For 21 years, Pura Vida Adventures has been a space of powerful transformation for women of all ages, backgrounds, and life stages. Our all-inclusive women’s surf and yoga retreats in Costa Rica are more than a vacation. They are a return to yourself—body, heart, and soul.

If you’re searching for a life-changing wellness retreat for women, here’s what we’ve learned after welcoming over 3000 incredible guests: you don’t have to be ready, perfect, or experienced to say yes. You just have to show up.

More Than a Wellness Getaway: A Place to Remember Who You Are

Whether you arrive burned out, celebrating a birthday, post-breakup, or just craving space to breathe, our surf and yoga retreats for women offer the freedom and support to be your full self.

In our little slice of paradise in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica, you’ll: – Learn to surf (even if you’ve never touched a board) – Deepen your yoga practice under swaying palms – Connect with other women in honest, joyful ways – Eat nourishing meals prepared with love – Feel strong, beautiful, and alive again

“I didn’t know how much I needed this until I was here. This retreat changed the way I see myself.” — Glenda Branch, 2023

Designed by Women, For Women

From day one, our mission has been to create a safe, empowering retreat for women travelers. We’ve hosted mothers and daughters, solo adventurers, best friends, and women over 50 discovering their next chapter.

We believe in: – Surfing without ego – Yoga without pressure – Growth without judgment – Adventure with intention

Every instructor, guide, and staff member is here to support you. This is your time.
