Why is this the BEST Vacation Ever?
The Beach. The Beach. The Beach!
We make it easy for you to travel with people you care about, without forcing you all to do the same things!
Agree on the room and choose your own activities! Everyone gets what they want with pricing that fits their interests!
This year's luxury accommodations are located right in the middle of the town of Tamarindo, one of the most famous in all of Costa Rica. Multiple restaurants, banks, shopping, nightlife, the beach, and more are seconds away from your door!
The location is an international hub, offering nearly any type of dining you desire,
including, of course, our delicious traditional Costa Rican cuisine!
Steps from the beach, and surrounded by lush gardens throughout the resort, the connection to nature is undeniable.
We believe you don’t have to be removed from society to appreciate both humanity and nature!
Your hosts are well-traveled, bilingual, friendly, knowledgeable, (not to mention AWESOME) locals;
We can tell you where to eat, chill, and party! When you book with locals, you get to feel like a local!
We are sponsored by Blue Planet Eco Eyewear among others!
We are Pura Vida (it's like saying "Aloha" in Costa Rican Spanish)!
...and did we mention the beach?!

In 2019, we had 27 participants join us for our Surf Yoga Golf Vacation Packages at the luxurious Tamarindo Diria! They ranged in ages from 8 years old to nearly 80! We have 5 star reviews from all of our guests, not only on our retreats, but also for our lessons and vacations, so you don't have to just believe US that you're in good hands, you can ask the experts: our awesome clients!
Previously we included dinners as part of the packages, but our clients told us that they would like the option to get dinner on their own, so we listened and removed it from the packages. Don't worry! If you want the all inclusive feel, you can still add lunch and or dinner back into your packages with the a-la-carte options when you book your packages.
Did you forget something when you booked? Change your mind and decided to add on? Win the lottery and want to upgrade? Just shoot us an email and we'll take care of the changes or additions for you with an updated invoice!
More questions? We promise we don't bite! If you can't find the answers on our FAQs, it doesn't mean we can't answer it! Send us an email or give a call and we'l be happy to ease your worries!
We can't wait for another amazing retreat at this truly fantastic beachfront hotel with all of you in 2020! We'll see you all at the beachfront Happy Hour on January 11th! Pura vida!
