Ecotourism is responsible travel to natural places. A commitment to conserving the environment and to the sustainability of the well-being​ of the local people.

Blue Osa practices sustainable tourism through recycling, water conservation, low impact tourism, organic gardening and education to the guests through awareness on and off the property.

It will be a gathering of cOMmunity, as well as amazing farm-to-table food, yoga and outdoor adventures! Read more HERE.

Blue Osa is situated right on the beach, with tropical rainforest surrounding on every other side. The beach is a 30-second walk from Blue Osa. This makes it easy for guests to wake up in the morning at sunrise and stroll down to the ocean for a morning swim as the jungle awakens.

The beach is usually quite deserted, very scenic, and serene, providing opportunities for walks and exploration. There are no rip tides or undercurrents, which makes for some comfortable swimming.

We have world-class surfing right in front our property. In town you may rent a surf board and bring it to Blue Osa and from here, explore. The Blue Osa friendly staff can even arrange for you to take surf lessons if interested in learning.

The Osa Peninsula (where Blue Osa is located) is characterized by warm, breezy days, with highs between 82 and 92 degrees, and lows in the range of 75 to 85. Please take note, however, that the Osa Peninsula IS part of the rainforest, and is surrounded by jungle.

July and August and EVEN September are the best-kept secrets in South Pacific Costa Rica. Warm, sunny mornings and rain-cooled evenings are a welcome break from summer in the United States and Southern Europe. This is also a popular time for Costa Ricans to vacation in the South Pacific region, and it’s your opportunity to mix with the locals. July marks the start of sea turtle season—which spans from July to December—and the region’s Tortuga Beach is one of their favorite nesting spots. You may experience the unexpected pleasure of witnessing a baby turtle release.

You may also enjoy the possibility of seeing Humpbacks up really close.

Of course, don’t try looking for that information via online weather reports. This private oasis is so off the map, Google has yet to find it.

FUN FACT: The 19,730 miles (about the size of West Virginia) that make up Costa Rica actually houses 20 different climate zones! The bottom line? The time to visit is whenever you want!

The Retreat Center strongly encourages NOT to check the weather report for Blue Osa (or Costa Rica for that matter) on the internet. It is usually wrong and does not give an accurate picture of what to expect.

Furthermore, Blue Osa is in its own microclimate, and there is no accurate reporting on what to expect. Seriously, they aren’t kidding.

If you need some historical reference, please see Blue Osa’s WEATHER REPORT PAGE.

Yes, of course! Yogamour will be pleased to help you with travel arrangements. Please contact us HERE! Blue Osa also can also answer any of your travel questions HERE!

As of December 31, 2002 all Canadian, US and EU citizens who travel to Costa Rica for tourism and pleasure purposes need a valid passport. Please check your passport to make sure you have at least 6 months validity from the time you enter Costa Rica. If not, you should get a new passport before traveling. A visa is not required.

The most direct route to Puerto Jimenez from San Jose is to use one of the trusted air-carriers Costa Rica has to offer.

These air-carriers offer numerous flights from San Jose to Puerto Jimenez daily, with the one-way trip taking approximately 40 minutes.

It should be noted, however, that there are no late afternoon or evening flights with either air-carrier. The final flight is usually around 12 to 1 pm. Visitors arriving into the country in the late afternoon or evening should take this into consideration.

Check-in is Saturday, September 23 after 2pm, and check-out is September 30 at 10am (arrangements can be made to hang out a little longer as long as guests are out of the rooms). Be sure to be aware of these time stamps when making travel arrangement.

Check out this article for our suggestions on what to pack for your trip to Blue Osa. Additionally, keep these things in mind when deciding what items to bring:

*The Blue Osa Campus is located in the jungle/rainforest, so expect occasional soft tropical rainfall.

*The Osa Peninsula is characterized by warm, breezy days, with highs between 82 and 92 degrees, and lows in the range of 70-80.

*Wet items can take longer than expected to dry, especially during the green season and/or if the sky is overcast (laundry service is available for a fee of $29/load if you need to have clothes washed and dried).

*Blue Osa offers a guest drying area for clothes and towels.

*Moisture-wicking clothes will dry the quickest and will keep you coolest during hot and sunny days.

*If planning to go on excursions, it is recommended to bring shoes that you don’t mind getting wet and that have a good grip. A waterproof or dry bag can also be helpful if bringing a phone/camera along while out exploring.

*Blue Osa does have ants, mosquitos, and other small bugs that can occasionally be an annoyance — pack bug spray!

*There is a small store on-site with some essentials available to purchase, and there is a grocery store and pharmacy in town where you can find anything that may have been forgotten.

*Blue Osa DOES provide soap, shampoo, towels for the beach and shower and bed sheets.

Yes, Blue Osa accepts U.S. dollars. They do not accept any other cash currency.

An, it is not necessary to convert any money to local currency (colones) as all businesses happily accept U.S. dollars (however, expect your change to be in colones).

It is suggested to bring many small bills so you do not have to receive any change in colones. The current rate of exchange fluctuates and is around 600 colones for every 1 US dollar.

Yogamour will be offering a Gentle Yoga Flow every morning, and a Yin Restorative Yoga Class with Tibetan Singing Bowls every evening. This retreat can be tailored in an fashion that brings balance, peace and harmony for a meaning experience, so everything is optional. Blue Osa provides mats and blocks.

Blue Osa focuses on rest & relaxation and peace & tranquility; by communing with nature and getting back in touch with the inner self. For this reason, there are no televisions or hairdryers.

Blue Osa does have standard North American power outlets, so cell phone and computer batteries can be recharged.

Blue Osa is a low-impact beachfront eco-hotel, and works rigorously to reduce their carbon footprint and the impact on the surrounding environment. Thus, each room is equipped with a ceiling fan. The architectural design of Blue Osa allows for the constant flow of air through screen walls, creating a fresh and breezy environment. Thus, the vast majority of guests have reported being quite comfortable.

To help some of the guests adjust to this tropical environment, four of the rooms offer air conditioning – Om, Karma, Balance, and Namaste.

Blue Osa is committed to reducing their carbon footprint and supporting local farmers. With this in mind, they offer a variety of fresh, farm-to-table vegan/vegetarian meals.

Because of the difficulties in maintaining a minibar service at Blue Osa, we cannot provide for the consumption of outside food, drinks, or alcohol.

The Blue Osa bar is open throughout the day, and they offer a selection of beer and wine and refreshing specialty drinks.

Please remember that they are in the jungle, and that open bottles of alcohol and packages of food will attract unwanted visitors to the room. If you choose to consume privately bought alcohol, please do so in the privacy of your room or on the beach. Blue Osa does not allow privately bought alcohol in the dining room or at the pool.

Blue Osa offers a free WiFi service. This service is available in the main lounge area as well as the dining area. Since we practice mindfulness and silence in the mornings, the internet is turned off until 7:30 am.

While there are no phones in the rooms, guests are more than welcome to make calls at offtheice. The fee for this service is $2.00/min.

International cell phone service at the Osa can be sketchy, at best. Sometimes some phones will work, sometimes they won’t. Check with your service provider and ask them specifically about service in Costa Rica.
