Architecture that settles your nervous system
Biophilic design and handcrafted detail, built into the canopy. The space does its work before you understand why — quieting the body, opening the breath, dissolving the urgency you arrived with.
The Essence
Taru means tree, in Sanskrit.
A tree does not perform growth — it simply grows. It sends roots into darkness to reach toward light, and shelters without asking. Taru is a place where transformation is not sold, but allowed to happen — where the jungle slows you down enough to hear yourself again.
Come root yourself. Leave in bloom.

Good to Know
Before you arrive.
What about rainy season?
We call it the green season — the most intimate, most lush, most alive version of Taru. Fewer people, deeper experience, the jungle at full power. The rain on the canopy becomes part of the practice, not an interruption.
How do I get to Montezuma?
Fly into San José or Liberia, then a short domestic flight or scenic drive and ferry to the Nicoya Peninsula. We send a full travel guide on booking and can arrange airport transfer.
Is this for me if I've never done a retreat?
Yes. Taru is a sanctuary, not a program you have to keep up with. The daily rhythm is an invitation, never an obligation — go as deep as you choose.
What's included in the price?
Your accommodation, all meals, daily movement and sanctuary access (sauna, cold plunge, pool, yoga deck), and the curated experiences of your chosen journey. Add-ons like private ceremony or transfers are optional.
Can I come alone?
Many of our guests do. Solo travelers find Taru both safe and quietly social — shared meals and practice when you want connection, total solitude when you don't.
What's your cancellation policy?
Free cancellation up to 30 days before arrival. Your deposit is refundable within 14 days of booking. Full terms are shown at checkout.
