Set in a lush valley in Costa Rica’s Southern Pacific mountains, this land is more than a place to live.

It’s an invitation into a conscious, co-creative way of life, held by a thriving community and guided by a sacred relationship with nature.

  • Nature-rooted

    Deep in the heart of the rainforest, Florestral is surrounded by the presence of Mother Earth.

  • International village

    We are individuals, families, and elders from many cultures, drawn together by shared values.

  • Built with intention

    Every home, trail, and project has been shaped by the hands of those who live on this land.

  • Guided by spirit

    Music, ceremony, and sacred connection are woven into everyday life.

Built on truth, simplicity, and love.

Joining Florestral includes a place within the community structure and the ability to build your home on a private lot that you choose.
