A Couples Retreat in Paradise

Come Back to Each Other

May 1–6, 2027  •  Jacó Beach, Costa Rica  •  Max 12 Couples

“Every sunset marks the end of one day… and the beginning of another chance to choose each other.”

This Isn’t a Vacation.
It’s a Homecoming to Each Other.

Life gets loud. Careers, kids, calendars, the thousand quiet compromises of a shared life — somewhere in all of it, the two of you can drift into roommates who love each other but forget to reach for each other.

For six days on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, you get to put all of it down.

No schedules to manage.
No decisions to make. 

Just you, your person, other couples on the same journey, and hosts who have built every moment to bring you back to the reason you said yes in the first place.


You’ll reconnect over shared adventure, reflect on the story you’ve written together, release what you’re ready to leave behind — and renew your promise to each other as the sun goes down over the water.

Don’t Just Plan a Trip — Choose Each Other Again

This retreat isn’t just a getaway — it’s an intentional experience designed to help you reconnect, reflect, and fall for each other all over again. Here’s what the two of you will experience in Costa Rica:

Reconnect in Paradise

Escape the noise and slow all the way down together in the breathtaking beauty of Costa Rica. From beachfront sunset dinners to a catamaran cruise on the Pacific, every moment is built to help you exhale — and turn back toward each other.

Adventure, Side by Side

Say yes to something new, together. An ATV waterfall adventure, waterfalls to swim in, a couples cooking class and mixology night — shared experiences that remind you how good you are as a team.

Renew & Remember

Go somewhere real.

Through daily LoveWork, guided Fire Pit reflection sessions, and an elegant private vow-renewal ceremony, you’ll release what’s weighing you down and recommit to the life you’re building together.

Frequently Asked Questions (faq's)

How is the weather in Costa Rica?

May falls within Costa Rica’s green season (or rainy season), but don’t let that deter you! Mornings are typically sunny and warm, with temperatures ranging from 75°F to 85°F (24°C to 29°C). Afternoon showers are common, but they’re usually brief and refreshing, cooling off the lush rainforests and adding to the tropical charm.

What should I pack for the retreat?

We recommend packing:

  • Lightweight, breathable clothing for warm weather
  • A rain jacket or poncho for afternoon showers
  • Comfortable shoes for walking and hiking
  • Swimwear 
  • A reusable water bottle to stay hydrated
  • Sunscreen, insect repellent, and a hat
  • A journal for reflection and note-taking
  • Any personal wellness items 

Are dietary restrictions accommodated?

Yes! Our private chef can accommodate dietary restrictions, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and other needs. Please let us know your requirements when you register so we can prepare accordingly.

Will there be free time during the retreat?

Yes! While the itinerary is thoughtfully planned to include wellness activities, excursions, and group discussions, there’s also plenty of free time to relax, explore, or enjoy the retreat grounds. Whether you want to journal by the pool, take a nap, or connect with fellow guests, the choice is yours!

Do I need to bring cash or exchange currency? Are credit cards accepted

Most of your expenses will be covered, including gratuities, but it you want to do a little extra shopping, US dollars and credit cards are generally accepted in all areas. It is recommended that you bring denominations of $20 or less as higher denominations are often not accepted in local shops and markets. If you do spend US dollars, keep in mind that you will receive your change in Costa Rican colones.  If you plan to use a credit card, make sure your card does not charge foreign transaction fees.

Do I need shots to get into Costa Rica?

No. No special vaccinations are needed for visits to Costa Rica.

What happens if you keep waiting for “someday”?

  • The Drift Continues: Without intentional time together, the busyness wins and the distance quietly grows.
  • Missed Moments: You’ll miss the chance to trade the daily grind for real connection, adventure, and time that belongs only to the two of you.
  • Postponed Healing: The conversations you keep meaning to have stay unspoken, and the reset you both need keeps getting pushed to next year.

Life won’t slow down on its own. This is your invitation to stop, choose each other, and come back home to your relationship.

What You’ll Take Home:

  • A Reconnected Relationship: Renewed closeness, better conversations, and a fresh sense of “us.”
  • Tools You’ll Keep Using: The LoveWork prompts and Fire Pit reflections become rituals you can bring home.
  • Unforgettable Memories: Stunning professional photos and video from your vow-renewal ceremony, plus your printed Couples Photo Journey album.
  • A Renewed Promise: You’ll leave having chosen each other again — out loud, on the coast, and on purpose.
  • A Piece of Costa Rica: Souvenirs and memories from your time in this tropical paradise.

Meet Your Hosts —
Tra & Larry Stewart

If you already follow Tra & Larry, you know them as the married couple behind Just the Stewarts — the faith-filled, funny, refreshingly honest voice on family and marriage that hundreds of thousands of people invite into their feed every week. The road-trip bits. The kitchen debates. The “who really runs this house” moments. The reminders that a strong marriage is built, not stumbled into.

But behind the humor is a real story: decades of choosing each other, doing the hard work, rebuilding when it wasn’t easy, and staying intentional about love long after the wedding day. That’s the heart of everything they create — and it’s the heart of this retreat.


Sunsets & Second Chances is Tra & Larry taking what they share online and making it real, in person, on the coast of Costa Rica. For six days, they’ll host just eight couples through the same rhythm that keeps their own marriage strong: faith and family, laughter, honest conversation, and the daily choice to keep reaching for each other.

This is a one-of-a-kind retreat.

Travel Plans

Flights Are Not Included
You’ll need to arrange your own flights to Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) in San José, Costa Rica. Make sure your passport is valid for the entire length of your stay, and you’ll need to show proof of a return flight upon arrival.

Optional Early Arrival or Extended Stay
If you’d like to avoid the morning rush, you can fly in a day early and spend the night near the airport. Hotels like the Hampton by Hilton or Marriott offer free shuttles to SJO, or you can explore budget-friendly options like Airbnb (some as low as $25 per night). This is a great opportunity to rest, relax, and maybe even explore San José before the retreat begins!

The same applies for your departure—if you’d like to extend your stay in Costa Rica, we’re happy to help with recommendations.

Before you travel, double-check that your passport meets the following requirements:


  • Validity: Your passport must be valid for the entire length of your stay.
  • Blank Pages: Ensure you have at least one blank page for entry stamps.
  • Tourist Visa: Not required for stays under 180 days, but you must have a return ticket.
