The Ultimate Retreat to
Relax, Recharge, and Rejuvenate




xo Heather Vickery

Prioritizing self-care is one of the most transformational gifts you can give yourself—and even those you care about. Sure, there are a million daily ways to practice self-care, but sometimes that’s simply not enough. If you're craving something more—a genuine, immersive experience that fills you with hope, ignites self-awareness, deepens self-compassion, and connects you with a community that truly gets it—then this is exactly where you need to be.

The Journey to Self Retreat in Costa Rica isn’t your typical escape. It’s a heartfelt invitation to step away from the everyday and rediscover every vibrant piece of who you are. Imagine exploring lush rainforests and cascading waterfalls while reconnecting with your truth. You’ll return feeling rested, relaxed, and rejuvenated.

I bring decades of experience curating transformative adventures that blend stunning landscapes with genuine personal growth. With my deep-rooted passion for travel and knack for building inspiring communities, I've created this retreat to be more than just a getaway—it’s a bold step towards a more authentic and joyful life. And if you’re ready for an even deeper transformation, there’s an exclusive opportunity for private, one-on-one work with me, offering a personalized journey tailored to your unique story.

So, if you're ready to embrace an extraordinary self-care adventure that goes beyond the everyday, join me in Costa Rica. Let this retreat be the spark that lights up your journey to becoming the happiest most joyful version of yourself.

Sustainability & Ethical Practices

Miles of jungle pathways that lead to different gems on the property, including our private waterfall, named by the priests of the Indigenous Tribe (Kogis, from Colombia) “Morundwa.” The tribe visited Imiloa, as many tribes do, and activated our waterfall.

At Imiloa, the cuisine is “conscious comfort food.” That means healthy, locally-sourced, gourmet vegan meals that are as artistically plated, scientifically nourishing and delightfully crafted for all of our retreat guests.

Whether you’re in 200 year old homes from Bali on the cliff, Geodesic Domes deep in the Jurrasic Jungle or Jungalows with bathtubs out to our unofficial sloth sanctuary, you’ll have a story to tell about your stay at Imiloa.

This retreat offers a full spectrum of experiences, including Compassionate Inquiry, Sound Healing, the Blue Clay Experience, high-vibration breath work, Forest Bathing, a Cacao Ceremony, Fire Ceremonies, Beach Dinner Parties, and more. Guests can also elevate their experience with exclusive one-on-one sessions with retreat host Heather Vickery, ensuring a deeply personalized journey toward healing and rejuvenation.

Immerse in a world of self-care where indulgent spa treatments and an infinity plunge pool invite you to lounge, create, learn, and play, all while enjoying curated chill areas along the upper ridge with sweeping views of the mighty Pacific. Here, relaxation meets history as you unwind in enchanting 160+ year-old homes that transport them 200 years back to the soulful spirit of Indonesia.

At this retreat, genuine connection and community aren’t just added extras—they’re the heartbeat of this transformative experience. Every shared meal, intimate conversation, and spontaneous moment builds bonds that will leave you with a renewed sense of belonging and a commitment to living joyfully and authentically.







Escape the daily grind and step into a realm of true relaxation, where every element—from rejuvenating spa treatments to an infinity plunge pool with breathtaking Pacific views—invites a deep, mindful unwind. Nestled among historic 160+ year-old homes with serene lounge areas, this retreat is designed for you to slow down, recharge, and rediscover a sense of inner calm.






Grounded in a deep respect for the community and environment, this retreat weaves sustainable practices into every experience. Guests delight in plant-based cuisine crafted from locally sourced ingredients, while wellness sessions led by practitioners indigenous to the area provide authentic insights and healing rooted in generations of knowledge. With a heartfelt commitment to land recognition and a passion for preserving untouched nature, every detail is designed to nourish the soul and honor the rich tapestry of the local ecosystem.
