Join us for The Best adventure of your life in Tamarindo, COSTA RICA
A week to reconnect with yourself, discover surfing in a laid-back atmosphere, practice yoga in the heart of the beach, and explore breathtaking natural wonders.
Craving a tropical escape and a deep reconnection with nature?
Welcome to the Pura Vida Flow Retreat, an 8-day immersive experience in the heart of Tamarindo a vibrant town on Costa Rica’s Pacific coast, known for its surf energy, stunning sunsets, and relaxed vibe.
Designed for nature lovers, wellness seekers, beginner surfers, and curious yogis alike, this retreat is an invitation to slow down, breathe… and truly live.
I booked the retreat to free my mind, I didn’t want to worry, manage, or have to translate my vacation. It completely took away the mental load. I didn’t even have to think about transportation.
Sara works with her partner and close friends, so I knew I was supporting local. Shoutout to Sofia, Junior, and David 🙂
We stayed at Refugio, a safe and welcoming café-bar and hotel, just a 5-minute walk from the beach. I couldn’t have asked for a better first surfing experience. Sara and our guide Moises really took the time to make me feel comfortable and adapted to our individual levels. We were a group of 8 girls, and I’m so grateful for that support.
The activities were perfect, and the care Sara puts into making sure we enjoy every moment is truly appreciated.
I’d go back tomorrow if I could! Next time I return, I’ll definitely be booking with her again, no hesitation!

One word to describe my experience: enriching.
It all started with a simple TikTok video that caught my attention, and on a whim, I decided to embark on a solo journey to meet new people and live an extraordinary adventure. In the end, it turned out to be one of the best decisions of my life.
Through the yoga classes, I was able to free my mind and find true balance. The surf lessons helped me grow, persevere, and push beyond my limits. The evenings spent with amazing people were an opportunity to exchange ideas and gain new perspectives.
It was the breathtaking nature of Costa Rica that allowed me to escape and take in the country’s stunning beauty. And it was thanks to Sara from Tamarindo Surf & Tours that I had the unique opportunity to travel and discover this incredible place.
Without hesitation, I’ll be back, and I highly recommend this adventure to anyone looking to reconnect with themselves and live an unforgettable experience.

Have you always dreamed of traveling but weren’t sure where to begin?
Or maybe you’d love to explore the world, but the idea of going solo feels overwhelming?
This retreat was made for you.
When I took off on my first solo backpacking trip in 2021, I remember how much I longed for something like this a space to feel supported, to share the journey, and to meet like-minded souls. If I had known retreats like this existed, it would have eased so much stress and made it easier to form deep, lasting friendships from the start.
