Four Seasons Resort Peninsula Papagayo unveils its latest addition, the Wellness Shala - a serene sanctuary where guests can embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery. This unique structure was inspired by the natural grace of the Guanacaste winds and conceptualised by Mexican architects Luis Alejandro Cuesta and Javier Creuheras, the visionary founders of Arquitectura Mixta.
The Wellness Shala, perched high in the hills overlooking the Resort, offers an idyllic escape from the Resort happenings. This sacred space has been meticulously designed to provide guests with an opportunity to unlock inner harmony, align with nature, and reconnect with themselves. Guided by the principles of bio-architecture and sustainability, Cuesta and Creuheras collaborated with local artisans to create a structure that seamlessly integrates with the surrounding environment. With stunning sunrise and sunset views and nestled in the heart of Costa Rica's tropical forest, and it is a testament to the Resort's deep commitment to creating unique and unforgettable guest experiences.
"Shala is the Sanskrit word for 'home,' and this unique location and architecture bridges modern wellness practices such as Ninja Flow with the ancestral rituals of Costa Rica's indigenous cultures, such as the Cacao ceremony,” said Arnaud Dieutegard, Senior Spa Director, Four Seasons Resort Peninsula Papagayo.
“Our goal is to offer guests an unparalleled opportunity to tune in with nature and culture while nurturing their well-being."
Four Seasons Resort Peninsula Papagayo invites guests to explore the Wellness Shala and discover the magic that lies within. With breath-taking views, and a commitment to sustainability, the Resort is a premier destination for an unforgettable escape.
At the Wellness Shala, guests can anticipate a diverse range of wellness activities, from yoga and meditation to immersive cultural experiences. It is a place where guests can step outside the ordinary and embark on a journey of self-discovery, personal growth, and rejuvenation. Shala experiences include Rooted Hatha, a grounding practice to align with nature; Sounds Healing; and Yoga Nidra.
