Habitas (stylized all caps HABITAS) is a hospitality management group. It operates clubs and lifestyle hotels with its flagship location in Tulum, Mexico.[1] In addition to its flagship hotel in Tulum, it is building other hotel properties in Malibu and Namibia.[2]
History
Habitas was founded in 2015 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 party 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 32 rooms which are tents made of luxury canvas.[4] The only permanent structure is a community pavilion with everything on the property built and sourced locally.[1]
