What Is a Quietcation? Why Ylang Ylang Beach Resort Is the Ideal Destination

A quietcation is a promise you make to rest, restore, and reconnect. At Ylang Ylang Beach Resort, we honor that promise by blending nature, comfort, and heart. You’ll hear the waves and taste the salt in the breeze while peace surrounds you. Here at Ylang Ylang, we remind you to let go and simply be present. That’s the rhythm of life, and it’s waiting for you.

A quietcation is exactly what it sounds like: a vacation centered around peace and quiet. It’s not only about reading a book by the pool or napping in the sun. It’s a deliberate choice to unplug, recharge, and trade busyness for balance. At Ylang Ylang Beach Resort, we love how every detail here supports that rhythm.

Breathtaking natural beauty sets the stage. Our beaches feel untouched. Soft sand meets turquoise water, and palm trees sway. The rainforest hums with life, colorful birds flutter past, and monkeys chatter in the distance. Every moment outdoors reminds you that slowing down is natural and necessary.

...it means intentional. Our accommodations combine comfort with character, whether you choose a bungalow, cabina, or treetop canopy. Each has modern amenities, private balconies, and views of the ocean or jungle. You get space to rest, but never feel removed from the beauty around you.

Food is also part of the quietcation experience. Our restaurant celebrates Costa Rica’s flavors with fresh, local ingredients. The menu highlights everything from classic Costa Rican favorites to creative vegetarian and vegan dishes. Every meal feels nourishing, colorful, and made with care.

When you crave adventure, you’ll find it woven into the calm. You can paddle out for surfing lessons, join an ATV ride, or spend an afternoon fishing. Adventure doesn’t rush you here; it unfolds gently, on your terms.

True stillness often comes with wellness.

Beachfront yoga, soothing spa treatments, or a quiet afternoon poolside gives you space to tune inward. We use natural, locally sourced ingredients in every treatment, so relaxation feels both authentic and healing.

The heart of a quietcation at Ylang Ylang is peace, balance, and joy in every detail.

Our spa in Montezuma is a space where relaxation meets nature. We offer different unique spa packages, each one combining favorite treatments to leave you refreshed and glowing. Guests love how every detail feels personal, from the welcome drink to the final moment of calm.

Spend three hours in total bliss. Your visit begins with a tropical welcome juice and a short resort orientation. Then enjoy a holistic therapeutic massage followed by a Kobido facial massage. Afterward, sip a fruit shake beside the pool, where you can linger as long as you like.

Four hours of pure indulgence await. Start with a gentle introductory massage, then savor a fresh a la carte lunch. Next, a back polish, rejuvenating facial, and a nourishing green drink by the pool complete your day. Pool access extends into the afternoon, so you can stretch the experience as long as you wish.

This package focuses on restoring tired muscles and recharging your energy. Over two and a half hours, enjoy a neck and back massage, a revitalizing leg massage, and a long, soothing hot stone session. The Vitality Massage Special is the perfect choice after long flights or busy weeks.

Booking is simple, shoot us an email with your preferred package, date, and time. We’ll happily arrange everything so you can focus only on relaxing.

Food is the heart of our resort. When you dine with us, you’re family. We serve healthy, locally sourced meals made with care, flavor, and the freshest ingredients. Our team pours love into every plate, so dining here feels both nourishing and joyful.

We’re proud to use organic produce whenever possible. Our international menus celebrate diversity while honoring individual lifestyles and dietary needs. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are about choice, balance, and vibrant flavors.
