icon

Located just outside Los Angeles in the picturesque hills of Westlake Village, the Four Seasons Westlake Village offers a rare blend of luxury and tranquility. It’s close enough to the city to be convenient, but far enough to provide the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle. Whether you’re looking to reset your health at the start of the new year or anytime throughout the year, this serene retreat promises an unparalleled wellness experience. With its wide array of wellness retreats, immersive programs, and a dedicated partnership with the esteemed CURE Medical, Four Seasons Westlake Village is the ultimate destination for rejuvenation.

A Perfect Location for a Wellness Retreat

Situated in the heart of Southern California, Four Seasons Westlake Village is an idyllic destination for those seeking relaxation, healing, and balance. Just a short drive from Los Angeles, you can easily access this peaceful retreat while still being close to all the excitement of the city. Its lush, expansive grounds and serene ambiance create a sanctuary where you can truly disconnect and focus on your well-being.

Wellness Stays vs. Wellness Retreats: What's the Difference?

At Four Seasons Westlake Village, the distinction between a wellness stay and a wellness retreat is key to tailoring your experience based on your goals.

  • Wellness Stays are ideal for those who want to experience the resort’s world-class wellness offerings but on their own schedule. With a wellness stay, you can enjoy a customized experience, choosing from a range of services including spa treatments, fitness classes, healthy dining options, and access to the resort’s wellness facilities. This is the perfect option for those seeking to relax, recharge, and maintain balance while still enjoying the flexibility of a traditional luxury hotel experience.
  • Wellness Retreats, on the other hand, are more immersive, structured programs designed for individuals looking for a more in-depth experience. These retreats typically span multiple days (often 3 to 4), and are centered around specific wellness themes—such as mindfulness, detoxification, stress relief, or physical fitness. Whether you’re looking to reset your body or clear your mind, these retreats offer an intensive and transformative experience guided by expert practitioners, holistic therapies, and customized nutrition plans. The Four Seasons offers a variety of retreats designed to address specific needs, from weight loss to mindfulness, and everything in between.

The Cure Medical Partnership: Elevating Your Wellness Journey

One of the most unique aspects of Four Seasons Westlake Village is its partnership with CURE Medical, a renowned wellness center also established in Malibu. This collaboration brings cutting-edge medical wellness treatments directly to the resort. With CURE Medical’s presence onsite, you can access advanced therapies designed to optimize your health and vitality.

Whether you’re seeking treatments that focus on rejuvenation, recovery, or preventative care, the medical team from CURE Medical offers a comprehensive range of services that complement the resort’s holistic offerings. From personalized medical consultations to specialized treatments such as regenerative therapies, IV hydration, and biohacking, the goal is to help you feel your best, inside and out. This partnership ensures that your wellness journey is both luxurious and scientifically grounded, offering the best of both worlds.

The Experience

Looking for the perfect luxury retreat in Costa Rica? Look no further than the beautiful Four Seasons Resort Costa Rica at Peninsula Papagayo. The resort is located on the northwest Pacific Coast and is just 30 minutes from the international airport, making it a great option for families that need a quick getaway. But once you arrive, we promise you may never want to leave!

Whether you’re staying for three nights or thirteen, you won’t find more comfortable rooms in Costa Rica. The 146 rooms and suites were recently renovated, tastefully incorporating indigenous art, local wood, and rich natural elements. Spacious private terraces overlook the rainforest or the bay, complete with comfy seating that’s absolutely perfect for watching the sunrise with a cup of coffee. Traveling with a larger family or friends? Ask us about the Prieta Bay Residences, offering a home-away-from-home with full kitchens and private pools.

Costa Rica is a great destination to combine beach bum relaxation and outdoor adventure, and the Four Seasons is no exception. The resort offers a variety of daily activities (many complimentary!) ranging from paddle boarding and kayaking to chocolate rum tasting and mixology classes. Relax in one of the three swimming pools or enjoy time down at the beach. Golfers absolutely love the 18-hole par-72 championship Arnold Palmer golf course, but trust us – everyone will want to check it out! The Four Seasons Costa Rica staff lead quick nature trips through the course in the evenings by golf cart, when you’re most likely to see wildlife like monkeys roaming around. Whatever you choose to do, you’ll be living the “pura vida” lifestyle!

Good to know: While the resort is very family-friendly, some of the rooms feature cliffside pools or walkways. Your River Oaks Travel Concierge can help you pick the perfect category for your family.

We also recommend visiting the serene spa for a treatment (we recommend the traditional hammam ritual!). While you’re there, take advantage of some of the fitness classes. Morning yoga overlooking the bay is perfect for centering yourself, or schedule a one-on-one ayurvedic session with a wellness ambassador to identify your primal nature.

Of course, somewhere between your adventuring and relaxing you’ll need to eat. At the Four Seasons Costa Rica, you have the choice of four different restaurants that all feature world-class locally-sourced organic cuisine. Anejo is our favorite – Latin-style tapas, great cocktails, and fun music turn the restaurant into a lively hot spot in the evenings. For an elegant evening, dine at Pesce with their classic Italian cuisine, featuring local seafood, pastas and an extensive wine list (plus great views of the ocean!). Families in particular will love the all-day casual dining at Pesce, or venture down to the golf course for the creative cuisine at Nemare.
