Why Costa Rica, Why Alcohol Free, Why Now
You don’t have to be in recovery to crave a break from alcohol and you don’t need to identify as an “alcoholic” to benefit from time in an alcohol-free retreat. In fact, we don’t even resonate with that label anymore. What we know is that a sober yoga retreat in Costa Rica can be an incredibly powerful reset for your body, mind, and spirit.
Sometimes we slip into patterns, wine with dinner, social drinking on weekends, the casual beer that turns into several, that slowly chip away at our energy and clarity. Studies show there’s no truly safe level of alcohol consumption. Choosing a sober retreat is simply choosing yourself.
And where better to do it than Costa Rica! Where nature, healing, and conscious living are part of the culture. In Monteverde’s cloud forest, you’ll find gentle yoga, nourishing vegan meals, and adventure woven with deep rest.
“I just returned from this Costa Rica retreat hosted by Bigger Life Adventures! Carrie and Zach are the kindest. The venue felt like heaven; I did not want to leave. I feel so so blessed that I connected with this group! The entire experience was AMAZING. I can’t say enough about the stellar organization and program detail! Very professional. I HIGHLY recommend! 1 scholarship is offered per retreat. Oh and the FOOD….you’ll be dreaming about it long after you’re home!!”

What Is a Sober Retreat?
A sober retreat or alcohol free retreat isn’t rehab.
It’s not about medical detox or treatment.
It’s a nurturing, supportive space to step away from substances, try new self-care practices, and connect with like-minded travelers. Think yoga, genuine connection, plant-based meals, journaling, and adventure in nature all without hangovers or social pressure.
We like to say: “We’re all each other’s teachers.” Retreats are about shared wisdom, community circles, and authentic conversations, not lectures or therapy.

Finding Alcohol-Free Community
One of the most underrated gifts of attending a sober retreat is the community you’ll meet. Whether you’re new to sobriety or many years in, it can be tough to find friends who share your values. This is especially important when much of socializing in the “real world” revolves around alcohol.
At a sober retreat in Costa Rica, everyone is on the same page. The conversations are more authentic. The connections are deeper. And the sense of being truly seen and accepted. Realizing you are good enough just how you are can be life changing.
Many people stay in touch long after the retreat ends, forming global friendships and sober support networks that continue to uplift and inspire.
Ready to Join Us in Costa Rica?
