“From the first day, this retreat felt like an escape into paradise. The moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by our amazing hosts, Cristina, Sander, and their sweet fur baby, Tico. The highlight of the retreat was the homemade food cooked with a lot of love and authentic flavors. And also the homemade bread! In our free time we had a lot of fulfilling conversations with the group and we did the ice bath which was amazing. Cristina and Sander actually went above and beyond to ensure that each guest had a very personalized experience; it was unforgettable! They were trying to accommodate us as much as possible. If you are seeking an adventure or simply want to escape into a peaceful retreat, this center has something for everyone.”
"One of the first memories that comes to my mind when I think of our stay at Selvatica, is the breathtaking view you get when you first walk into the main building. It suddenly makes you feel like everything that you were worried about melts away and with the sounds of the rainforest, you truly do feel present - for the first time in a long time. the main building and dining area is stunning. I couldn't wait to wake up and walk back through it everyday. Our room was lovely, cozy, minimalistic and had everything we hoped for and needed. When it came to the food, you bet Cristina and Sander whipped up the most incredible feast. Each meal was lovingly crafted and absolutely divine. From Indian curries, to Southeast Asian delights, the food matched the gorgeous surroundings and atmosphere. I could eat there every single day of my life and be happy. The property is evolving and lovely to meander through, especially during a quiet and fresh morning. Walking down to the pool and laying in the hot afternoon sun was such a time to look forward to after each day. I loved our experience at Selvatica and would recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful stay, incredible food, and wonderful people.
The retreat was very special for me. This retreat was to honour my baby being brought to us in this sacred land. I don’t know exactly when, but I remember I posted on Facebook looking for a retreat center and the stars aligned, but you messaged me and I just felt it. This was the perfect place all along. This has been by far the best and most perfect retreat I’ve ever hosted. You both are light beings and are so special. Everything has been magical. Thank you, thank you, thank you. May you always be abundant. Love, Maia
