Our Habitas is a global home for a global community of like-minded people seeking connection, inspiration and a better future together. Their experience is powered by music, wellness, art, adventure, food, learning and giving back. Through these pillars, they craft magical worlds of wonder in which strangers become friends and friends become family. This is what Our Habitas call luxury for the soul. Some experiences at Our Habitas have been so impactful that they have made them ritualistic, existing at each of their homes around the world in their own unique way. From the Welcome Ceremony to Family Dinner through to Storytelling and Sunday Sunset Sessions, Our Habitas seek to provide a new kind of hospitality where they bridge the gap between old-world luxury and experiential-first travel
