Our Story
“A collaboration born from friendship, passion, and the pursuit of balance.”
At Sol & Apricus, we believe that true wellness is a blend of movement, nourishment, and connection — with ourselves, with others, and with the world around us. Our team came together through shared experiences, a love of travel, and the desire to create retreats that feel deeply personal, transformative, and joyfully human.
Our Philosophy
Eat well. Move well. Live well — together.
At Sol & Apricus Retreats, we believe wellness is not a trend or a temporary escape — it’s a lifestyle built through movement, nourishment, and meaningful human connection. Our retreats are designed to strengthen your body, clarify your mind, and help you rediscover the joy of being fully alive.
Movement as Medicine
Fitness that makes you stronger, faster, younger, and more resilient. We don’t limit wellness to yoga or meditation — we focus on the full spectrum of functional fitness and intelligent movement.
Nourish to Flourish
Food that fuels your body, balances your hormones, and supports healthy aging. We believe what you eat is the foundation of your well-being. Every dish we serve is crafted to nourish your cells, support performance, and promote longevity and metabolic health — without ever sacrificing taste or joy.
Community & Mental Wellness
Your environment shapes your energy. Your people shape your life. We believe mental health thrives when you’re surrounded by people who inspire, challenge, and uplift you. That’s why we keep our retreats small and intimate (max 10 guests).
Our Vision
To craft transformative journeys that nourish the body, inspire the spirit, and celebrate the art of living well. From the sun-drenched beaches of Costa Rica to the golden hills of Tuscany, we curate experiences that go beyond relaxation — inviting you to move, explore, connect, and rediscover what it feels like to truly be alive.
Our Mission
Our mission is to create a space where you can reset your body, recharge your mind, and rediscover the power of community—while exploring breathtaking destinations that inspire health, joy, and meaningful transformation.
Naomi Wang — Yoga Instructor & Costa Rica Host
Naomi is the heart and sunshine of our Costa Rican retreats. A registered yoga instructor and part-time resident of Costa Rica, she knows the country’s rhythms, hidden gems, and local culture like few others do.
Her teaching style is intuitive, playful, and restorative — inviting guests of all levels to move with ease and presence. Whether guiding a sunrise flow on the beach or leading a gentle stretch under the jungle canopy, Naomi brings her signature warmth and grace to every moment.
She’s young, vibrant, and endlessly accommodating — the kind of person who makes everyone feel at home, no matter how far they’ve traveled.
Angela James — Mindful Movement Instructor & Tuscany Retreat Host
Angela is the grounding force of Sol & Apricus. With years of experience hosting wellness and movement retreats across Tuscany, she brings a deep understanding of how to balance energy, endurance, and mindfulness.
Her approach to “mindful movement” draws inspiration from natural biomechanics — helping guests rediscover the joy of running, walking, and moving with flow and intention.
A passionate traveler, coach, and lifelong learner, Angela designs each experience to nurture the body while freeing the mind. Her retreats are restorative, inspiring, and always infused with her signature authenticity and passion to life.
Gillian Song — Experience Designer & Co-Founder
Gillian first met Naomi in Costa Rica while attending one of her retreats — and was instantly captivated by the experience: the beauty of the villa, the warmth of the people, the fresh tropical meals prepared by a private chef, and the effortless sense of connection.
Having worked extensively in design and hospitality, Gillian saw the potential to merge Naomi’s magic with Angela’s movement philosophy — combining expertise, aesthetics, and world-class logistics to create a new kind of retreat: luxury wellness with soul.
Together, they form the creative and operational heart of Sol & Apricus Retreats — designing experiences that are both beautifully curated and profoundly human.

3-10 October 2026
Perched on the mist-shrouded slopes of the cloud forest, our Costa Rica sanctuary offers the perfect blend of mindful movement, holistic nutrition, and deep immersion in nature’s rhythms. Each dawn is welcomed with serene yoga on our open-air terrace, your practice framed by the awakening canopy. This flows seamlessly into mindful running along hidden forest trails, where the path itself becomes a meditation, and every breath is filled with the earth’s green fragrance. Our meals are crafted from just-harvested ingredients, designed to energize the body and calm the mind. It's a sensory reconnection to the elements.
This is your invitation to come align your breath with the mountain mists.
