Suppose the start of a new year has you dreaming about sandy beaches, warm breezes, and a fresh commitment to your health. In that case, there’s no better way to make it happen than joining Bruce and Mindy Mylrea in Costa Rica for an unforgettable wellness retreat. From January 5–10, 2026, you can trade the winter chill for a rejuvenating mix of movement, relaxation, and plant-based nourishment in one of the most beautiful corners of the world.
A Luxury Escape to Pura Vida House
Your home for the week is the award-winning, custom-built Pura Vida House, a luxury villa nestled inside Hacienda Pinilla, Costa Rica’s premier five-star beach resort. With only 12 spots available, this intimate retreat ensures personalized attention, new friendships, and an atmosphere where you can truly unplug.
From the moment you arrive, every detail is taken care of. A private chef prepares your breakfasts and dinners, while Bruce and Mindy personally host nutritious, plant-strong lunches. Your luxury accommodations include daily housekeeping, high-speed Wi-Fi, and access to world-class amenities—so you can focus on feeling your best.
Wellness That Flows from Sunrise to Sunset
Mornings begin on the beach with Mindy’s signature workouts, setting the tone for a day filled with activities to restore your body and mind. You’ll enjoy guided meditations, breathwork sessions, and yoga designed to deepen your sense of calm and presence. Four group fitness classes keep your body moving, while four plant-strong cooking sessions inspire your kitchen creativity.
And because wellness also means relaxation, you’ll have the opportunity to melt into a 60-minute massage, sip Costa Rican coffee as the sun rises, or simply lounge by the exclusive Beach Club pool.
Beyond the Retreat: Authentic Costa Rican Adventures
No trip to Costa Rica is complete without exploring its vibrant culture and natural wonders. This retreat includes excursions to the charming surf town of Tamarindo and other local treasures—think waterfalls, rainforests, volcanoes, and even giant sea turtles. With Bruce and Mindy as your hosts, you’ll get insider access to off-the-beaten-path spots most travelers miss.
Plus, Hacienda Pinilla offers an 18-hole championship golf course, ocean-view fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, surfing at the famous Little Hawaii break, horseback riding, mountain biking trails, and much more.
Why This Retreat Is Special
This isn’t just a vacation—it’s a chance to press pause, reconnect with your body, and immerse yourself in a community of like-minded wellness seekers. Between the world-class setting, the expert-led sessions, and the all-inclusive luxury, you’ll return home feeling stronger, calmer, and more inspired than ever.
With only 12 spots available, this experience will fill quickly. Secure your place with a $500 deposit and get ready to live, laugh, and play your way into the new year.
