Animar provides a challenge for all levels of adventure seekers whether you would prefer to meditate on the sands of Playa Dominical, pound the nearby world class waves on a surfing extravaganza, or hike through a rain forest brimming with cascading waterfalls and exotic foliage.

The goal of this retreat is to capture and tailor the needs of each individual guest and find the key to making this time truly fulfilling for one and all.
