Writing Courses, Holidays & Retreats in Costa Rica

Welcome to our Creative Writing Retreat in
spectacular Costa Rica!

Writing workshop at the Writing retreat

We all crave inspiration, once in a while; the time to dream, the space to think, the energy to pour into a creative project. We need to recharge, to reassert belief in ourselves and to reimagine how we see ourselves. We need to laugh, to learn new skills, to be alone when we choose to, to be part of a community when the mood takes us and to reconnect with the natural world. It’s hard to imagine a more perfect place to do all this than in our beautiful Costa Rican eco-lodge in the heart of rainforest. Luna Nueva is a world unto itself. Luxury in nature. A place for new beginnings and fresh discoveries. Come for the writing retreat. Leave with inspiration and memories to last for months and years to come.

Sound appealing? Then join us for an experience of a lifetime at our creative writing retreat near La Fortuna, Costa Rica.

Who joins our creative writing retreats?

Writers attending solo, or with family or friends. Beginners who have never written before, and novelists with manuscripts in the final stages. Writers wishing to focus entirely on their creative work, and others who combine our workshops with daily sightseeing tours. Our trip to Costa Rica is fully escorted from the moment you land in San Jose International Airport, so our creative writing retreat is ideal even for people who have not traveled before. Whoever you are, wherever you live, whatever your needs, you’re welcome.

Spotlight on our Mexican Creative Writing Retreat Destination: Luz en Yucatan, Merida!

A Creative Writing Retreat in Mexico requires a very special location. It must be somewhere relaxing, inspiring, with a wonderful ambience. It should be somewhere with ample nooks and crannies for writers to relax and write. It should have great food, appealing cocktails (!!) and staff who know how to make you feel at home. It should be quiet enough that creative writing workshops can take place in the right atmosphere, yet close enough to interesting places, so our writers can explore in the afternoons. Luz en Yucatan, the base for our creative writing retreats in Mexico, has all these things. [...]

Writing Workshop We began in the morning with a workshop on five act structure. I hadn’t expected this to be quite so meaningful to so many of our writers, but we have several people [...]
