Your Oceanview Boutique Escape in Costa Rica
A family-owned hotel dedicated to wellness, sustainability, and unforgettable experiences.
Our Vision & Heritage
Twenty years ago, while living in California, we dreamed of creating a boutique hotel in Costa Rica — a space where nature, wellness, and authentic local culture come together. Our passion for travel, photography, and luxury events led us on a journey across continents, and eventually, home to Costa Rica.
Mark, born in Dallas with deep Costa Rican roots, grew up exploring the country and nurturing a love for its rich culture and ocean landscapes. Over decades, he earned advanced certifications in scuba diving and first aid, sharing his love for adventure and the sea.
Together, we ran an international group travel company, then pursued photography careers, completing renowned programs in Santa Barbara, California. Our experiences with luxury clients and travel enthusiasts taught us how to create unforgettable, personalized experiences — lessons we brought to Pura Vista Costa Rica.
Boutique Hotel & Ocean View Rooms
At Pura Vista Costa Rica, we offer 12 exquisitely designed rooms and a magnificent house with breathtaking ocean views. Every room is curated to maximize comfort, tranquility, and connection with nature.
Just a short 30-minute drive from Liberia International Airport, our boutique hotel is perfectly situated for travelers seeking convenience without sacrificing immersion in Costa Rica’s natural beauty.
Wellness, Yoga & Retreats
As a certified yoga instructor with over 25 years of practice, I’ve designed spaces that nurture both body and soul. Guests return time and again for the healing energy of our oceanview decks, sunrise meditations, and immersive wellness programs.
Our hotel is perfect for small wellness retreats, yoga workshops, and mindfulness escapes, offering personalized experiences that reconnect you with nature and yourself.
Micro Weddings & Celebrations
Pura Vista Costa Rica and our sister beach club property are ideal for intimate weddings, micro celebrations, and private reunions. From the breathtaking glittery black sands of Playa Ocotal to the stunning ocean views from pools and decks, every event is infused with elegance, authenticity, and care.
With decades of experience in luxury weddings and events, we help you design seamless, unforgettable celebrations that reflect your unique style.
