Umaya Village has become Noma Collective

The Noma Collective was an idea born of friends and brought to life on a peninsula in Belize. The success of our first project; Umaya Village saw over 250 guests visit us at a beautiful resort, nestled between the lagoon and the ocean. We worked, we played, we grew, we shared, we became more than just a travel concept, we became a community.

Adam

Adam

Umaya was my first step into remote work. As a digital event producer I was nervous but I facilitated events viewed by 1m+ people across 50+ countries. I now have more freelance work than ever before.

Louise

At Umaya you have a community of people which you can socialise with, learn from, go on trips and build genuine friendships with. I got to learn about so many different professions and the skill sharing was a really valuable aspect of the experience for me.

It was clear that this is the place I needed to be; Interesting people doing interesting things.⁠ The big takeaways are; great beaches, nice relaxing atmosphere and really cool people to hang out with on the regular.

Umaya Village is not just an office upgrade, but is a space where you can connect with kind and curious nomads from around the world while immersing yourself in local culture. I am walking away from this experience with new skillsets, perspective and most importantly, beautiful new friends.

Kennedy

Coming to Umaya, was such a wonderful decision! It gave me the “coworkers” I’ve never had.⁠ The break in my normal pace and change of space has allowed me to focus on myself and grow in ways I couldn’t have dreamed.

Mark

Mark

The vibe is much better than traditional retreats as you live in a community of awesome new friends, rather than with transient strangers who claim loungers by leaving towels on them! Am super keen to come back and get more involved for sure. This place and the people are great.
