Surrounded by old-growth jungle (including an awe-inspiring 'Goddess Tree'), this place at the end of the Playa Negra road is geared toward larger groups and yoga enthusiasts, but independent travelers looking for a peaceful, meditative five- to seven-day immersive experience are also welcome. Rates include four free yoga classes, a one-hour massage and a hike in Cahuita National Park.
