Lead your retreat where the jungle meets the Pacific.
A beachfront yoga shala and lodge for groups of up to 32. You bring the practice. We take care of the rest.
Imagine teaching with the ocean out front and the rainforest all around. Your open-air shala is ready.
At Ocean Forest, your students wake to the sound of waves, practice in a shala open to the sea, and spend their free time in primary jungle. Everything around them supports what you teach.
San Josecito beach, Drake Bay, Osa Peninsula.
A small ecolodge on Costa Rica's southern Pacific coast, surrounded by rainforest and facing the ocean.
- Beach. Our beach bungalows are two minutes from the water.
- Rainforest. Monkeys and toucans are common visitors around the rooms.
- Ocean. Dolphins year-round, on about 95% of boat outings. Humpback whales from December to late March, and again in July and August.
Part of the journey is already the retreat.
Your group arrives by boat at San Josecito beach, then walks 15 minutes along a flat, shaded path to the lodge.
A setting that does part of the work for you.
- A space that is only yours: the yoga shala is reserved for your group for the whole retreat.
- Full board: three meals a day, so no one has to think about food.
- Nature at the door: beach, river, ocean, and rainforest, with no driving needed.
- A team on site: someone is always there for setup, transitions, and the unexpected.
- Your stay, covered: the group leader stays free with 10 or more guests.
A 1,200 sq ft yoga shala, and the whole pagoda building for your group.
The pagoda building is yours for the whole retreat: the yoga shala on the second floor, the Dharma Hall below for rest and conversation, and a massage and meditation space at the top, with views of the sea and the garden. Props are included.
10 rooms, up to 32 guests. Single, double, triple, and shared.
Beach Bungalows × 3
Raised wooden bungalows two minutes from the sea, with a hammock on a balcony overlooking the Pacific.
Jungle Suites × 4
Spacious 40 m² suites in the upper part of the property, with windows onto the rainforest and hot-water showers.
Shared Group Rooms × 3
Flexible rooms for 2 to 5 guests, close to the yoga shala and set in the garden. Every room has its own private bathroom.
Stay connected, or not. Wi‑Fi is available in the social area and in some rooms, such as the Solo Bueno suites, but not everywhere. That's intentional: this is a place to disconnect.
Three meals a day, made here.
Balanced, farm-to-table meals prepared by our local chefs, with coffee and tea available throughout the day. Dietary preferences are accommodated.
