Explore Costa Rica

Costa Rica is one of the world’s best destinations for off-grid stays, eco lodges, treehouse-style cabins, glamping retreats, jungle homes, and community-based living. With rainforest, mountains, volcanoes, beaches, coffee country, rivers, and rural villages packed into a relatively small country, it is a natural fit for travellers looking for stays that feel closer to nature than a standard hotel.

Off Grid Destinations brings together unique places to stay across Costa Rica, including solar-powered homes, eco villas, permaculture farms, glamping tents, jungle cabins, treehouses, rural fincas, and homes inside or near intentional communities. Some stays are simple and rustic, while others are more polished eco retreats, but the common thread is a stronger connection to land, nature, sustainability, and slower travel.

The best region depends on the kind of experience you want. Alajuela is a strong base for mountain towns, coffee country, volcano views, and community-focused stays around San Mateo, Alegria Village, La Ecovilla, and Tacotal. Puntarenas includes rainforest destinations such as Piedras Blancas and Finca Bellavista, as well as Pacific coast stays around Santa Teresa and The ARK. Guanacaste offers drier forest, beaches, rural fincas, and nature-focused homes near the Nicoya Peninsula.
