“Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass,

it’s about learning to dance in the rain”

Given our unique & private location and the facilities our little jungle retreat offers, Pura Vida Ecolodge has been the perfect choice for a host of magical elopements, boutique weddings, special anniversary celebrations and reconnecting retreats.

As a sustainable eco-luxury retreat, we work closely with exclusively Costa Rican suppliers and can help you coordinate with Photographers, Videographers, Musicians, Private Chefs, Make-up Artists & Hair Stylists, Wedding Officiant as well as Holistic Therapists, Yoga & Dance Therapists and even Psychedelic Journeying Facilitators which together with the experience up at Pura Vida Ecolodge, will be sure to provide a magical and unforgettable experience from start to finish. Please drop us an email for more information, prices and availability.

your Retreat, your Lifestyle and your Experience.

Depending on the nature of your event, we can provide (and recommend) a selection of really special locations both within the grounds of Pura Vida Ecolodge, on our doorstep in Tres Rios and throughout Costa Rica’s wild Zona Sur. Nauyaca Falls has been an especially popular location with our honeymooners and newlyweds.

If you’re looking for a life changing experience, the organic design and wild setting of Pura Vida Ecolodge and the surrounding nature reserve provides the perfect setting for what might be the next step in your life. Psychedelic journeying and integration, done in ritual and reverence, and guided by a curious heart and our experienced facilitators & therapists, can prove to be a very potent tool for self-discovery, healing and re-wilding.

Whether you want to try out our Contrast Hydrotherapy Jungle Tubs, a relaxing facial, body scrub or wrap with a choice of organic coffee, chocolate & coconut or Green Tea & Apricot Seed, Japhet is our holistic therapist from Uvita. The perfect indulgent treat for the occasion awaits as Japhet (also a very qualified massage therapist) offers guests deep-tissue massages with a selection of organic essential oils (raw coconut oil seems to be the favourite for its well known health benefits), on her massage beds in the shade under the guava tree by the plunge pool or down in the Alfresco Lounge.
