La Loma Linda

Zipolite


Stacked on a steep hillside away from the tourist center, this handsome yoga retreat is an aesthetic joy with six exceptionally well-designed bungalows with private bathrooms and four individual rooms that share a bathroom encased in a hexagonal Mudéjar-style tower. The gardens and terraces are impeccable and there’s a yoga studio offering classes Wednesday through Sunday (nonguests welcome).

Rooms have fridge, mozzie nets, hammocks and huge stone terrace with ocean or garden views. Book ahead as the German owners often host retreats.
