Details
What if you ended the year by coming home to yourself? Return to Pura Vida is a four-day, three-night retreat in the jungle hills above Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica, for anyone ready to close the year soft, open, and reconnected to joy. No heavy processing required. Just you, the rainforest, and a small circle of people remembering how to feel alive. We stay in a private villa wrapped in green, with a pool to plunge into and scarlet macaws that land on the rail most mornings. There is enough time to give everything room to breathe. Mornings open with breathwork and sound that settle your nervous system. Days move through connecting with nature (jungle and beaches), to wonder meditations, cold therapy, creative play, easy movement, and long stretches of open time in the sun. Evenings soften into circle around real connection. Pura vida is not just a phrase here. It is the frequency the whole place runs on. You will leave more regulated, more open, and reconnected to the wisdom that was always yours. You are the medicine. This is simply the space, and the time, to remember it. Come as you are. Begin the new year from the inside out.

You will stay together in a private villa tucked into the rainforest above Manuel Antonio, with a pool, two living rooms, ensuite bathrooms, air conditioning, daily housekeeping, and an on-site concierge. Scarlet macaws visit the railing most mornings. This is a shared home, not a hotel, and that is part of the magic. We cook, gather, rest, and play under one roof, with plenty of private space to retreat into when you need it. You will have everything you need to land, exhale, and feel held.
