Yoko is a new earth community that is just beginning to grow and brining so many beautiful souls together. I stayed in the Yoko village community space at the ocean jungle view glass house and my body and soul just felt at home. This relaxing atmosphere was so healing. At day time we had all kind of yoga, chi gong, belly dancing, meditations, sauna, ice bath …at evening time we had awakening talks, amazing high vibe food, life concerts of the best new earth musicians, dancing and playing music around the fire. Just they way I always imagined the new earth communities. Liran the founder is a sweetheart and his vision is so needed in our world.

I’m an investor in Yoko Village South and have been closely following the project since its inception. In April 2024, I lent Yoko $50K, and I’m happy to share that I received a 20% annual return in just 5 months, exactly as promised. I look forward to doing more business with Yoko, as the team consistently prioritizes its investors and lenders. Although there have been some project delays, I can clearly see that the vision is solid and well on its way to completion. Well done, Liran and the Yoko team!

Yoko is an amazing community with people who are super intentional about buying land and building in Santa Teresa. I’ve never met developers who actually care about the local community, flora and fauna and aim to build with conscious living in mind. I’m excited/proud to be a part of it!

We had the privilege to attend Yoko Connect this year. Along with the beautiful community space at Hummingbird Gardens was a vibrant and inclusive community of amazing people. The food was delicious. The hospitality was warm and welcoming. The speeches were inspirational and the classes were fun! We had an amazing time with our family and are excited to see how we can collaborate in helping Yoko's vision of a conservation friendly, eco-village come true.

I first heard about Yoko Village and its development in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica, back in early 2021. Having never heard of Santa Teresa, let alone step foot in Costa Rica, prompted me to research further. Reading up about Yoko Village ambitious long-term vision of building a network of global eco-villages in paradise settings as communities for remote workers/digital nomads, and Santa Teresa, a fairly undeveloped but super quaint and rustic beach town as a popular surfing destination and fast becoming the next hot spot (think Bali and Tulum), further fueled my fascination and fast-tracked up my bucket list of places to visit and potentially invest in.Fast forward to now, after having missed the first 2 Yoko Connect community retreats, I finally was able to attend the recent Yoko Connect held during this past end of January and had the opportunity to personally see what the hype on Yoko Village in Santa Teresa was all about. This was a 5-day long retreat held at a beautiful outdoor event space (Hummingbird Garden), jam-packed from morning to night with scheduled events ranging from wellness and development workshops, mini music concerts, community briefing updates, property tour, etc. During this retreat, I had the great pleasure of meeting and connecting with the Yoko Village team members, owner community members, prospective owners/investors, and some residents local to Santa Teresa area.As you all know, it's one thing to read about something, but it's a whole another level when experiencing it first hand in person. Couple thoughts on my overall experience:1) Firstly, part of the charm and appeal about Santa Teresa and its neighboring region is the remoteness and seclusion of the area, surrounded by nature…..everywhere you look, you're confronted with landscape of expansive lush jungle, fronted by miles of unspoiled beaches and the Pacific Ocean, where sunset that never gets old is a common daily occurrence. And it's within this serene and magical setting on the hillside (located literally just minutes from the beach) Yoko Village decided to build its eco-village community, and I now understand the inspiration behind Yoko Village's vision.2) Secondly, from my time spent during the retreat personally engaging with the Yoko Village family, my overwhelming impression is that Yoko Village is not just another real estate development. It's a community builder, not only of homes or communal amenities, but a community of people with shared values in prioritizing health and balanced lifestyle, one that embraces the mindset of living a life that is conscious and meaningful. To me, this is the key differentiator that enabled Yoko Village to stand out from the rest of the other real estate developers.3) Lastly, the most impactful takeaway for me from this visit was the people I had met at the retreat and the surprisingly unexpected number of meaningful connections I was able to make. In all honesty, as this was a solo trip, it's not always easy to connect with random strangers, and with that in mind, my main objective was simply to check out the Yoko Village project and Santa Teresa beach town. So, to my pleasant surprise, initial superficial meet and greets eventually turned into deeper and meaningful conversations with some of the folks I had the opportunity to spend more time with. So much so that as time passes, instead of being a retreat, there was a sense of comfortable familiarity and it started to feel like a gathering of family and friends.Needless to say, this visit to Yoko Village had been an eye opening and positive experience for me. After having experienced Santa Teresa first hand, and spending some quality time with the Yoko Village team and community members, it reaffirmed my convictions in Yoko Village and its grand vision. Yoko Village is embarking on a path of building something truly beautiful, and I for one am excited to be a part of it.

I have never visited a place more stunning in my life. Waking up to the breathtaking view and sounds of the jungle, basking in the sun by the pool throughout the day, and drifting off to sleep with the spectacular ocean sunset in view was an unparalleled experience. I highly recommend it!

I have had the pleasure of attending not one but two of the amazing Yoko Connect events. From the inspired speakers to the musicians to the food to the performances, and all the wellness amenities it’s a not miss experience. You can’t really understand this community until you experience it. I have met many friends from all walks of life that I know will be in my life for the rest of my life. The quality of the people that are drawn to Yoko is something you don’t often find. Santa Teresa is a magical place and Yoko is somehow capturing some of that energy and turning it into the community.. I can’t wait to see what they build next…

Staying in Yoko Village North was amazing. I visited Santa Teresa and Yoko Village from Seattle. The house is incredible: modern, state of the art high electronics and high end furniture, brand new, gorgeous finishes, 3 bedrooms, very clean, modern, private swimming pool. Wake up to howler monkeys and exotic bird calls. I highly recommend that you stay and experience this home. The location is super close to Santa Teresa, Playa Hermosa, and a lot of fantastic restaurants. You will love it!

My home, the first villa constructed in Yoko Village, represents a landmark achievement. I purchased the land in 2022, and I’m delighted to share that the house has already been rented for the first time during this festive season.I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the dedicated team who, despite the challenging rise in material costs in Costa Rica post-contract, upheld their commitment to excellence. The beauty of the house is matched only by its high-quality construction where each detail has been meticulously managed by the team.The attentiveness and responsiveness of the entire team have been exceptional, ensuring that every aspect of the project was executed flawlessly.Serrana Robledo, the architect, has outdone herself, delivering a design that is both aesthetically pleasing and functionally superior.I am deeply thankful to the entire team for their hard work and dedication. Their efforts have not only created a beautiful residence but also a valuable asset.When the bridge and the road are perfectly completed, which I have no doubt will happen, this house will be a paradise.I absolutely adore my new home and am confident that its quality and charm will make it a desirable choice for future residents.

What am incredible spot. Such an amazing and luxurious spot in the middle of the jungle. Perfect blend of getting away from any noises while still being afforded modern conveniences. The finishes on the house are fantastic and the service from the team was above and beyond. Eden was extremely responsive and sorted everything we needed. Thanks again!

I have been searching for a place where I could live a more sustainable lifestyle and connect with like-minded individuals. Yoko Village seems to be the answer to my quest. From the first interaction with the team, it simply felt like home. Their passion for preserving the natural surroundings and creating a sense of unity among residents was inspiring. The team's focus on eco-friendly practices and their commitment to building a mindful community aligned perfectly with my values. As a single individual, I was looking for a place where I could feel part of a larger family, and Yoko Village exceeded my expectations.I am a professional coach and they are just finishing building this beautiful event and retreat space where I could host retreats of my own, just like any other community member can. I live an active lifestyle and the event space is fully facilitated with an open-door gym. Just behind it are plenty of hiking trails where I did my morning walks. Everybody on the team and the people around them seem to live a healthy, active life. They already started with the weekly schedule at the event space, so I had the opportunity to participate in two yoga classes. A beautiful, colourful sunset served as the backdrop, and then millions of stars appeared above us. Pure magic. Although I am on my way back to Canada, I'm already planning to come back in January, most likely for the Yoko Connect event, which seems to be incredible.The warm camaraderie among neighbours and the willingness to support one another made me feel like I was truly at home. I am immensely grateful for experiencing and getting to know this incredible community. Thank you!

Magical. There really isn’t a better word to describe the experience that I had visiting Yoko Village. This is a place that has a soul. So beyond the thoughtfully designed residential and communal structures and the natural beauty of the Costa Rican jungle, there is a magnetism that attracts people who want to live in meaningful community. I had the opportunity to visit in August 2023 and I was very impressed with what is, but even more inspired by what will be. That is, the founders have an ambitious vision that is inspiring and I hope that make Yoko Village and its community a part of my life in the long term. Thank you to the team for an amazing introduction and I’m looking forward to my next visit hopefully very soon.

We were fortunate enough to attend the recent Yoko connect event and tour Yoko Village North. The event was great, a really lovely community, and lots of interesting thoughts and ideas being shared. The food was delicious too. We also loved the work planned and already completed for North Village. There is so much potential with the development whilst also retaining a huge connection with the natural surroundings.

The Yoko team and community is one of a kind,YOKO is more than a real estate development, it lives out its values of community and innovation.I fell in love with Santa Teresa when I first visited and quickly began to look at options for living in Costa Rica full-time, after attending Yoko Connect I gained so much information about real estate in Costa Rica and then decided to attend the second Yoko Connect. Both Yoko Connect events made me FALL in love with the community and the vision.I plan to become a Yoko Member, as there are many options available including a Joint Venture.If you are curious about Yoko the best way to get the full picture is attending Yoko Connect.You can have a beautiful home anywhere in the world, but you will only find this amazing community that Yoko offers.

What an amazing experience it was to visit this place, and I I'm thrilled to share my wonderful experience at Yoko North! The beauty and serenity of this place left me speechless. The breathtaking landscapes and tranquil atmosphere provided the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The attention to detail in maintaining the surroundings and ensuring a peaceful ambiance truly impressed me. I can't wait to return to Yoko North and immerse myself in its natural beauty once again. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a rejuvenating getaway!
