Our Story
The seaside haven of warmth, tranquility and restoration
A place to unwind
A place to grow
Nestled in the scenic foothills of Bahia Ballena Tambor Bay, Costa Rica, lies Playa Los Vivos—a secluded paradise, and one of the country’s best-kept secrets. This hidden gem is part of Finca Orgánico El Tajo, an organic farm that champions sustainable practices. Not only does Los Vivos care for the surrounding environment, but it also supports dozens of families who benefit from its organic plantations.
A Story Of Adventure, Love & Family
Rich with unique species, this sanctuary has flourished under the care of the Akerson family, who first set sail from Oregon and arrived here in 1982. Over the past 40 years, Heart and Honey Akerson have raised nine children amid the lush, tropical jungle, creating a life straight out of a storybook. Each family member brings unique talents to Los Vivos, making it an experience as magical as it is real.
Immerse Yourself In Natures Wonders
The Akersons recently opened The Los Vivos Beachfront Experience, inviting adventurous souls to share in the beauty of their home. Accessible only by boat, Los Vivos offers a rare chance to disconnect from the world and immerse yourself in nature’s wonders. This pristine ecological refuge, with its white sands, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant flora, exudes an energy that leaves visitors in awe. As the Akersons open their paradise to you, they invite you to explore, grow, and make memories that will last a lifetime.
A Reason To Disconnect & Discover
At Los Vivos, every element has been thoughtfully crafted to enhance the deeply spiritual environment. Accommodations reflect this harmony, blending craftsmanship with nature in a way that shelters you from the bustle of the world. WiFi is available, but Los Vivos encourages a digital detox, allowing you to embrace the simplicity and peace of the jungle. The team at Los Vivos believes that connecting with nature’s essentials can lead to personal rebirth and self-discovery, and they hope that each guest departs with a renewed spirit, inspired to bring that positivity back into their everyday lives.
This is more than a destination—it’s a journey into Costa Rica’s heart and soul, a place you’ll never want to leave.
