Choose from our best EcoLuxury accommodations, all of which have a seaside view, including our brand new oceanfront treehouse. Host a beachfront yoga retreat or join us for a morning practice while on vacation.

About PlayaViva :


Enhances the wellbeing of the community

Playa Viva conducts programs based on health, education, and economic development that serve the Juluchuca community as one of its key beliefs.

Fresh, organically grown, and locally sourced food is served :

Playa Viva uses locally sourced foods and organically cultivated goods to define farm to table. The resort's agriculture team concentrates on crops that are high in nutrients, such as dark greens, nuts and seeds, fresh fruits, and most recently, animal products that are farmed on farms and in forests.

Credit : PlayaViva


Sustainable agriculture regenerates the environment:

The permaculture team at Playa Viva employs both local knowledge and scientific analysis to understand the geography, define carbon sequestration targets for Playa Viva's forests, and pick the most appropriate trees to introduce through reforestation. Playa Viva uses permaculture principles and reforestation through an agroforestry design lens to improve the soil's ability to retain water and begin to transform its sandy earth into microbial rich loamy soil that will benefit future generations.

Credit : PlayaViva


Leaders in regenerative architecture:

Playa Viva was designed from the ground up with regenerative concepts in mind, with sustainability strongly woven in its essential values. It utilizes an 100% off-grid solar power, smart water design to save water and replenish the nearby aquifer with even cleaner water, locally collected renewable building materials, and fixtures made by skilled local artisans.

Activities :


Living off the grid:

In the rough Sierra Mountains, ride an ATV to local coffee and chocolate growers.

Permaculture Agriculture and Forestry:

With the manager of the Permaculture Farm, learn more about the regenerative practices, cycles, and systems woven throughout your stay at Playa Viva.

Oceanic Biodiversity:

Visit a significant marine wetland and clean shoreline to witness wildlife including humpback whales, rays, dolphins, and even birds.

Release of young sea turtles:

Watch young sea turtles arrive at Playa Viva's shores to lay their eggs.

Secluded Paradise

This place is so wonderful! The food was spectacular… Way beyond my expectations. It’s all locally sourced, clean, fresh whole foods . This place is a secluded paradise and I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in truly disconnecting. My only piece of advice is to make sure that you bring mosquito spray and do not expect to swim in the ocean during the rainy season. The staff there is incredible and we’re so accommodating when we had to leave a day unexpectedly. They made sure we got to the airport as needed, no issues. Thank you, Playa Viva!

Dont tell anyone!

We spent a week here with a our 1 year old son and had the greatest of holidays, i/we did as David suggested and deleted our social media and work email apps and switched off to relax to the sounds relentless breaking waves....that were only 200m from the end of our bed. I believe they have just finished a renovation to expand the capacity, and wow are the accommodations incredible, this hidden gem truly embodies their regenerative approach (its not just a bit here and there, its real) and yet the service and experiences is personal, homely, and frankly nearly perfect!If you like fresh, homemade, delicious food then this is your place....they will amaze you with the never ending yumminess that arrives from the kitchen three times a day! I find that in beautiful 4/5* hotels i get bored of the food in a few days because the menus never change...not our experience here at all....and first time we have never put on weight on holiday....hahaha!If you want to relax, do nothing, eat and drink, swim, sunbathe, read, detox from your screen, play with your kid in the pool or sand and just have a truly beautiful and different hotel experience that's truly secluded then this is for you. I rarely review and have traveled to more than 35 countries and with a 1 year old in tow you might have questions...call them and speak to them about what arrangements they can make for you...we did and put every fear at ease! Their carpenter even whipped up a brand new baby high chair in 24 hours for Hugo as they were short! WOW!David, Alfredo, Julia, Emma and all at Playa Viva thank you for making our stay so wonderful....and to receive my lost swimming 'turtle' trunks through the post today unannounced - wow, just wow!And to all the other guests we met...thanks for being so awesome, interesting and cool!

Magical

This place is the place to go to disconnect and reconnect with yourself and the planet.The place is so beautiful, the food is fresh and delicious, and the owner and staff are so helpful and treat you like family.The farm is amazing - learn about regenerative farming. We enjoyed learning about all the ways to use the palm trees. as well as visiting the pigs and tasting the hibiscus.Don't miss what you can do to help turtles! In the evenings, you can participate in the group walk on the beach where you can help look for turtle eggs and protect them from predators. In the morning, you can release baby turtles and visit the education center of the turtle sanctuary and learn everything about turtles.The morning yoga and massages are so relaxing.The treehouses are beautifully designed with local materials and inspired by nature.Tip: Around dusk, put on mosquito repellent and change into long pants and long sleeve shirt.Thank you David, Julia, Jose and Fernando! I can't wait to come back!
