Play & Restore
Move. Rest. Pura Vida.
Welcome to Costa Rica! Here Pura Vida, or pure life, defines everything. Life slows down, you appreciate nature, and you can relish the moment.
During this week you’ll have time to play in the natural pools while monkeys play in the trees above you. You can test out every hammock on the site and enjoy their unique views. You can enjoy a massage in a treehouse open to the jungle breeze.
You’ll hike to waterfalls tucked into private jungle farmland, sail Lake Arenal at sunset in full view of the volcano, and explore the treetops on hanging bridges or ziplines. You can visit restorative hot springs, dance to a live marimba band, and enjoy the most delicious Italian and Costa Rican meals in Mystica’s restaurant.
One week to embody Pura Vida.
