Sobre Latica Lodge
Our
Philosophy
With many years of experienced hosting in Guanacaste, specializing in luxury villas, we, Karin, Olivier, Rachel and Mathieu (Canada) together with our magnificent team from Costa Rica, decided to join forces and creativity to initiate the wonderful adventure of La Tica Lodge.
We seek to convey with a fluent approach, the authentic
Costa Rica life. This exceptional country not only has beautiful nature in abundance, but above all, it offers a national culture, featuring kindness and generosity.
We own a unique place, where everything has been conceived so that our guests would naturally feel immersed
in a Pura Vida ambiance, and therefore, in the invaluable satisfaction of feeling at home.
As a result of our mission to provide an experience where authenticity, typical of the Costa Rican identity, could become an essential piece, framed by esthetic quality environment, envisioned by an acknowledged architect and an international artist, we created an innovative concept.
We believe that the warm treatment towards our guests, and the moments shared together, for example during the bonfires and meals, will boost the exchange between cultures and generations.
La Tica is located within a property of 3 acres, a very special place since it happens to be surrounded by 988 acres of all natural and virgin land.
Right here, during the 90’s, a big part of today’s residents and central pillars of Playa Negra, lived together as a big “hippie” family at Finca Los Pargos.
On these grounds were located their homes, restaurant, traditional old country warehouses and even the school where their children were educated, in harmonious community.
We meant to bring back to life, just as the Phoenix, the spirit and essence of such a place, honoring and recycling its original structures and its diverse functionalities. For example, our Yoga Hall, was the old meeting center, a place of social and cultural exchange, the heart of the property.
