Created by a global couple who traded city life for jungle sunsets, this project is run by a passionate crew of locals and long-time expats. Their mission? To help people ditch screens, reconnect to nature, and rediscover joy. With surf instructors, dance teachers, guides, and massage therapists, their team brings the pura vida lifestyle to life—through community, laughter, and shared adventures.
Set near the vibrant Manuel Antonio region of Costa Rica, the experience unfolds between beaches, jungle trails, and wildlife-rich coastline. Just minutes from bars, markets, and national parks, the area offers a perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. It’s a lush escape where sloths chill in trees and howler monkeys soundtrack your mornings.
This experience is all about real connection—with nature, with people, and with yourself. Travelers help protect sea turtles, support a local team, and swap screen time for soul time. It’s about feeling alive, giving back, and dancing barefoot under the stars.
Through healthy meals, physical activities like surfing and hiking, and a no-processed-food ethos, the experience promotes true well-being.
Meals are shared mindfully, leftovers are offered to the community, and nothing goes to waste—respecting the land and its resources.
The group joins efforts to protect sea turtles and care for the ocean they surf in, raising awareness and supporting local conservation actions.
