HOST YOUR RETREAT

ESCALERAS, COSTA RICA * SOUTHERN ZONE

Your retreat.

Fully supported.

Utterly unforgettable.

Casa Nautika is a private jungle sanctuary where transformational leaders host life-changing retreats — with every detail handled, so you can focus entirely on your participants.

“It’s almost impossible for me to put into words how magical Casa Nautika is. The view, the jungle, the sounds, the smells, the animals — are certainly all components that make this place so special. The most important ingredient, however, is the love Jon has put, and continuously puts, into Casa Nautika.

”
— Amanda Donald, Retreat Facilitator

WHY FACILITATORS CHOOSE US

You hold the space.

We handle everything else.

Hosting a retreat and holding space for others requires tremendous energy. At Casa Nautika, we've spent 8 years perfecting a support system designed specifically to take the logistical weight off your shoulders — so you arrive rested, and leave knowing your participants had the experience of their lives.

From airport coordination and daily organic meals to excursion planning, local transport, and day-to-day troubleshooting — Jonathan is by your side throughout the entire journey. Not as a landlord, but as a genuine co-creator of your retreat experience.
