Disconnect To Reconnect

Come escape the winter and reconnect to yourself and to the pristine nature at the Luxury Eco Resort, Playa Viva!  This Eco Resort is an environmentally conscious hotel dedicated to sustainability and regenerative practices, as well as supporting local projects, such as the turtle conservation camp.  It is an all-inclusive resort (bar drinks not included) serving 4 organic farm-to-table buffet meals per day.  With an emphasis on health and wellbeing, the salad/fruit bar and buffet are mostly vegan and vegetarian, with locally sourced fish and meat options for lunches and dinners.

Accommodations will be 2-4 person occupancy mahogany casitas, nestled in the lush tropical vegetation, against the background of the crashing waves. The open-air style construction offers an intimate connection with nature and a lovely perpetual ocean breeze.
