Pranamar Villas, Santa Teresa

YOGA, SURF AND SUP

There's nothing quite like waking up to the sound of the waves crashing onto Playa Hermosa outside your peaceful bungalow in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica! A beach walk and morning swim in the Pacific as the sun rises to majestic skies has been a daily favorite for our guests each morning on this remote retreat. Another favorite: simply relaxing in the hammock on your porch while enjoying a freshly brewed cup of coffee or tea as you listen to waves, the birds and the howler monkeys! An energizing morning yoga class in our personal yoga shala brings everyone together to really kickstart the day. Sprinkled into each day's schedule are three fresh and delicious meals which include a uniquely refreshing juice creation that'll make you grin with joy. The afternoons are often filled with surfing (lessons for the newbies), enjoying the meditative spaces, relaxing at the spa or simply taking a walk on the beach while basking in the warm, tropical air. Late afternoons are set aside for restoration. Guests wind down with a relaxing yoga and meditation class before soaking up the sunset. We top the day off with a nourishing dinner in the warmly lit restaurant served by the absolute best staff ever! The night's not over for those who wanting more. The pool nestled between the bungalows and villas is perfect for an evening swim. Star gazing from the beach is another favorite before closing out the day and heading back to the villa or bungalow for a peaceful and rejuvenating night’s sleep. ¡Pura Vida!
