OUR HABITAS

Discover the story behind the Our Habitas hotel brand, its concept, and all the hotels in its collection.

Our Habitas is an international hotel group offering sustainable hotels, where the experience of well-being, gastronomy, music, art and adventure blend.
Founded by entrepreneur Oliver Ripley in 2016, Our Habitas’ mission is to create human connections and support local communities, by imagining unique hotel experiences around the world.
The brand opened its first hotel in 2017 in Tulum, Mexico. It has expanded to other fashionable destinations such as Bacalar, Todos Santos and San Miguel de Allende in Mexico, Santa Teresa in Costa Rica, Al-Ula in Saudi Arabia, Atacama in Chile, and the Kalahari Desert in Namibia.
Our Habitas has also created a sub-brand called Caravan by Habitas, with hotels located in the Agafay desert and on the shores of the Dakhla lagoon in Morocco.
The brand has numerous opening projects, notably in Saudi Arabia, and plans to expand into Asia, Thailand and Bhutan.
These breathtaking destinations invite passionate travelers in search of exceptional moments and unexpected discoveries to experience the adventure of a lifetime.
