PuraVida Escapes: the luxurious way to revitalise your body and mind. Our mission is to get you moving and performing optimally, whilst improving everything from your level of fitness to your energy levels to the quality of your sleep.
PuraVida's challenging and fun filled Escapes offer training in activities as diverse as barefoot running, adventure racing, wrestling and self defence skills, kettlebells, flexibility and mobility work and breathing! Our movement coaching is focussed to allow your body to start rediscovering its natural potential, whilst we work simultaneously to help initiate the release of pent up tensions that can lead to aches, pains or injuries.
Combining your daily activity with a delicious dose of organic, local food chosen specifically for its nutritional benefits and its tantalising taste appeal and cooked up a treat by our 5* gourmet chefs, is PuraVida's way to ensure you have optimal energy without leaving anything out in terms of taste and pleasure. Our Nutritionists and Functional Medicine Practitioners work with you individually during the course of the week in addition to the nutritional workshops standard to each course, to ensure you receive the best nutrition possible during and beyond your stay.
At PuraVida we don't believe that the changes you make on holiday need to be short lived adaptations that make you feel great while you are being pampered and spoilt with us, but that disappear to nothingness as soon as you get home. We want you to go home and just keep feeling better and better. That is why throughout your Escape with us we will provide you with tools, skills, knowlege and motivation to go home and and continue the good work. Our coaches are there for you 100% of the time during your stay to ensure you return home stronger, fitter and full of energy having had a challenging, life changing experience!
All of our Escapes are themed to ensure your Escape experience fits your goals and expectations:

PuraVida has teamed up with luxury alpine chalet Hidden Dragon to deliver perfectly designed fitness holidays that provide an indulgent and luxurious break from the hectic fast-paced experience of everyday life but an educational, fun and life changing experience!
Not only will you receive 5-star training with some of the world's best coaches with boxing, kettlebells, thai boxing, VIVOBAREFOOT running, hiking and adventure activities all on the menu, you will also indulge and participate in the creation of a sensory stimulating gastronomic experience!
Any great holiday would not be complete without some serious relaxation and at PuraVida we spend a great deal of time focussing on just this! With plenty of allocated time during the week in which to catch a few rays of sun, relax and socialise as well as specific wind down activities and numerous relaxation therapies, we will really help you let go of all your cares.
