Your Vacation as a Force for Good.
SMALL-GROUP SURF & YOGA RETREATS IN UVITA, COSTA RICA
For over a decade, our "Small is Beautiful" philosophy has been our guiding star. We aren't a mass-market resort; we are a purpose-driven pura vida home that welcomes a maximum of just 10 guests per week.
By trading the crowds for connection, we ensure your time in the water and on the mat is unhurried, safe, and deeply personal. Here, where the jungle meets the sea, the most meaningful moments happen quietly. Whether you are looking for a joyful week of catching waves, discovering a new passion, or a profound internal shift—the experience is entirely yours to discover. Bodhi is your place to awaken purpose.

Why We Don’t Sell "Transformation"
In the modern wellness world, everyone promises "transformation." We don't. The moment you guarantee a specific, profound outcome, you turn a deeply human experience into a packaged product. Bodhi isn’t a machine you put intentions into and get guaranteed results back out. Instead, we simply provide an environment that invites you to slow down, move your body, connect with others, and pay attention.
The Bodhi Way
We create the conditions for your journey through four core pillars:
Surfing
The Ocean as a Mirror
Inside the protected waters of Marino Ballena National Park, the whitewash demands your presence, helping you trade anxiety for the rhythm of the tides.
Yoga
The Mat as a Sanctuary
Practiced in our open-air jungle shala. It’s about quieting the noise so you can build the clarity to take that peace off the mat and back home.
Nature Immersion
The Earth as an Anchor
Reconnecting with a place that holds nearly 5% of the world's biodiversity. Spotting scarlet macaws or hearing howler monkeys puts everything back into perspective.
Community Connection
A Return to Belonging
Our eco-lodge is woven into the fabric of Uvita. You’ll experience authentic Tico culture and feel more like a welcomed neighbor than a passing tourist.
The Bodhi Experience, In Their Words
From Ripples to Waves of Change
A Bodhi Session doesn't end when you pack your bags. Meet the guests who are turning their vacation into everyday impact back home.
Beyond the Surface
Observations, insights, and practical tips for mindful surfing + yoga, sustainable travel, and discovering your Pura Vida.
