Our Story

At Pura Vida Eco-Cottage, we believe that true luxury is not about excess, but about connection — connection to nature, to others, and to ourselves. This is a place where sustainability meets serenity, where every experience is designed to inspire a deep appreciation for the natural world and to nurture a sense of harmony within.

The world we live in is fast-paced, disconnected, and often at odds with the environment we depend on. Many people yearn for a break from the hustle, for a place where they can truly breathe, reflect, and reconnect with what truly matters. We saw this need not just as an opportunity but as a responsibility — a responsibility to create a space that not only offers refuge but sets an example of how tourism can be a force for good.

Our vision goes beyond just providing a vacation. We are committed to preserving the beauty of Costa Rica, to creating an eco-friendly escape that gives back to the land and the local community. For every tree we use in construction, we will plant ten more. For every guest we welcome, we aim to spark a deeper love for sustainability.

We’re here to serve the conscious traveler — people who value experiences that go beyond luxury, people who want to immerse themselves in nature without leaving a negative footprint. Our guests seek more than relaxation; they seek a sense of purpose. They want to know that their choices matter and that they can enjoy the beauty of the world in a way that preserves it for future generations.

Pura Vida Eco-Cottage is our answer to that desire — a sanctuary that offers the peace of the rainforest, the richness of Costa Rican culture, and the fulfillment of contributing to a more sustainable world. We welcome you to join us, not just as guests but as partners in our mission to create a better, more connected future.
