biodiverse country.

The Nicoya Pennisula – where our retreat is located – is one of the five famous "Blue Zones" on Earth. This is where people enjoy a long, healthy, happy life.

Our Yoga Space

The view, the saltwater air, the space to be you.

Each day you come to your mat you have the chance to Begin Again. Renew body, mind and soul with your daily practice.

Relax - Poolside

Take a big exhale. You have permission to do what makes you feel good. Casa Kismet is the perfect oasis to help you relax and rejuvenate your body, mind and soul. We have a simple daily schedule; everything is taken care of. I've got you.

Reconnect

Did I mention the food...

Plant-focused cuisine is one of the highlights of your stay at Casas Kismet.
The food that we eat each day has a powerful effect on our health. Eating high-quality fresh food that is both nutritious and wholesome revitalizes the body.


Meals at Casas Kismet are fun and a great way to enjoy the company of your fellow guests, to make new friends, share life experiences, and laugh.  Meals are served in the poolside outdoor dining area.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What Airport Should I Fly Into?

Highly recommend you fly into Liberia International Airport as it is 2.5-hour drive to Casas Kismet. You can fly into San Jose, however, the drive will be 4.5-5 hours from the airport.

Laundry service is available for $10 a load. Beach and Pool towels are provided by Casas Kismet.

Pretty much everywhere you go will accept credit cards and Dollars. You will get Colones (Costa Rica money) in change when you use cash. We recommend bringing smaller bills (more 10’s and 5’s, fewer 20’s) for things around town. Excursions will most likely require cash, save your larger bills for these. 

Where Do I Keep My VALUABLES Safe?

In-room safes are available at Casas Kismet. Do not take valuables to the beach unless someone can stay with them. Put your passport away in a safe place when you arrive at Casas Kismet. It’s a great idea to take a photo of your passport in case of an emergency.
