OFF THE GRID. ON A MISSION.

Get ready to connect deeply with nature, with the future, and with yourself. At Rancho Margot, we’re quietly and thoughtfully building a regenerative wonderland right in the heart of Costa Rica’s thriving mountain rainforest. And yes, you’re invited.

WELCOME

STEP AWAY FROM THE EVERYDAY

Nestled just forty minutes from La Fortuna in a mountain valley near the gateway to Arenal Volcano National Park and the shores of Lake Arenal, Rancho Margot is the perfect escape from the routine and ritual of everyday life. Here, you’ll find personalized experiences to help you get in sync with nature’s pleasing harmony.

Beyond an eco-resort, Rancho Margot is a burgeoning regenerative community. Our operations are designed to promote biodiversity and sequester carbon emissions. We constantly strive to find better ways to satisfy our needs without compromising the precious resources that will be needed for future generations. And with an unwavering commitment to education, it brings us true joy to introduce guests to the wonders of our world. Here on the ranch, “Pura Vida” (the pure life) takes on far greater meaning.

If you’re looking for the ultimate eco-resort experience in Costa Rica, look no further than Rancho Margot. Ranked by the Costa Rican Institute of Tourism as a 5-Leaves resort, our ranch is both carbon-negative and positively delightful. From our organic, onsite food production to our evolutionary energy mix, you’ll find that everything thrives in our little section of the rainforest, except wastefulness.

Rancho Margot is far more than a regenerative ranch in the heart of the Costa Rican rainforest. It’s also a place to celebrate life. For anniversaries, birthdays, reunions, even weddings — you simply won’t find a more unique backdrop to create unforgettable memories.
