Playtopia –
Our Signature Event

openart-image_W-tK6gXX_17353969375877_raw.png

Playtopia is a twice-yearly co-created immersion into regenerative living, sacred play, and conscious community in the lush jungles of Costa Rica.

 

This isn’t just a retreat — it’s a living, breathing invitation to co-create the village your inner child always dreamed of.

​Upcoming Events

Our Permaculture Farm

Nestled on 14 hectares of forest and fruit trees, our farm is a space to connect with nature and explore simple, regenerative ways of living. We grow food, care for animals, and experiment with systems like agroforestry, composting, and bioferments — always learning by doing.

Protopia provided me and my retreat guests with an unforgettable nature immersion experience in the lush jungle of Costa Rica. The heart warming team made it easy to arrive and feel home. Thank you for this wonderful experience.

Retreat Organizer

Hosting a retreat at Protopia was exceptional. Built from organic materials sourced from the surrounding forest. With clean spring water, off-grid living, and reliable high-speed internet, Protopia is a sanctuary where sustainability, intentional living, and modern convenience unite seamlessly.
