This week at The ARK

Every class is included.

Muay Thai, yoga, strength, breathwork, circles and more are part of your membership or pass. Pick a class, then choose how to join. The schedule updates seasonally.

Membership is an invitation

Not a gym pass. A place in a living ecosystem.

The ARK World is a curated, international community of creators, builders and people who choose to live deliberately, where people gather, grow and create together.

We choose members carefully, to protect the community already here and to make sure you find the people who will push your work and life forward. What you bring matters as much as what you receive.

Not sure which one is right for you?

Four quick questions about how you’d spend your time here, and we’ll show which pass or membership makes the most sense.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What’s the difference between a pass and a membership?

Day and Week passes give you full access for that period, and you can buy one instantly. Memberships of one month and longer add guest passes, member discounts, and members-only events, and begin with an application.

How do I apply?

Send us an application, then meet someone from our team. Membership is curated, so every long-term member is someone we’ve gotten to know. Every application comes with a free day pass, emailed to you, so you can spend a day here while we get to know you.

What’s included?

Unlimited classes at the Shala, the Space Deck, ARK House, and the Jungle Gym, every day from 8am to 8pm. Courts are booked separately, at member rates.

Can I bring guests?

Yes. Month, 3-month, and 6-month members get 4 guest passes a month. Annual members get 8. Your guest arrives with you and stays with you. Passes reset monthly.

What about my kids?

Under 10, free. From 10 to 16, half your rate. From 16, their own membership.

Is food included?

No. La Cocineta and our cafés are paid separately. Members save on Farm products.

Can I stay overnight?

Membership covers the day. To stay the night, book with ARK Hospitality. Membership is included for every night of your stay.

I own land at The ARK. Am I a member?

Land and membership are separate. Stewards choose their membership, with a discount based on when they joined The ARK.

Is there a Costa Rican discount?

Yes. Costa Rican nationals receive a dedicated discount on every pass and membership.

Can I cancel?

Monthly memberships renew automatically. Cancel at least 7 days before your renewal date. Passes and longer memberships are paid upfront and are non-refundable.
