WHEN ARE THE RETREATS?
STEP 1
Our weekly retreats run all year long, so when you book your stay with us the FIRST STEP is to choose the week that works best with your schedule. Every week we have different guest yoga teachers from around the world that come to teach at Anamaya bringing their unique talents and energy. Our retreats run from Saturday to Saturday.
WHAT YOGA PACKAGES DO YOU OFFER?
STEP 2
Choose the yoga package that’s right for you. We have a package that suits everyone’s needs.
YOGA & ADVENTURE:
This package includes all 10 yoga classes that are taught over the week, a zipline adventure (or a surfing lesson), a cooking class, dance lesson, beach bonfire excursion, and a butterfly garden tour.
YOGA & SURFING:
This package is for beginners who want to learn how to surf, or surfers who’d like to take their skills to the next level. It includes all 10 yoga classes, 5 surfing lessons and board rental, a cooking class, dance lesson, and beach bonfire excursion.
YOGA & rejuvenation:
This package is designed for those who want to relax and recharge. It includes all 10 yoga classes, two 60-min massage treatments, cooking class, dance lesson, and beach bonfire excursion.
pure YOGA:
This package is our most economical option at Anamaya, and includes all 10 yoga classes only. But don’t worry...you can always add excursions, workshops, treatments or classes when you arrive if you desire.
COUPLES PACKAGE:
This package is a great option for couples who are traveling together and want to relax, explore and connect. It includes all 10 yoga classes for each individual, a 60-min couples massage, and intimate dinner for two under the stars, cooking class, dance lesson, and beach bonfire excursion.
YOGA & scuba certification:
This package is for those who want to become certified scuba divers. We use the CMAS International Diver Training Certification System to certify new divers. The CMAS course is the equivalent to PADI’s Advanced Open Water Certification, so at the entry level the CMAS course is more comprehensive than PADI’s Open Water Diver Certification. The package includes all 10 yoga classes as well, which will be a fantastic accompaniment to your scuba diving training.
a la carte
If you’d rather not pick a package at all, and simply play it by ear when you arrive then that is always an option as well. Remember – you can create the perfect retreat for you, so the A la carte option allows you to pick and choose how many classes, excursions and extras you’d like to participate in.
WHERE WILL I STAY?
The THIRD STEP in booking your retreat is to choose your accommodations. Are you traveling solo? With your BFF or partner? Maybe it’s a girls getaway with a group of friends? We have a variety of rooms that will suit your needs…and your budget. Our rooms areelegantly designed with every detail focusing on protecting the environment. All of our rooms have ceiling fans, AC, and organic linens. Every cabina is located on Anamaya’s stunning property and they all, but one, have a breathtaking ocean view. The only cabina that doesn’t have an ocean view is our Jungle Cabina which has….you guessed it, a beautiful view of the jungle.
Booking your customized retreat is as easy as 1, 2, 3…and our fantastic reservations team is available to help answer all your questions about creating your retreat, finding your way to Anamaya, or any additional questions or concerns you may have.

WHAT ARE THE MEALS LIKE AT ANAMAYA?
A large portion of the food we serve at Anamaya was grown on our very own farm. It’s all local and organic when possible, gluten free, and absolutely delicious! Chef Jeff and his team receive high praise every night after dinner as our guests ask when the Anamaya cook book will be ready to purchase.
The meals are served in the main house at Anamaya, community style so all the guests have an opportunity to connect and socialize. Breakfast is usually served buffet style, with lunch & dinner typically plated.
We serve chicken and fish, and cater to vegans and vegetarians as well. The food is balanced and nutritious, but that doesn’t mean it’s not out-of-this-world delicious!
Simply Amazing! A Truly Special Place.
“The staff, the location, the food, the accommodations – everything about this place is incredible. Chef Jeff and his team create delicious gluten free meals and are very accommodating to any other dietary needs. You can tell a lot of love goes into the cooking and it’s so tasty and beautifully presented. Preparing and serving 3 meals a day and keeping it interesting and consistently high quality must be a challenge but the team delivered for every meal! I want to cook all the recipes at home!”
Most Amazing, Life Changing and Fulfilling Experience EVER!
“From the moment I stepped foot onto Anamaya’s property, I felt the magic in and around my soul. It felt like home immediately. Everyone there with you is a like-minded individual, most likely looking for the same things in their life at that moment. A lifechanging mind-body-soul experience. The property is unlike anything I have ever experienced. Everything is beautiful…and the food is out of this world. I could honestly go on, and on, and on about this place. But all you need to know, is that you need to go here, SOON. You WON’T regret it, and it WILL change your life.”
Anamaya was a Life Changing Experience!
“Anamaya is my home away from home. Everything about the trip, from the room to the staff to the yoga teacher, to the AMAZING food, to the pool, to the treatments was absolutely mind blowing and worth every penny. I cannot wait until I return to this very special place.”
