About this space
The space
This space is part of a project called ‘The Baja Station’
Our philosophy is based on bringing together art, science and nature to create the ultimate environment for human learning, creativity and wellbeing.
Our dream is to create something like a school or university combined with all the pleasures of an eco-beach resort. A place to attract and accommodate brilliant minds from across the spectrum seeking an inspirational place to work, play and commune with kindred spirits.
The Baja Station is an off-grid facility and our solar power provides all the basic comforts, which include: refrigeration, unlimited high-speed Starlink wifi, lights, fans and device charging capabilities and hot water. All our water is delivered by truck from San Jose and stored in a tank so please help us practice water conservation wherever possible.
This bedroom has a queen size bed and a small work desk. There are two main windows with a great view across the village. The main wave of La Fortuna is blocked from view of this room by the restaurant in front, but you can see much of the ocean. There is also a door that connects with the king bedroom next door, which remains locked whenever the rooms are not booked together.
We believe community is an important part of living life to the full, so we have put effort into creating beautiful common areas to be shared by our residents and guests. These include our Palapa lounge with our giant leather sofa and hammocks that provides a nice cool area during the daytime sun to hang out and relax. There are a range of musical instruments available to play as we love music and always welcome a jam session.
The Baja Station Beach Lodge currently has capacity for 14 guests between four rooms and we are currently adding more. Currently there are two outdoor showers and one toilet shared by everyone (second one on the way).
If you are seeking luxury and privacy, this probably is not the place for you. However if you like the idea of social living in a rustic/artistic environment with like-minded people, then this will be right up your street.
Our communal kitchen features a giant 12-seater table allowing everyone to dine together and for a very reasonable price you can enjoy delicious traditional Mexican meals lovingly provided by Consuelo, our onsite cook.
We also have a second outdoor lounge area with fire pit, looking over the village and the Waikiki break, perfect for enjoying sundowners and starry nights.
Sustainability is a key priority for The Baja Station which means we are developing all sorts of green initiatives and techonologies like water recapture from our showers, composting toilets, waste recycling and upcycling, food production and so on
Adventure and play is what we love, so there is a range of surfboards available for rent along with a range of watersports equipment and beach swag. We can also organise transport to town, surf surfaris and a range of other experiences in the area for you.
I currently live across the arroyo in a converted school bus with my dog Papaya and so I will be available each day to answer questions and help you make the most out of your time with us.
Guest access
You will have access to your bedroom area and all common spaces including: kitchen/diner, outdoor lounge, indoor palapa lounge, storage, WC and shower.
Other things to note
We live in close proximity with our neighbours and the other residents of La Fortuna, which is a quiet place. We value and encourage music making and playing, although we request our guests join us in keeping the volume to a minimum after 9pm on week days and 11pm on weekends.
