Meet your hosts: Chris & Merith

We are an adventurous couple with a lifelong love for travel, exploration, and discovering beautiful corners of the world. Our journey eventually led us to this breathtaking mountain paradise, and the moment we arrived, we knew we had found something truly special. Today, along with our sweet dogs and cats, we are proud to call Andalusia our home.

​

For us, Pura Vida is more than just a place to stay, it’s a reflection of how we love to live, and we find so much joy in hosting and bringing happiness to the beautiful souls who visit us

The heart & soul behind Pura Vida

Merith is the gentle, grounding force of our sanctuary. As a passionate yoga teacher and masseuse, she has a deep love for holistic health, mindful movement, and nourishing, vibrant food. She is here to help you breathe a little deeper, let go of daily stress, and reconnect with your inner balance.

​

Chris is our true Burgundian life-enjoyer. He believes that comfort, good food, and a variety of fun activities are the secrets to a happy life. Whether he is taking care of the property, sharing local stories, or driving you up the mountain roads, Chris makes sure you feel pampered, safe, and completely at ease

​

Together, we combine our passions to create a warm, welcoming haven where you can enjoy the ultimate slow living lifestyle. We can't wait to open our doors to you, share our favorite hidden spots, and welcome you to the Pura Vida family!
