Self-Directed Residency: April 23-27, 2026

Witness the slow awakening of spring during this April Self-Directed Residency.

Self-Directed Residencies are for anyone seeking time and space to immerse in their creative, restful, exploratory or scientific pursuits while in an inspiring landscape and campus. Please review our Know Before You Go Handbook to see if a Self-Directed Residency at PLAYA is right for you!

🦅 Extend your stay at PLAYA by pairing your SDR with the Outback Dark Sky Celebration PLAYA Experience and stay at PLAYA for free the nights in between (a stay from April 16 to 27). Experiences are like Self-Directed Residencies, but elevated with a dinner and a field trip, evening presentation, and/or special event.
