Pura Vida USA Wellness and Yoga Retreat in Dahlonega, Georgia

By Kimberly Lisagor

FALL: PURA VIDA USA WELLNESS AND YOGA RETREAT,DAHLONEGA, GeorgiaIn September, blueberries line the wooded trails of this 72-acre mountain hideaway, where yoga students sip tea on the wraparound porch of a 1920s-style farmhouse. Pura Vida USA—a recent offshoot of the popular Pura Vida Spa, in Costa Rica, and Maya Tulum, in Mexico—is part yoga retreat, part day spa, and part classic southern country inn. Rooms in the house and barn offer wildflower-garden views; “bear den” cabins sit amid sycamores, poplars, and pines. The daily Hatha yoga classes complement the spa’s more passive treats, including aromatherapy steams and half a dozen flavors of massage. Round out your stay with some canoeing, mountain biking, horseback riding, and hiking in the surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains. The Wellness Getaway Package for two people includes two nights’ lodging, yoga, breakfast, three spa treatments, and unlimited access to the outdoor Jacuzzi for $440–$536. 866-345-4900, www.puravidausa.com
