About Pura Vida Eco Retreat (Pura Vida Wellness Retreat)

Pura Vida is a non-denominational, spiritual, health-focused wellness retreat center in a tropical paradise in Mexico. Our beautiful accommodations are right by the ocean, for those seeking connection with nature and themselves. We offer a combination of an alternative health center, spiritual retreat...

Pura Vida is a non-denominational, spiritual, health-focused wellness retreat center in a tropical paradise in Mexico. Our beautiful accommodations are right by the ocean, for those seeking connection with nature and themselves. We offer a combination of an alternative health center, spiritual retreat, spa by the ocean and holistic healing therapies. Our peaceful, secluded ocean front resort is located in Yelapa, Mexico, a small bay within Puerto Vallarta Bay, accessible only by boat. It’s only 2 hour direct flight from Los Angeles or 3 hour flight from San Francisco.

Our luxurious infinity edge pools are filled directly from the ocean, and not treated with any chlorine or other chemicals. They are heated to a comfortable temperature. We have one large swimming pool perfect for swimming, stretching, and floating.

Our Watsu hot tub is heated to body temperature and has jacuzzi jets that can address tension in the body.

Watsu is a gentle form of body therapy performed in warm water, (around 35°C.) It combines elements of massage, joint mobilization, shiatsu, muscle stretching, and dance. The receiver is continuously supported while being floated, cradled, rocked, and stretched. The deeply relaxing effects of warm water and nurturing support, combine with Watsu’s movements, stretches, massage, and point work, create a bodywork with a range of therapeutic benefits and potential healing on many levels.

Moments of stillness alternate with rhythmical flowing movements, which free the body in ways impossible on land.
