ABOUT PURA VIDA USA

PuraVida USA Wellness and Yoga is located on 72 acres near the historic gold-rush town of Dahlonega, GA, in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

The main house is a reproduction 1920-style Farmhouse with a wrap-around porch that provides spectacular and relaxing views of the Chattahoochee National Forest and beyond.

16 rooms in the main house, barn house and cottage have beautiful views either of the English style wildflower gardens, the mountains or the woods. 8 cabins, fondly called "Bear Dens" are private cabins in the woods surrounding the property. All of the cabins have a small refrigerator and its own coffee maker, making it just perfect.

The fresh air will instantly begin to lull you out of your big-city blues, and our outdoor jacuzzi, nature trails and Spa treatments will take care of your body & spirit.

Delight in the panoramic view from our large front porch, or walk among the mountain laurel, great oaks, pines and dogwoods. Spend time in our colorful perennial gardens or feed the bass and catfish at Willow Pond, or walk the trails in the woods. Blueberries abound on the property, especially in late summer.

We are fortunate to be in an area that boasts numerous festivals and events throughout the year, as well as having easy access to the southern terminus of the Appalachian Trail, picturesque Georgia State Parks including the Walasiyi Visitors Center, local wineries such as Three Sister's, BlackStock, Frogtown and Wolf Mountain, scenic Amicalola Falls, Talullah Gorge, and the unique Bavarian-style town of Helen.

Pura Vida USA Wellness and Yoga Retreat Center is a member of the R&R Resorts family of distinctive properties, which includes the popular Maya Tulum Resort, on the coast of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, near Cancun, and Pura Vida Spa in Alajuela, Costa Rica. Both are award-winning favorites of yoga practitioners worldwide. We are commited to providing you, our valued guest, with: comfortable, peaceful accommodation; fresh inviting breakfasts, friendly, personal service; transformative, therapeutic massages, and a welcomed 'getaway' atmosphere. All of this we bring to you in the midst of a unique, lush, verdant, biodiverse environment that will allow you every opportunity to learn, grow, relax, renew and be in nature.

We look forward to seeing you soon!
