Raxa Collective is a lodging company. Like our colleagues in other hospitality businesses we focus on the basics of choosing great locations, offering comfortable accommodations, and offering exceptional local cuisine. We also do our best to remain true to our distinctive roots: we are the creation of a company that has been innovating since the mid-1990s and we continue La Paz Group’s efforts to craft experiences with sense and sensibility.

Our business is lodging but our mission is conservation. The business side of our lodging activities is a means to an end that is of deep interest to the communities and ecosystems where we operate. We believe this separates us from most lodging companies.

We develop and manage hospitality businesses around the world that channel resources into the conservation of unique natural and cultural patrimony. Raxa is derived from the Sanskrit word Raksha, which means guardian or protector; Collective alludes to the innovative, collaborative efforts across properties, across diverse business models, and across regions of the world in the interest of entrepreneurial conservation.

We invite you to read about our initiatives on a blog that we have been maintaining since mid-2011. Since establishing that communication platform we have had more than 327,000 views to the daily posts, which tells us that our readers, many of whom are the travelers who visit the properties on this website, care.
