Hotel

It is no mystery why Costa Rica is considered one of the happiest places on earth. From the dawn of time, humans in search of health, healing and wellness have been drawn to the active volcanic regions of the earth.

Tucked serenely in the clouds above San José and surrounded by hot natural springs, Pura Vida Retreat & Spa is alive with natural beauty and healing energy. In everything from the unique treatments on offer at The Wellness Centre through to the diverse range of eco-adventures available, the luxury health spa retreat celebrates the authentic healing spirit of Costa Rica.

Here, you’ll be uplifted by the simple pleasures of watching colorful birds and butterflies, the magic of walking through coffee plantations and rainforest canopies, and eating fresh local herbs grown in the soils of Pura Vida Retreat & Spa’s holistic garden.
