Join Us in Paradise
All-Inclusive Surf and Yoga Retreats in Costa Rica
COMMUNITY: There’s something special that happens when women come together for a week of surfing, adventure and fun. You arrive from different places and backgrounds, and before long you’re cheering each other on in the waves, laughing over dinner, sharing stories and heading off on adventures together. It’s a chance to let go, try something new and connect with an incredible group of women. Many of our guests arrive solo and leave with friendships that last long after the suntans fade. It’s one of the reasons women return to PVA year after year.
ADVENTURE: Let us show you the best that Costa Rica has to offer. Join us on daily surf expeditions to palm-fringed beaches, fly through the jungle on a zip-line tour, float in a tide pool at sunset, or hop in our trusty surf van “The Yellow Submarine” for an afternoon trip to some hidden waterfalls. Or get wild like a local and rent your own ATV for the day! Our hostess will help you set up the adventure of a lifetime.
LUXURY: Our surf and yoga retreats in Costa Rica combine the thrill of travel with the comfort of having every need met. Recharge at a world-class spa, indulge in cuisine made from local ingredients, and watch the sun dip into the ocean at our beachfront lounge. Leave all your worries behind. We’re here to pamper you with the high-class amenities and service you deserve. Our caring team takes pride in making you feel like a queen!
EXPERTISE: We’re proud to provide the absolute best surf instruction Costa Rica has to offer. Our team of expert instructors follows a comprehensive surf method to design a custom plan just for you, whether you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced surfer. With years of technical expertise, they are also the ultimate cheerleaders – here to encourage, educate and guide you to success.
Our Signature Retreat
WOMEN’S SURF & YOGA RETREATS
Come for the surfing. Leave with so much more.
Pura Vida Adventures was founded on a love of surfing and a passion for sharing it with other women. Many of us started surfing when there were very few women in the water—and more than 20 years later, we still love watching women discover just how fun, empowering and life-changing surfing can be.
Whether you’ve never touched a surfboard or you’re ready to take your surfing to the next level, this week is about so much more than catching waves. It’s about challenging yourself, laughing a lot, slowing down, connecting with an incredible group of women and experiencing the magic of Costa Rica.
Surf warm waves. Practice yoga by the ocean. Explore. Make new friends. Try something that scares you a little. And go home feeling stronger, happier and more alive.
Come for the adventure. Leave with memories, friendships and a little Pura Vida that stays with you long after you’re home.

WAVE REVIEWS
“The most eloquent words that come to mind when I think about my surf camp adventure in Malpais – life changing. Pura Vida taught me how to surf, how to be tranquil, how to conquer my ocean fears and most importantly… how to enjoy life. The scenery is breathtaking, yoga and surf instruction are fabulous, accommodations are great…I came to surf camp, never having been on a surfboard. I left 7 days later “hanging 10″, meeting lifelong friends and coming away with the best experience of my life.””
