Passion in Paradise
Deepen Connection, Embrace Desires & Create a Lifetime of Pleasure
Costa Rica @ Imiloa
IIf you’re a couple longing to reignite the spark and rekindle the deep passion that first brought you together, this Weeklong Intimacy Retreat in the Costa Rica Jungle is your invitation. Step away from the distractions of everyday life and into a space where desire awakens, emotional connection deepens, and your love is nourished to burn brighter than ever before.
The soft morning mist clings to the towering trees as the playful calls of birds echo through the jungle, gently waking you both. Curled up together in your luxurious king-sized bed, you gaze out at the rainforest as flashes of vibrant macaws streak across the canopy—bursts of green, gold, and cobalt blue dancing through the deep emerald leaves. You reach for each other, sharing a quiet smile, a slow breath, a tender touch. In this sacred stillness, something stirs—presence, possibility, and the feeling of coming home… to yourselves, and to each other.
A deep sense of peace and contentment washes over you.
Pura Vida…Life is Good.
You sit across from your partner as the sun begins to dip behind the mountains, casting a golden glow over the jungle. The world softens, and time seems to slow. In this sacred bubble, it’s just the two of you—wrapped in warmth, stillness, and a deep, soul-stirring connection.
You speak from the heart, share your desires, and feel the joy of being truly seen. There’s no judgment here—only tenderness, acceptance, and the quiet promise of more love to come.
This is the kind of moment that lingers…
That reminds you what it means to truly love—and be loved.
Yes, my friend… you can have this.
And so much more.
If you’ve been feeling more like roommates than lovers…
If the spark between you has dimmed beneath years of stress, caregiving, and unspoken resentment…
If you miss the days when a glance, a touch, or a kiss could set your whole body on fire…
Then it’s time to reclaim what’s been lost—and awaken what still lives deep within you.
Join us for Passion in Paradise, a couples intimacy retreat in the heart of the Costa Rican jungle.
This is more than a romantic getaway—it’s a sacred space to heal the distance that’s crept in, to dissolve the layers of guilt, shame, or fear around intimacy, and to rediscover the joy of being fully alive in your body—and fully present with each other.
Imagine what it would feel like to reconnect in a way that feels natural, nourishing, and real.
To look into your partner’s eyes and feel that warm spark of desire flicker to life again.To share laughter, touch, and conversations that go deeper than logistics and to-do lists.
What if you could truly understand what lights you up in the bedroom—and feel confident asking for it?
What if sex felt playful, exciting, and deeply connected again—not just another thing on the list?
What if you could want to want sex… not out of obligation, but out of genuine desire?
Can you picture a future where being empty nesters doesn’t mean growing apart—but growing into a whole new chapter of fun, freedom, and sensual discovery?
Can you imagine feeling excited about each other again—not just for one week in paradise, but for the life you’re continuing to build together?
If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, then you absolutely must join us for a week of Passion in Paradise!
Our specially designed couples retreat was created with you in mind!
- Surrounded my amazing vistas, in the lap of luxury, you will dedicate an entire week to strengthening your bonds, free of distractions and life stresses.

Welcome to Imiloa—our private retreat center on the Pacific Coast. A lush, untamed sanctuary where the wildness of the jungle meets the raw, electric power of intimacy. Here, nothing is rushed. The rainforest wraps around you like a lover—warm, unpredictable, and full of surprises. The air is thick with the scent of rain and ripe fruit, the distant cry of howler monkeys echoing like a call to wake up... to feel more. As you walk the winding paths—hand-in-hand—you’re no longer just a couple. You’re explorers in a land where desire lives close to the surface and the rules of the outside world don’t apply. The open-air Gathering Space becomes your intimate stage. With jungle vines swaying above and the ocean glimmering in the distance, this is where you’ll stretch into sensual movement, press skin to skin in erotic practices, and see each other in ways that feel deliciously new. There’s a thrill here—a charged energy that crackles in the silence, in the eye contact, in the not-quite-yet of a deepening touch. Whether you're lying in a hammock together beneath the stars or awakening your senses in a partner practice, everything about this space whispers… come closer. This is more than a retreat setting—it’s a living, breathing container for intimacy. A place where your connection softens, deepens, and ignites—all in rhythm with the pulse of the jungle.
Your Love Nest in the Jungle: Bungalows, Jungle Domes and Bali Suites & Homes

A Farm to Table Experience Get ready to fall in love—with your food, with your partner, and with the ritual of savoring every bite. At Imiloa, each meal is a five-star, plant-based culinary experience that delights the senses and nourishes the soul. Led by Executive Chef Pedro and his talented team, the kitchen transforms locally grown, organic ingredients into artful dishes that are bursting with flavor, color, and intention. From the first taste of sun-ripened mango or tangy guava to the last sip of a creamy coconut-based soup spiced just right, every dish is layered, complex, and absolutely delicious. You’ll start your mornings with vibrant tropical fruit plates and warm, gluten-free pastries that melt in your mouth. Lunch and dinner are decadent yet wholesome—seasonal vegetables, rich sauces, and bold flavor combinations that feel both comforting and wildly exotic. Even if you're not plant-based at home, you’ll be amazed at how satisfying and indulgent these meals are—each one a celebration of creativity, texture, and taste.
But the real magic? It’s not just what’s on the plate—it’s who you share it with.
Mealtimes become moments of connection. You’ll laugh, taste, touch hands, and linger over second helpings together, relishing the pleasure of slow dining and rich conversation.
The setting is as inviting as the food itself—beautifully set dining tables under the trees, candlelit corners, and views of the jungle that make everything feel just a little more alive.

When you arrive at Imiloa, you’ll be welcomed like family. Warm smiles, a welcome reception filled with mouth watering treats, and the soft hum of the rainforest surround you.
Breathe it in.
The air is thick with possibility, and everything about this place invites you to exhale, soften, and open.

So take your partner's hand, lean into the unknown, and get ready.
Because the magic?.
It’s only just beginning.
