Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort

The signature yoga retreat at Bodhi tree is one of a kind. Mela and Duncan were great hosts and provided a well rounded itinerary with a great mix of yoga classes, Pilates, and reflection. Walks on the beach in the mornings are amazing and only a 10min walk. The town of Nosara is also only a 10min walk on the beach or jungle path - cute shops, restaurants and organic grocery store await! Surf lessons were included in the retreat and was such a fun way to experience something so special to Costa Rica! Such a great experience, with amazing people, at a gorgeous calming resort.

If you are a yogi, pilates practitioner or just someone searching for a transformative health & wellness experience, put Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort in Nosara, Costa Rica on your bucket list! The resort can only be described as truly magical. The grounds, pools and facilities are breathtaking. No design detail has been spared. While practicing a more strenuous vinyasa class or a restorative Yin class in one of the exquisite shalas surrounded by lush jungle, you will want to pinch yourself from disbelief that you are practicing yoga in such a beautiful and transformative space. The staff and instructors understand and breathe hospitality to the nth degree. Everyone is incredibly friendly and responsive to any question or need. On more than one occasion, a staff member went out of their way to point out wildlife including birds, an impressive iguana and an entire family of monkeys. I was blessed to attend the most recent Bodhi Tree Signature retreat in February 2025. Melany Martinez and Duncan Bourke led the retreat and not only were incredibly knowledgeable and skilled in their yoga instruction, they are perhaps two of the most beautiful people, inside and out, that I have ever encountered! After being a yoga practitioner for 25 years, I have been taught by numerous instructors and they simply are the BEST. My husband, who did not participate in the yoga retreat, had a wonderful time joining in on the different excursions - bike ride to the beach to watch the amazing sunsets, boat tour and snorkeling in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, couples massage at the amazing spa, dinner at La Luna (a local must dine restaurant on the beach), and simply relaxing by one of the amazing pools. We felt incredibly lucky to meet the owner of Bodhi Tree, Gary. His passion for health and wellness, and providing an authentic and unique resort experience was impressive. He shared plans to build more facilities for additional sports and services. Lastly, the food was phenomenal. Fresh, organic ingredients at every meal all served buffet style. We usually never eat buffets as the quality is questionable. Not at the Bodhi Tree! Whether breakfast, lunch or dinner, each meal was delicious and varying in different ethnic cuisines. Not to mention an amazing smoothie, juice and coffee bar. Every day that we spent at the Bodhi Tree topped the next. We came home relaxed, recharged and rejuvenated from our pura vida experience. We are counting the days until we can return!

Bohdi Tree is the best Fitness resort for active people. We had a private 2 bedoom casita with lovely outdoor patio. Daily surf at Guiones is a short drive away. You will not find a more robust yoga schedule at any resort, anywhere. Plus they have daily spin classes, pilates classes and a gym that provides enough equipment to maintain your lifting routine. Not to mention a lap lane for swimming in their main pool. If you want fitness, Bohdi Tree has it all.

We recently hosted a retreat at The Bodhi Tree. All of the staff are incredible. It is obvious that they care very much about guests and the resort itself. We had a wonderful experience and we credit the Bodhi Tree staff with making that so. We will return.

Resort was amazing. The staff in every department went above and beyond to ensure the perfect stay. Food was healthy, local and soooo good. Rooms were comfortable and entire grounds from spa to pool to studio spaces were perfect. Although many people at the resort, the space felt unique, safe and special!

I went to the Bodhi Tree Signature Retreat in Feb of 2025 and everything from the activities, food, staff, other retreaters, were all amazing. Duncan and Melany are truly caring people who put a lot of intention and effort into the experience! The buffet was great with a different menu everyday including different daily juices - I had a little game going to choose my favorite but it was real hard to narrow down... Also as a beginner yoga guy it was also nice to have a blend of teaching styles between Duncan and Melody in their beautiful studios. You can also take other classes or just do whatever you want :) So if you're looking for a blend of some luxury, yoga, great conversation, blue ocean, 10/10 sunsets, etc, etc this is the place!
