Prana del Mar has been an amazing experience. From the facilities and people to the activities and resources provided, no detail was overlooked. Erik has done an incredible job creating this space for spiritual, physical, and mental rejuvenation. I hope to be lucky enough to return in the near future. Until then, this place – truly a retreat in all senses of the word – will be a memory I’ll return to again and again.
