The World's First Plant-Based Blue Zone Wellness Center Launches

Edited by The VEGPRENEUR Team

Mother Earth, Central America’s first luxury vegan hotel, announces its evolution into the world’s first Plant-Based Blue Zone Wellness Center, a sanctuary designed as a complete wellness ecosystem.

Known for its organic plant-based cuisine, natural saltwater pool, eco-luxury, and sustainable best practices, Mother Earth now orients its calendar around transformative retreats.

Located in one of the world’s five blue zones, Mother Earth beautifully merges with the natural landscapes of Costa Rica. The nation is home to extraordinary biodiversity, safeguarding cloud forests, dry forests, and two wild coasts. Within this natural paradise, Mother Earth invites guests to experience wellness in harmony with nature. Higher altitudes, sea breezes, and abundant greenery create cleaner moving air while the richness of local agriculture stimulates optimal living. The hotel’s design channels these rhythms into an integrated experience: calm spaces for deep rest, healing and energizing plant-based cuisine, and daily practices that restore balance.

“We have pioneered a safe space for all to come and share a monumental experience,” says Mama Aya, one of the five family founders of Mother Earth, “This expansion enables us to offer more light to the world. Costa Rica invites our guests to rediscover a slower rhythm of life—one that savors time, honors nature, and deepens our connection to it.”

Receiving high praise from guests, celebs, influencers alike, artist Redfoo, son of music icon Barry Gordy, is quoted in an instagram reel titled “Is @meveganhotel the best boutique hotel?” quote: “They are amazing—they’re the best hosts; they’re healers; they’re entertainers.” Instagram [embed photo with Mama Aya, Elwood, Redfoo, and Jasmine].

The Mother Earth Restaurant is 100% organic, plant-based, and farm-to-table. A research-backed menu features nutrient-rich plants such as oyster and lion’s mane mushroom, heart of palm, seasonal greens, and legumes. The cold-pressed juice bar serves mineral-rich greens and bright seasonal blends. To complement this, the Mother Earth kitchen practices a philosophy it has coined ‘culinary alchemy’™, the art and science of preparing meals that elevate wellbeing by pairing high-vibration whole foods with conscious, informed preparation techniques. “Made with love,” remarks Culinary Artisan, Jackie, “Contributing factors include a peaceful environment—which we are blessed to have here—and a tranquil state of mind.

Just as Costa Rica powers daily life with clean energy, Mother Earth mirrors that ethic on-site. The center operates on solar-supported efficiency, nourishes gardens with rainwater irrigation, maintains a natural salt-water pool, and runs a recycling and composting program. The design details and elements around the property each tell a prophetic story, including one-of-a-kind energy paintings, natural woodwork by Costa Rican artisans, and thoughtfully placed crystalline minerals. A natural mist-away system adds to outdoor comfort, and locally made bath products are made from flowers and fruits such as ylang ylang and papaya. The meditation studio opens up to a wrap around balcony with ocean and mountain views.

Guests positively impact the local community while visiting Mother Earth, as it sources from local, conscious businesses, partners with farmers, and participates in beach and ocean cleanups—channeling a portion of retreat revenues into a rotating give-back program.
