re:set for your rhythm
re:center is a design-forward wellness sanctuary for the modern traveler — a place to slow down, re:set, and come back to yourself. Located where the mountains meet the sea, we offer eight unique lodging options and a world-class wellness club featuring contrast therapy, red light, a fully equipped gym, and guided classes grounded in nervous system regulation. Our chefs personalize meals to your biology. Our concierge anticipates what you’ll need before you ask. Every detail — from the architecture to the programming — is crafted with one thing in mind: your re:set.
The Story of ReCenter
re:center began as a personal turning point.
Founder Ben Lee spent years building some of the world’s most recognizable digital brands. On paper, he was winning — leading big teams, landing big clients. But inside, he was depleted. There was no room for stillness, breath, or the body. Success came at the cost of his health.
This space is the result of that journey — a merging of design, nature, and deep wellness. A place built not for optimization, but for restoration. Not to escape life, but to reimagine it.
Today, Ben works with other high performers — founders, athletes, executives — helping them trade burnout for presence. Not as a guru, but as someone who’s walked the path.
re:center is his invitation to soften, to slow down, and to reimagine what life could feel like — by listening, not being told.
re:center isn’t a retreat or a hotel.
It’s where you co-create your own rhythm — not follow someone else’s.
We’re located in one of the most exclusive and beautiful corners of Costa Rica — just a 25-minute domestic flight or a scenic drive from San José (SJO) or Liberia (LIR) Our team will help with every step of the journey.

the philosophy behind re:center & our culture
Born from burnout, but rooted in rhythm, we built this sanctuary for those who lead, hold, and create. A place to soften the edges, reset the nervous system, and remember what aliveness feels like.
Here, rest isn’t weakness. It’s the medicine.
Health over Hustle
We believe rest is productive. Our spaces are designed to slow you down so you can return to life more aligned, more creative, and more alive
Community, Your Way
Whether you’re here to connect deeply or go inward quietly, re:center meets you where you are at. Community is at the core, but connection is always on your terms.
Curation over chaos
From the people to the playlists to the furniture—we put care into every detail. Everything here is intentional, so that your nervous system can feel the difference.
Presence over Performance
This is a space to unplug, unwind, and be fully here—not to prove anything, post everything, or chase productivity for its own sake.
Integration over Extremes
We believe in balance. That’s why we offer mezcal and meditation, work sprints and hammock time. True transformation sticks when it’s integrated.
