🌺 Reconnect with the Wild, Reconnect with Yourself
There is a quiet power in stepping into the unknown. For many women, solo travel represents far more than a change of scenery—it’s a declaration of independence, a healing journey, and a reawakening of the soul. In Costa Rica, where lush jungle meets warm Pacific tide, Drift Away Lodge offers a sanctuary where women can exhale, feel safe, and truly come alive.
Nestled in the small surf town of Playa Avellanas in Guanacaste, Drift Away is a boutique eco-lodge that blends comfort with consciousness. It was built for travelers who crave not just rest, but meaningful restoration—the kind of travel that slows you down, grounds you in nature, and reminds you of who you are beneath the noise.
🛡️ Is Costa Rica Safe for Solo Female Travelers?
Costa Rica is widely known as one of the safest countries in Central America, and many women travel here solo every year. What makes the experience at Drift Away Lodge especially empowering is the thoughtful support and community we provide for solo women.
From the moment you arrive, you’re welcomed like family. Our bilingual team is always available for questions, support, or simply sharing a sunset cocktail. The grounds are gated and quiet, the neighborhood is laid-back and walkable, and our trusted local drivers make solo navigation stress-free.
Safety at Drift Away isn’t just physical—it’s emotional. This is a place where women are seen, heard, and held in kindness.
🌴 A Natural Paradise That Nourishes
Nature is your constant companion at Drift Away. Wake up to the sound of howler monkeys calling from the trees. Sip fresh Costa Rican coffee in your hammock as butterflies dance past. Walk barefoot along sandy paths to the beach. Every step is an invitation to slow down and return to the rhythms of the earth.
Costa Rica is rich in biodiversity, and Playa Avellanas is no exception. From nesting sea turtles and tidal estuaries to wild orchids and towering palms, the abundance of life here mirrors the abundance waiting to be discovered within yourself.
Our guests often tell us that it's not just the activities that heal them—it’s the quiet moments in nature that whisper truths they didn’t know they’d forgotten.
🍽️ Chef-Driven Dining That Fuels the Soul
Every paid night at Drift Away includes a chef-prepared breakfast, featuring local tropical fruit, warm pastries, Costa Rican coffee, and our beloved elevated Gallo Pinto—a classic national dish of rice, beans, and herbs.
Looking to indulge a little deeper? With advance notice, we also offer a custom 5-course personalized dinner designed by our in-house chef. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone or simply savoring the moment, we’ll create an unforgettable dining experience tailored to your tastes, dietary needs, and sense of adventure.
At Drift Away, food isn’t just fuel—it’s a ceremony of nourishment, connection, and joy.
🧘♀️ Healing and Soul Work, the Drift Away Way
At Drift Away, we believe in the deep importance of restorative time alone—and we also believe in offering gentle experiences that help you reconnect with your body, spirit, and joy.
Every solo stay can be customized to include wellness offerings such as:
- Sunrise or sunset yoga in our open-air studio
- Breathwork or guided meditation
- Chair yoga or sound healing
- Therapeutic massage, reiki, or bodywork
- Painting under the stars led by local artists
- A Costa Rican cooking class focused on native ingredients and traditional techniques
These aren’t tourist experiences—they’re soulful invitations to learn, grow, and rediscover what lights you up inside.
🐎 Adventure on Your Own Terms
Not every solo traveler comes to Drift Away to rest. Some come to reignite their fire.
For the woman who wants adventure, Costa Rica offers a playground of wild beauty—and Drift Away helps you explore it safely, joyfully, and with purpose.
Here are just a few ways our solo guests have ventured out:
- Horseback rides along the beach at low tide, discovering secret coves and sea life
- Surf lessons with local female instructors, empowering and beginner-friendly
- Stand-up paddleboarding through quiet mangroves teeming with birds
- Hikes to waterfalls, volcanoes, and hot springs, guided by naturalists
- Wildlife boat tours or guided trips to local conservation centers
We connect you only with vetted local guides and ethical tours, so you never have to figure it out alone—or worry about your safety.
🧭 The Power of the Digital Detox
Today’s world demands that we be “on” all the time. That’s why Drift Away offers something rare: the permission to turn everything off.
Unplug your devices. Forget your deadlines. Reconnect with what actually matters—the sound of waves, the feeling of wind on your skin, the taste of just-picked fruit, the rhythm of your own breath.
Here, a digital detox isn’t a challenge—it’s a luxury. Many of our solo guests say it’s the first time they’ve felt truly present in years.
