20 minutes along, worried we’d lost our way, we came upon a nameless resort sign and pulled in to see if we’d arrived. Where we had arrived was Blue Osa, a brand spanking new ocean-side yoga and spa retreat run by a couple of guys who’ve exchanged New York for paradise. The manager, Stephen (himself a cheerful Canadian expat), and the friendly resident dog greeted us and were happy to take us on a tour. (Sure, we were in a hurry, but this place is beautiful.)
Blue Osa’s small, open property has an ocean-view yoga room, Moroccan lamps and tile, clever buildings made from blue-painted shipping containers, and a long, languid swimming pool; it seems perfect for groups of couple-friends, or even a wedding party, and we’d happily be part of that group.
