Eco-Retreat Center in Platanillo | Turnkey Income Property

This established retreat center in Platanillo de Baru is already generating income — and ready for its next chapter. Set up for yoga retreats, wellness workshops, spiritual gatherings, and group experiences, the property offers a fully operational hospitality business with serious expansion potential. For expats and investors eyeing Costa Rica real estate with built-in cash flow, this is the real deal.

The main house features a jungle-view balcony, one bedroom, one full bathroom, an open-concept living area and kitchen, and an attic space. A separate private guest cabin comes equipped with its own hot water, full bathroom, and kitchenette — ideal for visiting owners or premium guest accommodations.

A dedicated activity zone with its own access includes a spacious rancho with a cooking area, group seating, and a firepit — the social heart of the retreat. Guests can choose from three glamping tipis and two glamping tents, giving the property a unique accommodation mix that stands out in the wellness travel market. A large yoga and meditation deck anchors the programming space, and three half-bathrooms plus two outdoor showers keep everything running smoothly during full-capacity events.

Two private creeks — one bordering the property, the other running through it — add a layer of natural beauty and calm that guests remember long after they leave. And for buyers thinking bigger, existing permits are already in place for a 300 square meter house and a swimming pool, with a septic tank already installed.

Platanillo de Baru sits in the hills above the Pacific coast, surrounded by tropical forest and just a short drive from some of the best beaches in the Southern Zone. The famous Nauyaca Waterfalls and Diamante Waterfalls are nearby, and the city of Pérez Zeledón is roughly 30 minutes away for groceries, medical care, and everyday errands. The area has become a magnet for wellness travelers and digital nomads, making it one of the more compelling Platanillo property for sale opportunities on the market. If you are considering Costa Rica homes for sale with income potential and room to grow, this retreat center deserves a serious look.
