With sustainability at the core, ENVI Lodges recreates the luxury of five-star amenities in uncharted territories, with immersive experiences embedded throughout. With their inaugural projects debuting in KSA, the company has its sights set on international expansion, partnering with The Islita Developments to operate ENVI The Islita, a unique resort in Punta Islita, a secluded ocean-cove destination on Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula. With Costa Rica setting its sights on becoming the first carbon-neutral country in the world, the destination is aligned with ENVI’s commitment to responsible tourism. ENVI The Islita will comprise 31 guest units made of canvas and wood, as well as 26 low-impact villas that will be sold to individual owners and put back in a rental pool to be managed by ENVI Lodges.
Facilities will include jungle lounges immersed in nature, a pool, and a communal dining experience. Local chefs, farmers and craftsmen will connect with guests and celebrate food, culture, and the natural surroundings of the peninsula. The resort will also feature a holistic wellness centre conceptualised by Meraki Wellness Consultants, bringing together a collective of experts specialising in alternative therapies, meditation practices and regenerative health. Other facilities will include mountain bike trails, natural springs, rope courses, a surf skate park and pickle ball, appealing to guests of all ages. The project’s focal point will be a centrally located community hub, an education, training, and business incubator designed to empower and create jobs for the local community.
