Experience life at Los Vivos!

Located at the foothills within the Bahia Ballena Tambor Bay in Costa Rica, lies a secluded paradise that may be one of the country's best kept secrets. 

Playa Los Vivos is connected to the organic farm, Finca Orgánico El Tajo. Sustainability falls within the conscious practices for the environment that surrounds Los Vivos as well as in the economics of dozens of families that benefit from the products cultivated through the Los Vivos organic plantations system. A sanctuary of species endemic to the region, this area has been further discovered and cultivated by the Akerson family who arrived and established  themselves after setting sail from Oregon in 1982. Heart and Honey have spent the last 40 years raising their 9 children amongst the beautiful, tropical and lush jungle and living in conjunction with all that fills this flourishing destination. Each family member is an extremely impressive, inspiring, and unique person who adds to the majesty of the Los Vivos experience. Each one of the Akerson’s skill sets are showcased throughout the land and activities offered on site. There are few places in the world that feel as surreal as Los Vivos. The life that this family has built resembles more like that of story books and dreams than real life, however they are really living it! 

The Akerson family has started the Los Vivos Beachfront Experience to offer opportunities for other unique and adventurous individuals to share the stunning space they call home. Los Vivos' remote location, only accessible by boat, makes it the perfect place to get-away and connect with the beauty nature holds. All at Los Vivos has been carefully crafted through a slow process that has shaped a highly spiritual environment with vibrant energy and a healing ecosystem. 

Visiting Los Vivos is an experience of a lifetime! The white sand beaches, calm crystal clear waters, and vibrant flora of this ecological conservation refuge are sure to take your breath away and project you to a state of peace unlike any other. The Los Vivos Beachfront Experience includes a plethora of activities and amenities for all to enjoy. Whether you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind afternoon or a several day stay, Los Vivos is a place where you can find it all, unlike anything you’ve encountered before. 

The Los Vivos Beachfront Experience has an all organic restaurant onsite where food is sourced from the organic plantations system and Honey’s organic farmers market that she shares with the surrounding communities on Saturday’s. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner, serving some of the freshest foods you will find on the peninsula. Eden, the chef, is one of the Akerson siblings and has grown up with a direct relationship and appreciation for the process of cultivating, cooking, and consuming local, organic, and sustainably-sourced food. This certainly reflects in her dishes and cooking style. The restaurant also offers breakfast for guests who stay in the glamping accommodations. You may even be lucky enough to catch some live music performed by Heart himself! He is usually playing down at the restaurant around dinner time. This is an exceptional place to end the day by viewing a spectacular sunset on the beach with cocktails or fresh fruit smoothies and finishing up with a delicious dinner.

The Los Vivos Beachfront Experience accommodations have been built with a symbiotic blend of craftsmanship and nature. You will feel sheltered by the mountains and free from all the hustle and noise of the rest of the world. This humble hospitality does not lack in quality or charm. Although WiFi is provided, the idea is to offer the ideal setting to disconnect. Los Vivos offers a variety of glamping accommodation with the option of private and shared restrooms. These facilities are available for nightly and/or weekly rental options for individuals and groups alike. 

Sailing excursions, paddle boarding, kayaking, sports training camps, fishing, bioluminescence tours, yoga & wellness, plus retreats and special event hosting are just some of the activities your experience at Los Vivos can include. Los Vivos is a place for rebirth and personal growth. It is an excellent location for families and/or groups searching for an exclusive and transformative experience. The family and staff at Los Vivos strongly believes when you experience the essential elements of life, you find out just who you are. They hope that all Los Vivos visitors leave better than they were when they arrived and that these experiences inspire these individuals to interact with the rest of the world in positive manners within their own lives.

The Los Vivos family and team are eager to continue sharing these experiences with the public and create meaningful memories that make a lasting impression. When planning your next trip or event, be sure not to forget about including the Los Vivos Beachfront Experience into your plans. Come visit and see the novelty of this place for yourself.
