Resting at the bay's tip and perched within the lush embrace of the jungle, the Pura Vida retreat center exudes tranquility. Imagine savoring the smells & sounds of the ocean as you gaze out at the breathtaking views from your sacred space. Organic sheets and hypoallergenic or goose down pillows, metal-free mattresses, & mosquito nets ensure a peaceful & quite possibly, the best sleep of your life!
Secluded, oceanfront accommodations offer a remarkable blend of comfort and natural beauty, inviting you to experience extraordinary vistas of the ocean. Each room is a distinctive testament to coziness and uniqueness. During our week-long sojourn, the entirety of Pura Vida is exclusively our Home, allowing an intimate experience.
Standard accommodation is double occupancy with either Two Queen Beds, or One Queen Bed, for paired sharing. If you do not have a prearranged pairing, we will strive to pair you with an apropos cohabitant. On a limited basis, single occupancy accommodation is available with a premium upcharge.
Accommodation varies from airy open spaces to snug enclosures. Seeking respite from the tropical heat? A few select offerings are equipped with air-conditioning yielding utmost comfort. Choose your level of accommodation and amenities based on the experience & price tier that resonates with you.
Enhanced by natural salt-water, the infinity pool and expansive bay-facing hot tub absolute treats, Pura Vida also provides the chance to reserve private massage or Watsu sessions on-site (additional fee applies) during our intermissions. Dedication to rustic simplicity, Pura Vida emanates a unique charm that captivates the imagination and echos the heart's melody.
Pura Vida Wellness Retreat Center is built on a steep hill with over 130 stairs leading from the main entrance and juice bar to the kitchen upstairs. Taking this into consideration, self-reliance is part of the experience. Physical practices, i.e. yoga, massage, chanting & sweat lodge are appropriate for most mobility levels.
Staying at Pura Vida Wellness Retreat Center is an experience unlike any other. Pura Vida is in the jungle on a lush tropical hillside garden just at the ocean shore.
Our gathering space has full shade complimented by a spectacular panoramic view.
