Book your stay and experience Costa Rica through the eyes of locals, artisans & thriving communities.
Vida homes are simple, soulful spaces in real communities. Whether you're dreaming of a move to Costa Rica or seeking a deeper way to travel, we invite you to feel the difference — welcomed into daily rhythms by the farmer at the market, the artisan next door, and the neighbors who call this land home.
Step into a space where you're not a tourist passing through, but a guest becoming part of the story.
You're welcomed into daily rhythms: the farmer at the market, the artisan at work, the slow afternoon.
Soulful spaces in real communities — respectful of nature and neighbors alike, designed for staying longer.
Every Vida property is chosen and run with heart — each host someone we know and trust.
A curated family of homes across Costa Rica — each one chosen for its land, its light, and the community around it.

Choose one of our homes, then build your own retreat in the Experience VIDA app from our vetted local experiences and trusted wellness facilitators — or hand us the outline and our concierge will shape it with you.
Twenty people, or three families under one roof. Whole-property and multi-home stays are arranged by hand, with the houses, chefs, guides and transport organised around your group rather than booked piece by piece.
