If you’ve ever dreamed of waking up to the sound of howler monkeys, sipping your coffee surrounded by green or living life at a slower pace… Costa Rica might be knocking at your door.
For many people considering a move abroad, Costa Rica offers a lifestyle that feels grounded, healthy and deeply connected to nature.
Peaceful, Safe & Kind
They call it the Switzerland of Central America, and for good reason: it’s one of the most stable, peaceful and environmentally conscious countries in the world. There’s no army, the government actively protects nature and more than a quarter of the country is made up of protected areas. A rare commitment in today’s world.
People usually feel it as soon as they land… the energy here is just different. Softer, calmer, more spacious. It’s one of the many reasons families, digital nomads, entrepreneurs and anyone seeking a more intentional lifestyle choose to move to Costa Rica.
Developed But Not Too Much
Beyond that, Costa Rica has this magical blend of development and Latin warmth. The infrastructure is solid, the healthcare system is excellent and people are genuinely kind. The locals (“Ticos”) are welcoming, easygoing and always ready with a smile or a “pura vida.”
And the nature… it’s absolutely breathtaking. Volcanoes, beaches, mountains, jungles, waterfalls. The biodiversity is mind-blowing. It’s one of those places where you constantly catch yourself saying wow, this is real life?
For anyone exploring eco-living, regenerative living or community-oriented lifestyles, Costa Rica offers one of the most inspiring environments in the world.
Can I Live Here Legally?
On the practical side, acquiring residency isn’t complicated either. With an investment of over $150,000, you can apply for residency and start building your life here.
Many people moving to Costa Rica choose this route because it provides stability and opens the door to living long-term in a safe and nature-rich environment.
(As always, it’s wise to check the latest requirements with an immigration professional.)
Disclaimer: Costa Rica Won’t Solve Your Problems
If you come to Costa Rica hoping it’ll fix your life, it probably won’t. Whatever you’re running from has a way of catching up, no matter where you go.
Costa Rica gives you space to breathe and reflect. It holds up a mirror and gently reminds you of who you are when the noise fades.
Our environment shapes us more than we realize. When we live surrounded by trees, birds, rivers, and kind people, it’s easier to feel grounded and aligned.
So… moving here isn’t about escaping your life. It’s about creating a better one. A life that feels intentional, slower, healthier and more connected.
Giving More Than What We Take
It’s also about what you bring. The best relationships with this country happen when you come in with respect and curiosity; wanting to integrate, to contribute and to connect with the local culture.
Some people move to Costa Rica thinking they’ll just hide away in a gated community or live completely on their own. Ecovilla is about building community while staying integrated with the local culture.
At Ecovilla, you get the support and inspiration of like-minded people. It’s far much safer & fulfilling than being isolated. And for many, this kind of intentional community in Costa Rica becomes one of the biggest gifts of moving here.
