History

Habitas was founded in 2014 by Oliver Ripley, Kfir Levy and Eduardo Castillo. [3] The idea of the company was to produce events that brought people together and share interests such as music, food, and art. Its first event was a 24-hour gathering for 150 people on a private ranch near Los Angeles, California. [4] Habitas produced additional retreats for people in Nevada, Tulum, Ibiza, and California. The success of the events led to the idea of building a hotel based on the same retreat concept. [4]

The first hotel was launched in 2016 in Tulum, Mexico. [5] It was originally a popup hotel which was relocated to a permanent location in 2017. [6] The hotel is located on beachfront property and contains 35 rooms. [4] The only permanent structure is a community pavilion with everything on the property built and sourced locally. [1]
