Tucked deep in the rainforest, far from any landline, lies Rancho Margot – a sustainable eco-lodge designed to reconnect you with nature. Surrounded by vivid jungle, it offers an all-encompassing environment where everything serves a purpose and exists in harmony with its surroundings.
Guests are invited to slow down and live intentionally, with daily yoga classes offered in this off-grid paradise.
Recognized in 2012 as Costa Rica’s first carbon-negative company, Rancho Margot remains one of the country’s most sustainable eco-lodges. With natural spring-fed pools and a minimal environmental footprint, it’s no wonder this hidden retreat is so highly sought after.
The story of Rancho Margot begins with Juan Sostheim, who left a background in the fast food industry in search of a better way to live and work – one that wouldn’t come at the planet’s expense. Today, the team at Rancho Margot is deeply committed to both their guests and the environment, offering a wide range of on-site activities and immersive programs.
For those curious about what happens behind the scenes, the lodge offers a 6-day Sustainable Living Immersion Program. It’s designed to help participants rebuild a meaningful connection with nature while learning practical best practices in areas like waste management, mindful consumption, responsible production, and the role of food and energy in sustainable living.
