Discover Serenity by the Sea
Staying at Pura Vida Wellness Retreat is truly a one-of-a-kind experience. Nestled in a lush jungle and tropical garden on a hillside overlooking the ocean, most rooms offer breathtaking views of the sea and Yelapa Bay, with many built just above the shoreline.
This retreat center is dedicated to meditation, healing, spiritual awakening, and personal transformation, offering a fully alcohol- and substance-free environment. This intentional space allows you to fully reset, refresh, and connect with your inner self. Rejuvenate in a chemical-free saltwater pool — a sanctuary that nurtures your body and soothes your soul.
Many rooms feature an open-air design with three walls, providing privacy, security, and fresh, unpolluted air alongside stunning views of the ocean and jungle. Sleep soundly on organic, metal-free mattresses, hypoallergenic pillows, and organic sheets, complete with mosquito nets for comfort.
Please note: Pura Vida is built on a steep hill with over 130 stairs from the main entrance and juice bar to the kitchen upstairs. Guests with recent knee surgery, hip replacements, sprained ankles, or other mobility concerns should take this into consideration.
