Pura Vida Haven Retreat – Kimberly Manthey

Pura Vida Haven Retreat is a yoga retreat in Costa Rica led by Kimberly Manthey at Anamaya Resort in Montezuma, on the Pacific side of the Puntarenas region. It suits anyone looking for a yoga retreat that leaves room for both practice and real rest, whether you come for the classes or mostly for the setting.

How the Week Is Shaped

Anamaya builds its yoga retreats so guests can decide how much to take part in. You can join the classes and workshops that Kimberly Manthey offers, or you can spend your time on the resort's healthy meals, spa and wellness services, excursions, or simply a hammock or a spot by the pool. The resort encourages every guest to shape the week around what they need, so you can arrive with a full plan or none at all.

The Setting

Anamaya sits in the jungle above the ocean in Montezuma, a small town on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. The resort describes itself as a Blue Zone location overlooking the Pacific, and it has been named one of National Geographic's World's Best Wellness Destinations 2026. Days here can include time at the infinity pool, optional spa treatments, jungle excursions and waterfall outings, alongside the healthy meals served at the resort.

Booking works room by room. Guests choose their week, then a room suited to the size of their party or their budget, and then pay a deposit to hold their place.

Before You Go

Because the retreat is customizable, you do not need to take part in every session, and you can pace the week to suit your energy. If you want a retreat that asks little of you beyond showing up, the structure allows for it. If you prefer a fuller schedule of yoga and workshops with Kimberly Manthey, that is open to you as well. Rooms are available for solo travelers and for those coming with friends, family or a partner.
