The Gardens of Pura Vida

Pura Vida, meaning ¨pure life¨, is located on a private mountaintop estate in Costa Rica's Alajuela province surrounded by coffee plantations and lush foliage. The whole estate commands fantastic views of Irazú, Barva, and Poás volcanoes and of the central valley with the capital, San José.

Walk amidst enchanted gardens of heliconias and orchids. Become romanced by the fountains, pools, fruit and ornamental trees, colorful birds, and gentle butterflies. In this ¨Garden of Eden¨ the year round temperature is 70 to 80 degrees during the day with mild nights. Renew your deepest connections with life as you step into an oasis of beauty and tranquility.

Our gardening crew is constantly maintaining and improving the grounds of this seven-acre property. Enjoy walking the paths and discovering the many secluded spaces. There are plenty of tranquil spots with hammocks, benches and grassy areas for meditation, reading or just hanging out.
