About this trip

Fall asleep to the lull of distant waves. Awake to the sunrise and the call of howler monkeys.  As you make your way to the main dining area for breakfast, you’re sure to be greeted by wild monkeys, toucans, macaws, sloths, and other creatures of the rainforest.

The Bungalow

Our bungalows at Osa Clandestina are nestled in the Rainforest Reserve just a 5-minute walk from the beach and Pan Dulce Surf Break.  We offer comfortable bungalows with a casual elegance surrounded by lush gardens and a hundred acres of our private rainforest reserve.  All bungalows have air-conditioning, a private bathroom, and a private terrace with garden & jungle views.


Easily explore uncrowded beaches and winding forest trails, or simply relax on the terrace of your bungalow and wait for the monkeys and macaws to parade through the network of mango and other native fruit trees that front the property.

The Experience

Imagine your surf lessons taking place at our surf spot suitable for all levels including absolute beginners followed by delicious yoga that nurtures the mind and body to open and restore the muscles and energy. Our yoga practices are designed to illuminate acceptance and gratitude for the moment and offer invitations to absorb mind-body nourishment through grounding, opening, and restorative flows.


Additionally, many other activities and guided tours can be arranged such as kayaking, horseback riding, sportfishing, hiking, rappelling, and even gold panning. Of course, doing “nothing” on a vacation is a luxury in and of itself; a breezy lounge with games, books, and music affords an opportunity to do just that. Whether adventuring or decompressing, we provide a great variety of local, artisanal, and organic fare to nourish your body and soul and prepare you for your next discovery.


This jungle escape is the perfect setting to relax, engage, explore, surf, sunbathe, and stargaze.  Doesn’t that sound blissful?

This is my 7th Swell Women retreat and hopefully not my last. The owner of Swell Women continues to change with the times and add more interesting locations and offerings along with surfing.

Thank you for sharing your experience Trina. It's always a delight to have you on retreat and an honor to witness how courageous you are becoming in the water. Your dedication to overcoming the fear is incredibly inspiring. Can't wait for the next experience together. Lulu ❤️

I wholeheartedly recommend a retreat with Lulu—no matter which one calls to you, transformation is inevitable. I joined during a low point in my life, feeling weighed down by fear and overwhelm—even the idea of traveling felt like too much. But the moment I arrived, everything shifted. I felt myself come back to life. The daily surfing, eating amazing healthy food, yoga, and resting completely surrounded in nature, shared with a circle of like-minded women—was a deeply healing and unforgettable experience. It was pure magic. My confidence returned, my joy expanded, and my passion for life was reignited. I can honestly say I reclaimed my power and endlessly grateful for the space SwellWomen and Lulu have created—it’s something I will carry with me always.

My trip with SwellWomen to the Osa Peninsula was nothing short of magical. The waves, the people, the food, the weather, the hotel, and the way that Lulu makes sure you have everything you need - not just physical comforts but she checks in with you on an emotional and spiritual level. I felt completely at ease the whole time on the trip. I expected to have a great surf trip based on reviews from past participants, but I didn't anticipate the mental and spiritual growth I was going to have on land and in the water. I wasn't looking for this - I just wanted a surf trip where I could relax, eat great food and push my surfing up a level - but I am so grateful that this is what I experienced. It was exactly what I needed and I can't wait to go on another trip with Lulu!

By Lauren L for SwellWomen Costa Rica Surf & Yoga Retreat on May 15, 2025
Thank you for your review. It's always a joy to have you on retreat, Lauren. This past retreat in Costa Rica was the best I've ever seen you surf. I'd like to celebrate how far you've come since your first retreat in Nicaragua back in 2015...WOWZA! Such confidence and grace. ❤️
