Why SIIVANA Exists
We believe travel can be a force for good—for the traveler, for communities, and for our planet.
Our Story
SIIVANA was born from a simple observation: the most transformative travel experiences happen when we slow down, connect with nature, and embrace the wisdom of local cultures.
Our founders spent years traveling to remote corners of the world, from the cloud forests of Costa Rica to the rice terraces of Bali, seeking out the places where conscious living wasn't just a trend—it was a way of life.
What they discovered was a network of remarkable eco-lodges, sustainable hotels, and regenerative retreat centers, all sharing a common vision: that hospitality could heal rather than harm, that luxury could coexist with responsibility.
SIIVANA—meaning "Oasis of Enlightenment"—was created to connect conscious travelers with these extraordinary places. We curate transformative retreat experiences that leave you renewed and leave the world a little better than we found it.
Our Values
These principles guide every partnership, every retreat, and every decision we make.
Sustainability
We partner only with properties that prioritize environmental stewardship and regenerative practices.
Wellness
Our retreats are designed to nourish body, mind, and spirit through intentional programming.
Ethical Travel
We ensure fair wages, local employment, and positive community impact at every destination.
Cultural Respect
We celebrate and preserve local traditions, always traveling with humility and curiosity.
Our Vision
We envision a world where every journey deepens our connection to nature, expands our understanding of different cultures, and contributes to the well-being of local communities.
By 2030, we aim to have facilitated 10,000 transformative retreat experiences, supported 100 sustainable properties, and contributed to the conservation of 50,000 acres of natural habitat.
