LODGING & ACCOMMODATIONS

Somertime inn

A rejuvenating lodge by a river in biodiverse organic farm community.

Nestled among lush jungle, permaculture gardens, and refreshing rivers, this charming lodge offers your guests a wonderful “home away from home” experience.

Explore several hiking trails on site, as well as a refreshing river with swimming holes and little waterfalls just a few steps from the front door. If you’re looking to venture off site, some of the biggest and most beautiful waterfalls in Costa Rica are just a short drive away. However, there is so much rich biodiversity on site (including over 250 species of birds), you might just prefer to simply stay “home”. The lodge contains lots of books and fun board games, a variety of instruments available to play, and plenty of hammocks.

Enjoy the “pura vida” lifestyle in one of the most popular places to stay in the area.




Paso de la danta

An off-grid village school in sustainable and regenerative practices.

Immersed in nature, with all its grandeur and splendor, this world-renowned homestead is perfect for naturalists, artists, mystics, and equestrians. It is also unique due to its cool mountains climate and close proximity to tropical beaches.

The lodge is a large, two-story, elegant earthen home, hand built by the owners in 1991 (the first modern sustainable home in Costa Rica) on top of a steep escarpment 1,000 meters above sea level. It is off-grid with solar power and natural spring water, and off the beaten path, surrounded by tropical forests and cascading rivers.

In the coastal range above Uvita, this inspiring and unique round ecolodge overlooks the famous Whale’s Tail coastline and a massive biological corridor stretches from the rainforests of the Osa Peninsula to Manuel Antonio and connects to several other national parks and ecological reserves. This corridor is home to many endangered and endemic species such as scarlet macaws, ocelots, jaguars, and squirrel monkeys.

Some sounds blast you away, while others will hug you closely. It’s crisp and holographic. Come prepared for a deep journey designed to invigorate all your senses.

MOVEMENT

Breathe, flow, and explore your freedom through physical expression. Our bodies are the vessels in this world that serve as the foundation from which we can discover our highest potential. Explore stages, spaces, and yoga shalas designed so you can completely let go and be wild in the natural environment of Envision. Release; The jungle is here to spot you.

ART

Living is an art form. At Envision we curate a 360 degree immersive art environment that blends the edges of the canvas with the world around it.

RADICAL ACCEPTANCE

Come as you are, leave as you want to be. We know our paths emerge from different directions, and we respect the stories and experiences that make us who we are now. No matter where we come from, or how our paths intertwine, we’re all about progressive inclusion.

HEALTH

To care for others we must first take care of ourselves. Experience and explore mindful practices for food, activity, medicine, and more that will nourish a lifetime of joyous behaviors and self-care rituals.

COMMUNITY

You are apart of something bigger. Discover the community you always knew existed - brought together by all of our similarities, and transformed by all of our differences.

PERMACULTURE

We think long term. The 12 principles of permaculture are echoed throughout every undertaking at Envision. Before each decision is made, and before each shovel is dug into the Earth, we are dedicated to considering the future impact of our actions.

SPIRITUALITY

Strengthen your source connection. Envision supports you with a space where you can explore a deeper understanding of our common oneness with nature and each other.
