A DIFFERENT KIND OF HOLIDAY

What if the holidays actually felt like a holiday?

The holidays can be beautiful. They can also be full of rushing, expectations, obligations and very little space to simply be. This year, you're invited to do things differently.

Come somewhere warm. Wake to the sounds of the jungle. Move your body in the morning, swim in the Caribbean, eat beautiful food, receive a massage, breathe deeply and remember what it feels like to have nowhere else you need to be.

Pure Bliss Holiday Retreats bring together just 2–4 guests for an intimate week of personalized experiences, shared practices, meaningful connection and plenty of time for yourself.

Come on your own, with your partner, or make it an unforgettable mother-daughter journey.

Christmas or New Year's. Two beautiful weeks. One very different way to spend the holidays.

Choose Your WEEK

Whether you're longing for a softer Christmas or an intentional beginning to the new year, each week offers the signature Pure Bliss experience with its own seasonal rhythm.

THE SIGNATURE PURE BLISS EXPERIENCE

Intimate by design. Personal by nature.

With just 2–4 guests each week, our Holiday Retreats offer something rare: the warmth and connection of spending the holidays with a tiny, like-minded community, while still receiving the personal attention and spaciousness of a private retreat.

Your experience is thoughtfully shaped around you, weaving together personalized healing sessions, intimate shared practices, beautiful meals, nature, celebration and plenty of time to simply be.

Come alone or with someone you love. You'll have space for your own journey, moments to share with others, and the freedom to experience the holidays at an entirely different rhythm.

PERSONALIZED TO YOU

Your retreat, your rhythm.

Your individual experiences are thoughtfully chosen around your intentions, with personal attention and space to receive exactly what you need from your week.

INTIMATE CONNECTION

Just 2–4 guests.

Share yoga, meditation, meals, rituals and meaningful moments with a tiny retreat community — enough connection to feel held, never so much that you lose your own space.

Everything is an invitation.

There is nothing you need to achieve while you're here.

SPACE TO SIMPLY BE

This is your holiday, too.

Swim in the Caribbean. Walk the beach. Read beneath the palms. Take a nap. Explore Punta Uva. There is spaciousness built into every day, because rest isn't the time between retreat activities. It's part of the retreat.

YOUR HOME IN COSTA RICA

Where will I stay?

Your holiday retreat takes place at Dragonfly Retreat Center, our intimate tropical sanctuary in Punta Uva on Costa Rica's southern Caribbean coast.

You'll stay right where the retreat unfolds, surrounded by lush jungle and just moments from the warm Caribbean Sea. Wake to tropical birds, step into morning practice, share beautiful meals and return to the privacy of your own accommodation whenever you're ready to rest.

No commuting between hotels and retreat spaces. No rushing from one place to another. For one beautiful week, this becomes home.

Private accommodation is included with every Pure Bliss Holiday Retreat.

A week designed to feel good.

Each holiday retreat blends the signature Pure Bliss experience with special seasonal moments unique to Christmas or New Year's.

Your days may weave together:

  • "The location itself was breathtaking, and Fern knew all the most precious, soul-nourishing sites. I’m endlessly grateful for the experience."

    — Patricia · Solo Retreat · BookRetreats

  • "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."

    — Kim Johnson · Solo Retreat · BookRetreats

  • "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."
