    December through April is the driest and sunniest. Many guests also love the green season (May–November) when the landscaping is lush.

  • How do guests get to Holos?

    We advise you take routes along the coast and on Costa Rican state roads. The interior mountain routes have windy, one-lane roads with low visibility and more volatile weather. You can use Waze or Google Maps with the destination “Holos Retreat Center”. For full driving directions, airport transfer times, recommended taxis, and arrival maps, see Getting Here.
