Blue Zone Reset

Seven days in one of the five

The Nicoya Peninsula is one of the world's five Blue Zones. This journey takes that seriously — movement, food, sleep and the people who live it, rather than a spa menu.

Day by day

  1. 1

    Arrival

    Light aircraft to Nosara, and an early supper.

  2. 2

    Morning practice

    Movement at sunrise, then a long breakfast and nothing urgent.

  3. 3

    The food

    Market, then cooking with a local family — beans, maize, squash, and the diet as actually eaten.

  4. 4

    Inland

    Hills behind the coast, a working farm, and the centenarians who are not a marketing device.

  5. 5

    Water

    Sea in the morning, river in the afternoon.

  6. 6

    Rest

    Unscheduled by design.

  7. 7

    Return

    Back to San José, or onward.

Why it works

  • Cooking with a Nicoyan family in their own kitchen
  • Genuine Blue Zone context rather than wellness branding
  • Two unscheduled days out of seven
