In the first of a new series, we highlight a hotel project that’s caught our eye – first up, five pods in the Costa Rican jungle.

In the spotlight: CoCo, Art Villas, Costa Rica

An unusual new option has landed in Costa Rica, in the form of CoCo, featuring five egg-shaped structures evoking a playful glamping-type option.

Focused on sustainable architecture hidden in the jungle, the ‘eggs’, form a part of Art Villas Resort, which sits on a steep 2.5-hectare jungle slope above Hermosa Beach, near the town of Uvita.

The owner of Art Villas asked architects Archwerk to create “a design that no one had seen before”; the result, they say, is “a nest of several shelters located on a fall overlooking the valley”.
