Welcome to Finca Mālama, a nature-meets-luxury retreat center nestled in the lush mountains of southern Costa Rica. Your stay includes eco-conscious lodging constructed within the past two years, with our rooms at The Sol as the newest addition. Each space is thoughtfully designed to balance comfort, beauty, and connection with nature. Guests enjoy farm-to-table breakfast, prepared with fresh ingredients from our land and served buffet style in our dining room. Morning coffee from our farm, sugar and tea are included, as well as complimentary homemade organic body care products to enhance your stay. All rooms are oriented toward the sunrise over the Talamanca mountains and Volcan Baru.

We are Colin and Tiffany, a husband and wife team who created Finca Mālama. Together, we blend our passions for hospitality, ecology, and wellness to create a sanctuary where guests can slow down, reconnect with nature, and enjoy the richness of local culture. Colin has over a decade of experience as an education and events director at an eco-village. He brings a keen eye for detail and a deep respect for ecosystems into everything he shares—whether it’s guiding a coffee farm tour, explaining permaculture practices, or leading nature walks through the property. Tiffany is a certified Plant-Based Chef, wellness guide, and retreat facilitator with years of experience supporting people in personal growth and holistic living. She curates nourishing farm-to-table meals, facilitates wellness experiences, and brings warmth, creativity, and care into every guest interaction.

We are located in a small village community, where most neighbors have lived their entire lives or are family. As one of the few foreign families here, we feel deeply welcomed. The village is quiet, safe, and peaceful, offering a truly authentic Costa Rican experience alongside the comforts of our retreat.
