A place built
around connection.
Rivel is a private rainforest estate created for groups to slow down, reconnect and experience Costa Rica together. Surrounded by nature, the estate brings accommodation, dining, movement, recovery and shared spaces together in one secluded setting.
A private estate in the rainforest.
Rivel sits in the mountains above Turrialba, Costa Rica, on a private estate of around 100 acres, with the forest and the river never far from any door.
It was shaped around a simple idea: that a place can change how a group spends its time. Away from town and from the pace of ordinary days, there is room to be properly together. Paths wind between the buildings, the sounds are of water and birds, and the surrounding landscape is part of every day rather than a view from a window.
Because the estate is private, a group is not sharing it with strangers. The mornings, the meals and the evenings belong to the people who came.
Four ideas shape the estate.
-
Connection
Space designed for groups to spend meaningful time together.
-
Nature
Rainforest, river and landscape are part of the everyday experience.
-
Movement
Training, yoga, outdoor activity and exploration are part of the stay.
-
Recovery
Room to slow down, restore and reconnect.
Everything in one place.
Rivel brings the main parts of a group experience together on a single estate, so the program can flow without anyone leaving.
A journey through the estate.
The days are shaped around the group, moving from shared rooms to shared tables, from training to the river.
-
01
Stay together.
Private accommodation keeps the group connected while allowing everyone their own space.
-
02
Gather naturally.
Shared spaces create room for meals, conversations, celebrations, workshops and events.
-
03
Move with purpose.
Training, movement and outdoor experiences make the landscape part of the stay.
-
04
Recover completely.
Pools, sauna, massage and the river create space for restoration.
Nature is part of the experience.
Rainforest, river and mountains surround the estate. Trails lead out from the buildings, water is always close by, and birdlife and wildlife share the grounds.
Open-air spaces make it easy to move outside between sessions, whether that means a walk before breakfast, a swim after training or a long evening beside the water. Nothing about the setting is staged; it is simply where the group is.
Designed for time together.
Rivel is designed around the idea that the best group experiences happen when everyone has space to connect, move, eat, explore and recover together.
The estate suits groups of roughly 5 to 40 people, and the program is shaped with each organiser rather than fixed in advance.
