Our Story

Born from
the beach itself

Mar Dorado was born from a simple truth: the most profound healing happens where the land meets the sea. Our practitioners are Costa Rican women who grew up along these shores β€” their touch carries the warmth of Guanacaste, the rhythm of the Pacific, and a deep intuition that no classroom can teach.

🌿

Traditional Technique

A uniquely Costa Rican approach blending intuitive pressure work with the grounding energy of the Pacific coast.

πŸ“

On the Sand, Under the Sky

No spa walls. Just open air, the sound of waves, and the feeling of warm ocean breeze on your skin.

♻️

Community First

Every booking directly supports local women and their families β€” tourism that gives back to the land it loves.

Good to Know

Your questions, answered

Where exactly do I meet my practitioner? +
After booking, you'll receive a confirmation email with a precise meeting point on the beach (look for the Mar Dorado umbrella and mat setup). Your practitioner will be there 10 minutes before your session begins. WhatsApp contact is included for any last-minute questions.
What should I bring or wear? +
Come in your swimwear β€” that's all you need. We provide a clean towel and mat. You may want to apply sunscreen 30 minutes before your session. We also recommend drinking water beforehand and avoiding heavy meals in the hour prior.
What if it rains or weather is poor? +
Guanacaste is one of the driest regions in Costa Rica β€” rain is rare, especially in dry season (December–April). However, if weather prevents your session, we'll reschedule to any available slot at no charge, or issue a full refund.
Can I book same-day? +
Yes β€” we welcome same-day bookings subject to availability (2 practitioners per hour). We recommend booking at least a few hours in advance to secure your preferred time, especially for the popular 10am–12pm window.
Is the sunrise massage really worth it? +
Every guest who has done the sunrise session calls it the highlight of their Costa Rica trip. The beach is empty, the light is extraordinary, and there's a stillness to the morning that amplifies the entire experience. It's $100 well spent β€” and something you'll remember for years.
How do international payments work? +
All payments are processed securely via Stripe in USD. We accept all major US and international credit and debit cards including Visa, Mastercard, and American Express. No additional international fees are charged by Mar Dorado (though your card issuer may apply standard foreign transaction fees).

The Pacific is waiting.
