A Private Retreat — Dorada, Costa Rica

Costa Rica · November 2026 · Four Days

The Proposition

An ultra-premium four-day retreat at a private villa above the Pacific. Two of the most decorated names in their fields — Ben Greenfield on biohacking, Tyson McGuffin on pickleball — alongside ten partner guests for four days.

Personalized training, custom nutrition, recovery protocols, and the kind of access that does not exist anywhere else.

The Place

Dorada — a private villa in the mountains above the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. An infinity pool reaches the cliff edge. The pickleball court was built specifically for this retreat. Helicopter from San José is fifteen minutes; the alternative is a two-hour mountain drive.

On-site: gym, two saunas, cold plunges, courtyard with a fountain, a movie theater. Mediterranean-inspired architecture under jungle canopy.

A Rhythm, Not a Schedule

Mornings open with movement under Ben — calisthenic work, breath, light cardio in the courtyard. Court time with Tyson is staggered so no one waits in line. Afternoons are recovery — cold plunge, sauna, peptide protocols, IV lounge. Meals are designed by Ben and executed by a private chef sourcing locally.

Talks happen in the courtyard or by the pool — the curriculum is Ben's; he will deliver the schedule once the equipment list is settled.

A Starting Point

Everything in this document is a starting point following the first conversation. Not a locked-in blueprint. Ben and Tyson have the final say on how the retreat is structured — programming, schedule, overall flow. Jay and Vince provide operational and financial infrastructure.

Nothing here is fixed. Add, remove, or rethink anything — including extending the retreat by an extra day of guest activities if that strengthens the offering. The goal is to build the best possible experience together.
