About Finca Malama

Mission & Vision

Finca Mālama is a holistic wellness retreat and working farm in the hills of San Vito, southern Costa Rica. Mālama — to care for, to tend, to protect — is how we treat this land and everyone who comes to it. We grow most of our own food, tend our own coffee and sugarcane, and practice permaculture across our 17 acres. Guests eat from that abundance and rest in genuine stillness, far from the tourist circuit.

Great place to unplug!
I had an overall great experience at the retreat. The food was wonderful, and spending time on Tiffany and Colin’s land was incredibly peaceful and grounding. It was the perfect opportunity to unplug from daily life, slow down, and reconnect with myself in a meaningful way. The atmosphere felt welcoming and restorative, and I left feeling refreshed.

One area that could be improved is providing clearer pictures and more transparent information about room options, pricing, and availability, especially for larger groups. My accommodations ended up changing during the retreat, and the updated arrangement did not feel fully aligned with what I originally expected when booking. More clarity upfront would help set expectations and make planning easier for guests.

Overall, I genuinely enjoyed the retreat and appreciated the opportunity to spend time in such a peaceful and restorative environment.

A great place for relaxing
When our family decided to have a destination reunion this place stood out as the best fir our family. It was a beautiful place. Quiet, secluded, family oriented. The food was OUTSTANDING, the workers kind and helpful.
The best part the food was plentiful, all natural and mostly grown right on the acreage. The owner took us on a tour and explained what was growing, how its ripened. Oh the coffee beans are also grown there, and its EXCELLENT (I purchased 2 bags to bring home).
All in all a great place to visit.
Thank you so much Colin and Tiffany ( the chef).
