Upon setting foot at Cala Luna Boutique Hotel & Villas, guests enter a transcendent, sustainable experience where every element of the property is meant to instill wellness, from the hotel’s free daily fitness classes and complimentary bicycle rental, to farm-to-table cuisine and holistic spa treatments at Lahari Wellness Center.

Sparked by the pandemic, the property underwent several renovations to its facilities and experience offers. The remodeled rooms, villas, and restaurants have been elevated. The experience programming focuses on creating lasting feelings for guests and transformational experiences unique to Cala Luna’s location, including educational visits to its nearby farm, La Senda, which supplies the hotel with organic fruits, vegetables and spices. The dining has been revamped with a new apothecary cocktail menu as well as a new take on Costa Rican modern cuisine.

“We are excited to share that our property has undergone several renovations to elevate the guest experience,” said Federico Pilurzu, General Manager of Cala Luna Boutique Hotel & Villas. “From educational visits to La Senda to our revamped cocktail menu, we want guests to be immersed in the experience of Cala Luna.”

Another layer of Cala Luna’s eco-experience is its weekly program where guests have the opportunity to participate in a one-of-a-kind, intimate La Senda Farm-to-Table Dinner experience with like minded travelers who visit the farm, partake on a tour of its grounds, and end the night with a family-style meal. One of La Senda’s attractions is its otherworldly labyrinth, created after the discovery of several energy points of the property. Guests can partake in a Guided Meditation in the Labyrinth which works on the body, mind, and spirit.

In addition to Cala Luna’s available eco-experiences, they offer a “WannaBee” Honey? program where a passionate beekeepers family educates guests with their infinite knowledge and love for bees. Cala Luna’s Secret & Sacred Medicinal Garden program uses nature’s elements(roots, barks, leaves, flowers and seeds) to create holistic multipurpose remedies to enhance the wellbeing of the body and all senses. In this program, guests will cultivate sacred connections with Herbal Tea Mixology, Sacred Smoke to Purify and Connect, Wisdoms of Natures Remedies, or Local Dry Forest Crown Crafting. This also includes nature walks and herbal tea degustation in the Labyrinth, tea ceremonies, herbal support for detox programs, and support for sacred practices with smudging agents, aroma mists, sweet and bitter baths, and more.

Inspired by its native Costa Rican setting, Cala Luna houses a range of distinct offerings for guests seeking to address mind, body and spirit, perks that earned the hotel the title of Most Innovative Wellness Hotel from the Global Beauty & Wellness Awards, the world’s premier independent beauty and wellness awards recognizing outstanding achievements in brand innovation and sustainability across the cosmetics, personal care, food supplement and hotel industries around the world. Retreat activities include kirtan and sound baths, holistic yoga, freeform ecstatic dance, live music and body painting, natural blue clay transformation experience, drum circles, magical cacao ceremonies, a detox program, and even a kids’ mindfulness program. A certified yoga and mindfulness teacher will lead guests from four to 10 years old through arts and crafts, yoga, meditation, and nature conservation.
