The Sanctuary: Where Nature Meets Mindful Design
Experience the essence of mindful design at The Sanctuary at Two Rivers, where Japanese-inspired Tropical Modern Zen meets sustainable Costa Rican craftsmanship.
Our accommodations are a harmonious fusion of eco-conscious architecture and tranquil simplicity, co-created with the visionary Costa Rican firm Luz de Piedra.

Harmony with Nature’s Rhythms
- Thoughtful Positioning: Elevated above the forest floor to maximize natural airflow and immersive views of the jungle canopy—where howler monkeys and toucans glide through the trees.
