Space to Simply Be
Slow down into the rhythm of Costa Rica.
There is spaciousness built into every day. Time for the beach, nature, rest and reflection, so your retreat feels nourishing rather than like another schedule to keep.
This is your time.
To slow down. To listen inward.
To reconnect with the parts of yourself that everyday life can make so easy to forget.
WHAT A DAY AT PURE BLISS FEELS LIKE
Morning
Begin slowly.
Wake to the sounds of the jungle before joining an intimate morning yoga & meditation practice in our oceanfront shala, followed by a nourishing tropical brunch prepared onsite for you with local ingredients.
MIDDAY
Your time to receive.
Your personalized sessions may unfold here: massage, breathwork, cacao, sound, healing practices or whatever has been thoughtfully chosen for your journey.
AFTERNOON
Space to simply be.
Swim in the Caribbean, walk the beach, nap beneath the palms, explore the jungle, take a guided wildlife or sloth-spotting tour with a local guide, lay by the pool with your favorite book or simply do nothing at all.
EVENING
Integrate & unwind.
Slip into a blissful relaxing yoga class, or walk the beach at sunset. Our personal chef will bring you a nourishing dinner and the evening is yours to rest, journal, connect or simply listen to the sounds of the jungle.
THE SETTING
Where the Jungle Meets the Caribbean
Your retreat unfolds on Costa Rica's lush southern Caribbean coast, surrounded by tropical rainforest, warm turquoise sea and the slower rhythm of life in Punta Uva.
A little corner of paradise
Pure Bliss Retreats are hosted in the Punta Uva area near Puerto Viejo, one of the most beautiful and peaceful corners of Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast.
Here, jungle-covered roads lead to quiet beaches, scarlet macaws fly overhead and the warm Caribbean Sea is only moments away. Life moves differently here: slower, softer and more connected to nature.
It’s the kind of place that naturally invites you to put down your phone, take a deeper breath and remember what it feels like to simply be.
THE CARIBBEAN SEA
Warm water, palm-lined beaches and spacious afternoons to swim, wander or simply rest.
THE RAINFOREST
Wake to tropical birds, monkeys and the sounds of the jungle surrounding you.
THE RETREAT SANCTUARY
A peaceful home base for yoga, healing sessions, nourishing meals and moments of connection.
YOUR RETREAT HOME
Dragonfly Retreat Center
Nestled in the tropical beauty of Punta Uva on Costa Rica’s Caribbean Coast, Dragonfly Retreat Center is the heart of the Pure Bliss experience - an intimate sanctuary where many of our daily practices, sessions and shared moments unfold.
Surrounded by lush greenery and close to the Caribbean Sea, it's a space designed for slowing down: morning yoga, nourishing brunches, massage and healing sessions, conversations, connection and quiet moments in between.

A few words from women who’ve been here
★★★★★ 4.96 from 56+ BookRetreats reviews
“Fern held such a safe and sacred space to be vulnerable and truly seen. She intuitively guides each session and offers a personal, truly life-changing experience. Fern shows up as a friend (or the big sister you always wanted), never with judgment and always with love and warmth.
Through each breathwork, meditation, sound healing, and intuitive practice, I loosened my grip and leaned in, unlocking new tools within myself. This retreat truly reminded me why life is worth living. If you're looking for a reset or a rebirth, you couldn't pick a better guide, destination, and experience than Fern's retreats will offer.”
— Heather Auffert · Solo Retreat · BookRetreats“My 1:1 retreat with Fern was truly powerful, magical, and joy-filled in every way. From the very first moment I reached out to inquire about the retreat until the moment I departed back home, I felt 110% held, supported, and cared for by Fern. She was incredibly responsive and organized, which made all the logistics flow with such ease. At the same time, she was deeply intuitive, crafting each day and session perfectly around what I needed most in the moment.
There was so much I loved about this retreat. The location itself was breathtaking, and Fern knew all the most precious, soul-nourishing sites. I’m endlessly grateful for the experience. I’ve been recommending her to all my friends, it was truly life-changing!”
— Patricia · Solo Retreat · BookRetreats“My time with Fern in Costa Rica was nothing short of amazing. I arrived burned out, in need of rest, and craving a way to reconnect with my spirit team and myself. Fern had a beautiful week planned, while also holding the awareness that we would shift and adapt based on what was needed in the moment. Throughout my time there, and even after returning home, I experienced the bliss of my nervous system being reset.
This was also my first trip traveling solo, and I felt completely safe during my time at Dragonfly Beach Retreat. The food, morning yoga, access to the pool and beach, the staff, the peaceful accommodations, and the facilities were all exceptional. Thank you Fern! I can’t wait to come back to Punta Uva!”
