Our retreat centre is immersed in the environment and connected with the surrounds. Ikara means "meeting place" in the Adnyamathanha language. The Adnyamathanha are Indigenous People from the Flinders Ranges in Australia. Ikara is a meeting place where self meets soul.
At Ikara Retreat center, we have the most magnificent views of the pacific ocean visible from all parts of the property. The vista is so overwhelmingly large that it feels like the oceans horizon is higher than us. We have 180 degree ocean views which includes the islands of Manuel Antonio National Park. This vista brings a great sense of peace and calm to people, Being above the ocean but also in cool mountain air, we are ionized here. Our ceremonies are carried out on our large deck with ocean views and surrounded by nature..
The center is quiet and as a result we have regular animal visitors to the property. Everyday we see colibri (hummingbirds), toucans, tolomuco (tayra), pezote (white nosed coati), agouti, white faced capuchins, mariposas (butterflies), eagles and a wealth of frogs, amphibians, monkeys, birds and lizards. There are sloths and wild cats (ocelot, jaguar, puma and margay) but they are all elusive.
You can sit in the pool and watch the sunset over the ocean every afternoon There is a mix of manicured gardens and jungle to explore. Plenty of space to be by yourself.. Growing on the property we have bananas, aguacate (avocados), pipas (coconuts), jengibre (ginger), manzana (apples) and more. To be honest, the animals eat most of it! The only way to find out how beautiful it is....... is to stay here - or look at the pictures below.
