Kopali Communities is a Triple Bottom Line organization dedicated to the creation of modern, contemporary eco-villages in Costa Rica - with a amazing tropical climate, an abundance of local, healthy, organic foods and clean, chemical-free drinking water.

We are a growing team and community of farmers, entrepreneurs, developers, artists, teachers, architects, dreamers and doers from all walks of life.

With our many years of experience in community development, agriculture and Permaculture, Kopali Communities is changing the way residential development is done.  Kopali is redefining the standard of  "green living" while pushing the limits of sustainability towards the cutting edge.

Our communities are not just collections of houses or conventionally master-planned developments.  Nor are they typical sub-divisions or "exclusive neighborhoods" for the wealthy - a Kopali Community is however, a celebration of life, a living and breathing organism in which lives are harmoniously enriched through healthy and sustainable lifestyles. 

Our name "KOPALI"

Kopali is an ancient Mexican Nahuatl word meaning "incense" - particularly identified with the forms of aromatic tree resins used by many decendents of pre-Colombian Mesoamerica as a ceremoniously burned incense.  To us, it represents the lifeblood of trees, our commitment to the indigenous cultures of our planet and as a reminder of our sacred connection to the natural world in which we all belong.
