Origins Luxury Lodge
History & Story
The owner bought the land without intention of building anything, and without stepping foot on the estate in 2015. A first time traveler to Costa Rica, he discovered the place physically months later and was impressed by the untouched beauty of the place and the sense of going back to the origin of life. The land needed to be handcrafted, a master piece that melts with the nature symphony of animals, flora & fauna, birds, wind, & natures sounds. Origins was born with the idea of creating circular buildings as our Pre-Colombian Indian groups where energy comes in with the sunrises and goes out with the sunsets.
