The daily schedule allows plenty of free time for trips to the beach and adventure excursions, or lazy hours relaxing in the resort’s hot tub and hammocks. Massages and spa treatments are offered on-site. July in Puerto Limon is “green season” 75-85 degrees with light rains. The scenery is at its most breathtaking at this time of year.

Samasati is a private, ecologically sensitive resort situated in the rainforest high over the Caribbean coast. The yoga hall, restaurant and guest rooms are hand-built from beautiful rainforest woods. Lodging is in private bungalows or in guest rooms in a small lodge. Meals are abundant, varied ovo-lacto-vegetarian buffets. The week of yoga, lodging and 3 meals daily are included one low rate. Space is very limited and we expect to sell out.
