Blue Spirit Costa Rica provides an extraordinary setting to all who are dedicated to spiritual transformation, personal development, and environmental sustainability. Perched on a hilltop that overlooks the Pacific Ocean and a three-mile long white sand beach that is protected as a turtle refuge – Blue Spirit offers an extraordinarily beautiful and natural setting on one of Costa Rica’s renowned beaches, supporting your retreats, workshops, and trainings to be a deeply nurturing and unforgettable experience.

Blue Spirit is located in one of the world’s Blue Zones© which inspired the name Blue Spirit. According to author Dan Buettner, the Nicoya Peninsula is one of five Blue Zone’s in the world: a Blue Zone is an area where people live the longest and report the highest levels of well-being. While visiting Blue Spirit, you will feel the resonance of a vibrant, inspiring, and healing energy, because of the rich subtropical environment, and the cultural lifestyle.

Your stay at Blue Spirit offers you a comfortable and elegant accommodation of your choice, delicious gourmet vegetarian cuisine, a salt-water infinity pool, koi pond, café, gift shop, spa and longevity services, outdoor excursions, and complimentary wireless service.

Blue Spirit was founded by Stephan Rechtschaffen who also co-founded the renowned Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY. He is a nationally recognized holistic physician who lectures on health, wellness, nutrition, longevity, and time. These interests have drawn him to living and working in the more mindful and slower paced environment of Blue Spirit in Costa Rica.

Overall Experience

Although Blue Spirit is a lovely setting, I would not trust them to provide you with transport from the Liberia airport to their retreat center. I reserved a taxi to pick me up from the Liberia airport which Blue Spirit arranged. I could not find the Blue Spirit taxi driver at the agreed-upon location and time at the airport after an hour of searching, and had to find another taxi for the 2 1/2 hour ride to Blue Spirit.
I found myself in a foreign country with no cell service, relying on the kindness of strangers to help me find a 2 1/2 hour taxi ride to Blue Spirit. It was truly disappointing that Blue Spirit then charged me the full cost of the taxi (over $220) I had not taken. I unsuccessfully disputed the card charge through my credit card company.
I felt that, although they espouse a message of compassion and peace, their handling of my challenging situation truly lacked grace and compassion. I will probably not be returning to Blue Spirit again. If I do, I will arrange my own transportation.
