A land development studio
Building the places the world orbits.
Sumbea is the creative sun at the center — designing, developing, and stewarding regenerative communities, retreats, and land projects, grounded by the people and places that orbit it.

A note from the founder
"Don't try this at home…" 😉— the motto of my life
I had 9 near-death experiences looking for the best places on earth to live.
I experimented in all the places you don't want to live — and learned the best parts of the places you do. Collapsing to the floor of ambulances in countries around the world, I went looking for what environments actually produce the healthiest, most beautiful, most joyful human lives. It's really true. All nine of them.
Out of that came this — a culmination of the most magical places I've found, stitched together into one quiet invitation. A manifestation of the best places on the planet to live and visit, designed so our children can care for them for generations to come.
Please join us. Message us with any questions. We're welcoming every interested participant — because it's going to take a whole planet to rebuild the magnificent, magical home we all share.
