EVIA Life Resort

Ten jungle villas arranged in small private clusters, each with a saltwater pool and 270-degree views of canopy and Caribbean through open-air ventilation, no AC required. This new luxury resort in Puerto Viejo was born after the Slovenian founder rented a local's house and never left; that same local now runs the property. Cacao ceremonies and BriBri community visits are on the activities list, and the team planted 900 species after building, apparently to apologize to the jungle.
