The Osa Peninsula has a number of eco-lodges which cater to those wishing to have that style of experience. Based on our personal clientele, we saw a need for luxury and comfort. We listened carefully to what our guests were looking for in regards to accommodation, and then we built it. We want you to come to the Osa Peninsula and enjoy all the beauty, nature, diversity and wildlife to be seen here. At the same time we want you to go back to your villa at the end of the day and have all the creature comforts that you are accustomed to. We are sure you won’t be disappointed when you join us at the Oasis Osa Villas.

The Osa Peninsula is located on the Southern Pacific Coast of Costa Rica. National Geographic has dubbed this world premier rainforest destination as “One of the most biologically intense places on earth.”  

The Osa Peninsula is a true oasis of land, water, and life. Covering an area of just 700 square miles, the Osa’s geological history makes it home to an unparalleled amount of biodiversity.  The Osa is home to half of all the species in Costa Rica, that’s a staggering 2.5% of the entire biodiversity of the planet.  The pristine peninsula is bound on the northwest by Drake Bay, on the west by the Pacific Ocean, and on the east by the Golfo Dulce. The Osa Peninsula offers breathtaking, untouched scenery, secluded beaches, and abundant wildlife encompassing lush primary rainforest and a complex system of freshwater and marine resources.

Puerto Jiménez is a small, friendly town located on the Osa Peninsula.  There are approximately 3000 habitants in the town. Part of the appeal of Puerto Jiménez is that it is an off-the-beaten path destination. There is a quaint waterfront sprinkled with a few restaurants, the local pier and a swimming spot that is perfect for small kids. You can rent paddle boards and kayaks right along the waterfront and enjoy part of the day on the calm waters of the Gulfo Dulce. 

Take a walk on mainstreet and enjoy the small town charm. Puerto Jiménez is still very much a small fishing village with a friendly vibe. Check out one of the local sodas – a local place to eat a typical meal of rice and beans, pop into the few tourist shops, or just have a seat in one of the restaurants and watch the town go by. Puerto Jimenez is one of the main jumping off points for visiting Corcovado National Park. 

The town of Puerto Jiménez is located along the protected inner coastline of the Golfo Dulce (Sweet Gulf), one of only three tropical fjords in the world. The gulf itself is truly a hidden gem here in Costa Rica. You can head out exploring and find secluded beaches and the wonderful biodiversity of the region. Puerto Jiménez is the perfect destination for nature lovers, adventure seekers and those who want the peace and tranquility of an undiscovered paradise.

The Gulfo Dulce is a beautiful 80 degree turquoise oasis for marine life. A day on the water may have you within site of dolphins, turtles, rays, a variety of fish and seasonal whales. The Gulfo Dulce has a wide variety of beaches that are great for swimming, surfing, boogie boarding, kayaking, snorkeling and fishing. Surrounding the warm blue waters of the Golfo Dulce is a tropical rain forest with limitless hiking trails. An incredible amount of wildlife can be found here including but not limited to; all four species of monkeys found in Costa Rica (spider, white-faced, squirrel and howler), Poison Dart frogs, Morpho butterflies, anteaters, agouti, coati mundi, jaguars, ocelots, tapirs, crocodiles and margays.

The Playa Preciosa is actually named Playa Platanares. Locals have affectionately nicknamed the beach Playa Preciosa

Playa Preciosa is an extremely long beach where you can walk for miles in either direction. There are very few people here and most of the time you can have the beach all to yourself. Depending on the day there can be surfable waves or it can be extremely calm with small tide pools in which a toddler can play. There are palm trees along the beach providing shade as well as a perch for the famous Scarlet Macaws which can regularly be seen flying around this area.
