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]

gollark: I duckduckgoed myself, and I found a Twitter account of someone in the US with the same name who just retweets random political stuff, a consultant company of some sort named "[REDACTED] & Associates", a page for someone working at "ZDNet", a Wikipedia article and a LinkedIn page. Weird.
gollark: Could you put a thin layer of glass on top of plastic, or would that be a "problems of both, benefits of neither, exciting new problems too" kind of situation?
gollark: Actually, how come tempered glass is used instead of plastic, which would *not* randomly explode as far as I know? Strength?
gollark: Great, you've made me scared of shower doors, at least until I inevitably forget that.
