Stay with us in the Jungle Gayborhood

Come stay with us in our bamboo wonderland in the pristine jungle of Costa Rica. The retreat center is all new, with construction completed in December 2022. All cabins are handmade primarily from bamboo, and while they are protected from the elements and enclosed in mosquito netting, they are open air and have spectacular views of the jungle. All cabins share a gorgeous bamboo bathhouse and shower facilities.

We welcome you to enjoy your stay in the Jungle Gayborhood, finding the right balance between relaxation, activity, movement, community, nature, silence, and rest. We encourage you to unplug if possible, but Digital Nomads will be happy to find high-speed fiber optic internet (100MBPS). You can tailor your stay while you’re with us, options include:

• Exploring the jungle trails, waterfalls and rivers of the Diamante valley on our beautiful property, several natural swimming pools and waterfalls are accessible on our property, (clothing optional!)
• Participating in regular weekday morning classes, including yoga, meditation, breathwork, and movement. (included in the cost – schedule to be shared on site)
• Participating in additional workshops and events including ecstatic dance, aerial workshops, kirtan, breathwork, etc. (subject to an additional cost – schedule to be shared on site)
• Opportunity to book sessions with local healer practitioners, including bodywork, massage, vocal activation, trauma healing, herbal and natural remedy consultations and guided plant medicine journeys.
• Opportunity to book local excursions to other nature spots and places of interest in the Valley and surrounding areas, including visiting the weekly local farmers market, diamanté waterfall hike (all day), Nauyaca waterfall tour (half day) and a beach trip!*
• Share nutritious and delicious meals in community, prepared by our in house chef, with the opportunity to connect with others.
• Spend time immersed in nature and relaxing in your hand-crafted bamboo cabin, with comfortable and superior quality furnishings, overlooking the forest canopy.

While certain retreats and events are tailored to specific groups within the queer community (this will be clearly stated for the event), the hotel welcomes all people regardless of age, sexual orientation, gender identity, race, religion, body type, etc, and discrimination of any form will not be tolerated. To create a predictable and safe environment conducive to this type of healing, growth, reflection, and expansion, we ask all that come to our home align around these community agreements.

Price includes accommodation, use of facilities, and morning embodiment classes (such as yoga, meditation, etc) offered several days per week (schedule to be confirmed on site). This price does not include the cost of meals ($50/person/night, which is added in the ‘optional items’ section at checkout).

Our mission: The Jungle Gayborhood is a home for the queer community, where we aim to inspire personal exploration, radical self expression, and a sense of connection – internally, with community, and with nature. We actively cultivate practices that support these goals by consciously exploring embodiment practices, sacred plant ceremonies, permaculture, authentic relating, and sacred sexuality.

Doggo Notice: We have two very loving and friendly pups – Bodhi & Luna – who live here at the Gayborhood. Aside from the occasional barking spree at incoming cars, they are quiet, harmless, and very sweet. If you have any concerns about dogs being onsite, please reach out to discuss.
