– A place to unwind – A place to grow –

Our Story

In 1980, Heart and Honey set out on a journey aboard a sailboat that Heart crafted himself, leaving Oregon behind in search of a new life.

During their adventure, they discovered a hidden gem: Playa Los Vivos. For over 40 years, they have made this beautiful farm their home, raising their nine children amidst the lush tropical landscape. Embracing a life of simplicity and sustainability, they thrived on locally sourced food, fishing, and living harmoniously with nature’s gifts. Today, their remarkable sanctuary is dedicated to preserving this unique environment and sharing its spiritual and healing qualities with visitors from around the globe.

The idea is that when people come here, engage in various activities, and when they depart, our hope is that they leave feeling a bit more elevated, better, healthier, with greater respect for the world… a touch happier, and more in tune with nature than when they arrived.” ~ Heart Akerson
