Lifestyle Publication Showcases Costa Rica’s Sustainable Mountaintop Retreat

VIE Magazine features Lamangata Luxury Surf Resort in its January 2026 issue, profiling the six-suite mountaintop property as a model for adventure and wellness travel in Costa Rica’s Osa Peninsula.

Published under the headline “A Sustainable Costa Rican Retreat,” the feature details Lamangata’s position 1,200 feet above the Pacific Ocean, its proximity to world-class surf breaks in Dominical, and its commitment to solar-powered operations and water recycling systems. The article explores the resort’s personalized surf coaching program, which uses video and drone analysis to accelerate learning, alongside its chef-crafted menus tailored to individual dietary preferences.

VIE Magazine highlighted the resort’s curated wellness offerings, including in-suite massages, yoga sessions in multiple styles, and access to nearby wellness centers. The feature also profiled the property’s design, noting the floor-to-ceiling glass doors in each suite that open to private terraces with panoramic jungle and coastline views.

“Lamangata was carefully designed in harmony with nature with a strong commitment to sustainability,” says Debbie Gruelle, founder and designer of Lamangata. “Our hope is that after a week of surfing secluded breaks and reconnecting with the ocean, guests leave feeling grounded and inspired by this extraordinary region.”

The VIE Magazine feature arrives as Lamangata continues to position itself within the regenerative luxury travel movement, offering travelers a combination of expert surf instruction, intimate accommodations, and environmental stewardship in one of Costa Rica’s most biodiverse regions.
