Costa Rica Event Center
We are very excited about a new planned project for the Osa region of Costa Rica which will be a Costa Rica Event Center. The
owners of Las Villas de San Buenas have been working for several years on the idea and location for the Costa Rica Event Center, while at the same time I was tirelessly looking for the right in-country partner to engage with, in order to build my dream of an event center in Costa Rica. Collectively, we have been working behind the scenes for several years to get it to this point and now they are starting to share a bit of information at this time. Nick Halverson and I have known each other for years – and our timing was perfect.
Vision for the Costa Rica Event Center
The vision for the Costa Rica Event Center is a destination to host a hybrid of events, including, but not limited to:
- Travel & tourism
- Costa Rica Real estate investing training and tours
- Yoga (scheduled locally and yoga retreats)
- Writers Retreats
- Entrepreneurial Mastermind Events
- Photography Retreats
- Corporate Training
- Corporate Retreats
- Pilates
- We will also rent out the space to other retreat leaders who would like a beautiful space and location
- Self-renewal events…the ideas are endless.
With an event center at its hub, and private cabinas within 100 yards, this project promises exciting opportunities for retreat coordinators, event planners, wedding planners, tour operators, real estate investors, and the local community for private events.
Our live event opportunities provide participants a platform for people to meet people on a social as well as business level. The types of events will range from yoga retreats, business masterminds, hands on workshops, educational seminars, destination weddings, renewal of vows, honeymoons, tours,activities and attractions.
Environment is Intertwined with the Design
We have surveyed the area, cleared an old logging road (from 50 years ago) and marked all old-world and protected trees with GPS, to ensure we have minimal impact on the existing land. Our planned location of the Costa Rica retreat center located adjacent to a quebrada (stream/creek) that flows all year (including during the dry season). Thanks to the jungle tree canopy, it is rarely too sunny or too hot (it can get a bit humid – you are in a tropical rain forest after all!) and given the proximity to the creek, simply take a refreshing dip to cool off.
In fact, not only is it planned to be in the middle of a jungle, next to a river, but it is also only a five minute walk to an amazing waterfall.
Retreats
The basic concept of a retreat is to get away from your daily routine so that you can see things from a fresh new perspective. Retreat opportunities are available for yoga and Pilates practitioners, we also do writers retreats, photography retreats, as well as spiritual and personal development retreat.
Workshops, Seminars, Clinics
These types of events will be for coaches and consultants to work with their clients on expanding their projects and business. It is not all about business however. For example, golf clinics could available for helping golfers up their game, and being able to practice and play at the nearby golf course. Workshops, seminars and clinics may also be about a specific profession for example photography. Photographers need to learn about the latest techniques technology and equipment. Real estate investors need to learn about the market and learn from experienced professionals.
Entrepreneur Masterminds
Mastermind events are designed to get clients through various stages in the lifecycle of their business growth. Sometimes business owners reach a plateau and can not understand why they are not growing. By masterminding with other entrepreneurs, business owners and business leaders can learn ideas and insights from others that may have had a similar challenge. No matter what level in the organization someone is, or the size of the business, it is always a good idea to reflect, and possibly, rethink, processes in order to break through business challenges.
Destination Weddings and Vow Renewals
Getting married to the person you want to spend the rest of your life with should be memorable. The event itself and the environment should also be unique. Imagine going through your wedding photo album and seeing pictures in exotic rain forest settings and tropical plants and animals.
Another wonderful Costa Rica wedding option is to have your ceremony at one of the numerous beaches here in the Osa/Bahia Ballena region. The sounds of the waves crashing, the sun beginning its beautiful blaze orange decent at the end of the day, and you and your guests may be lucky enough to see whales or dolphins in the ocean (depending on the time of year). Let us help you and your special someone, begin your new life together, with an amazing Costa Rica destination wedding.
We can provide you with a turn-key in-country wedding solution for you and your guests. We work with several hotels in the area and can also provide vacation home rental options.
We are in the final planning stages of the Costa Rica Event Center, and every day we are more optimistic about hosting future events at what will be an amazing Costa Rica destination. In the meantime, if you have an interest in photography as a beginner or professional, we invite you to attend our next Costa Rica Photography Retreat.

Hola! I am writing on behalf of a local band that plays classic rock. We would love to play events at your center. We are a three piece band: Dave plays guitar and sings, Peter plays bass, and I play drums. The drums are electronic so they sound real but the volume can be adjusted as high or low as is appropriate for the event and venue. We are called the Costa Ballena Rockers, and we play Tom Petty, The Doors, Credence Clearwater Revival, Rolling Stones, Steve Miller and more. We have decades of experience between the three of us and have played locally at the Jolly Roger, Rock y Mas, Rio Lindo, La Mona Grita and Villa Leonor. We also played a benefit concert (after the floods) at the golf course. Please keep us in mind for events that could use some fun live music. Hope to make some music for your clients soon!
