A "Retreat" is a 7-day event that is all-inclusive (food, training, accommodation, tours -- see Pricing for full list of inclusions). 

The Muay Thai classes are 90 minutes long and led by at least 2 experienced trainers and fighters. We focus primarily on technique, partner drills, and light sparring. We also do everything as a group including hikes, dinners out in town, trips to beaches, and so much more.

For extracurriculars in addition to these, Nosara is a tourist town, so there are tons of options. You can rent ATVs and ride them in the jungle, or go on helicopter tours, or take cooking classes... There's a LOT to do!

We have a very wide range of experience levels attending these trips. There's been people who have never trained Muay Thai a day in their life but there have also been experienced fighters who have been training for years.

Your Muay Thai experience at these events is carefully crafted to your experience and comfort level. You will not be asked or pressured to do anything that's not in your comfort zone :)

Yes - of course!

In fact, all of our trainers are used to working with all skill levels - especially beginners - and will make sure you learn proper technique early on in your Muay Thai development. It will also help to be around and learn from other motivated individuals who are at the camp who may be more experienced than you. Basically, you’ve got nothing to worry about!

We've had hundreds of people join our events who were complete beginners, so we know how to make sure you are learning the proper technique and having fun while doing it.

We've had campers in their 50s and 60s attend both retreats and training camps.

And you know the craziest thing about that? It's that they often have the most energy out of the entire group!

Also another benefit of these trips is that you can go at your own pace and take sessions off as you see fit. Plus, with so much beauty around you, there is plenty to do if you decide to take a session off.

You must have at least 3000 USD.

Depending on the event, we max out at 25-30 attendees

No. Your flights aren't included in your package, but we're available to help advise you in booking them. 

Your transportation to and from the resort is also not included. However, we will assist with airport shuttles to and from the resort, but the payment is still up to you to complete.

We recommend flying into Liberia Airport - the closest airport to the Jungles Edge Resort. Try to arrive between 8 AM - 4 PM local time so you can share a shuttle with fellow guests. We'll help arrange shuttles, too. The cost will be split among all passengers, so it's best to come between the aforementioned hours.

There are pharmacies and doctors nearby, so if you get ill or injured we will make sure you get quality attention. 

Food is included in your package and is served 3x a day. Most meals are local Costa Rican dishes like casado, fresh-caught fish, fresh fruits, guacamole, platanos, burritos, rice bowls, salads, organic meats and much more. But there is also plenty of standard Western fare served throughout the week, from pizza to pasta, salads to rice dishes. It's a great and delicious variety of meals that will keep your Muay Thai machine fueled for the whole week!

You also receive 1 refreshing tropical smoothie or fresh squeezed juice daily. If you are a vegetarian or vegan, Jungle’s Edge will cater to your diet. We also will be spending one day out as a group to eat at a local restaurant where meals are around $10-$20 depending on where we go and what you choose to eat.

Absolutely!

We've had guests with vegan diets, vegetarian diets, gluten-free diets, and everything in between come to our retreats.

We do our absolute best to cater to whatever dietary needs you have. You won't have any trouble finding delicious and nutritious food throughout the week.

What a great way to spend time as a family! The resorts that we stay at are kid-friendly so there would be no issue in that regard.

However, when it comes to the training, we do not allow kids under 13 years old to train.
