Unity: an intentional community in San Pedro, San Jose

- A permaculture garden. Growing vegetables on site according to permaculture principles.
- An event space. Hosting yoga classes, workshops, sharing circles and film screenings.
- From around 330 dollars a month. Booked through Airbnb or Coliving.com rather than the operator's own site.
- Stated strong internet. With a focus on personal growth and cultural experimentation.
Why It Makes Sense for Nomads
Costa Rica is the most straightforward country in Central America for a long stay, with a digital nomad visa, good healthcare and a real conservation record. San Jose is where the practical infrastructure is, and San Pedro is its university and arts quarter.
At around 330 dollars a month, this is one of the cheapest colivings in Costa Rica, where beach towns cost several times as much.
The intentional community framing is genuine and self-selecting. If sharing circles and permaculture appeal, this will suit; if you want a serviced room and privacy, it will not. Booking runs through third-party platforms rather than direct.
Pricing
From around 330 US dollars a month, booked via Airbnb or Coliving.com.
