At Pandanus Lodge & Retreats, our mission is to create a peaceful sanctuary where people can slow down, reconnect, and rediscover what truly matters.

Our vision is to offer more than just a vacation. Through small groups, personal attention, and authentic hospitality, we hope every guest leaves feeling stronger, healthier, and more connected to themselves and the world around them.

Come as you are. Leave refreshed, inspired, and deeply renewed.

Highly Recommended Rested & Refreshed Pilates & Adventure Experience
I came to the retreat to relax, to practice Pilates and experience Costa Rica as it was my first time. I landed the day before my birthday and everyday was a new experience from hiking around the property to daily Pilates mat and reformer practice, relaxing by the pool, wonderful and varied vegan dinner. It was an absolute joy spending time with Ilona and Benno. Their hospitality and energy were exactly what I needed. The bungalows are comfortable and gave me a feeling of being in the jungle. I could hear howler monkeys outside on my walks, toucans in the trees and beautiful views of Arenal. I recommend this to anyone from beginner to advanced practitioners of Pilates. And it is not just about Pilates. It is the Pura Vida experience in the jungle. The experiences I selected that supplemented the Lodge added to a great time: Sloths, Butterfly farm, Waterfall hike, Thermal baths, and ziplining. Thank you Ilona and Benno for my stay.
