Located at the beautiful
Pura Vida Wellness Center, Yelapa, Mexico
Staying at Pura Vida Wellness Retreat is an experience unlike any other. The rooms are located in a jungle and a tropical garden situated on the hill just at the ocean shore. Most of the rooms have breathtaking views of the ocean and Yelapa bay, they were built literally just above the ocean.
​
Our peaceful, secluded ocean front resort is located a ten minute scenic walk from a small Mexican Village named Yelapa. We are in a small bay within Puerto Vallarta Bay, accessible only by boat. We are located a ten minute scenic walk from a small Mexican village named Yelapa, meaning “where the two rivers meet the sea.” It’s only 2 hour direct flight from Los Angeles or 3 hour flight from San Francisco.
Yelapa is home to beautiful beaches, a 60 foot high waterfall, a quaint authentic village, and plenty of beautiful trails to hike, wander and explore. It is only accessible by boat, a 45 minute ride from Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco in Mexico. There are no cars or traffic in Yelapa, so it is the perfect place to unwind.
What people are saying
Vaza’s retreat was magical. Her welcoming energy, amazing yoga and meditation classes and incredible understanding of ones body was life changing. I felt seen and supported on a deeper level and was able to fully immerse myself into the experience. The women who attended the retreat were so sweet and I am still in touch with some of them, already planning to attend one of the next retreats of Vaza.
I highly recommend a retreat with her.
