If you live a life that needs a break, Prana del Mar is the place to go. Sleep with the sound of waves - no intrusions from radio or TV. Vegetarian-based meals made so well that meat lovers really don't miss a thing. Walk beaches, watch the ocean and its ever-changing form. Do yoga, get a massage, and truly let go!

I can't imagine a more perfect place for a yoga retreat! The yoga room is perfect - the mats, the blankets, the floor, the views, the candles - perfect. Our group bonded in a special way. I can't imagine a better vacation, and we will be back next year for sure.
