Our mission

A new kind of luxury — one that listens, breathes, and heals.

Born from a quiet longing to feel something real again — Oshana is a living sanctuary, built on a quantum foundation, where nature, design, and consciousness converge to awaken the human spirit.

Guests don't come here to relax. They come back to coherence, to resonance, to wholeness.

What it's for

A vessel for the moments worth gathering.

Corporate & Influencer Retreats

Founders' offsites. Brand retreats. Creative residencies.

An entire 44,000 sq ft estate to yourselves, with the privacy of two private beaches and the focus that only true seclusion delivers.

Multi-generational Gatherings

Milestone moments. Family reunions. Celebrations.

Eleven suites is enough for three generations and then some. The big birthdays, the holiday weeks, the moments that deserve a place big enough to hold them.

Private Events & Weddings

Destination weddings. Wellness intensives. Once-in-a-lifetime stays.

A private estate with two private beaches, an in-house team, custom itineraries, and the kind of seclusion you can't book at a hotel.

Our commitment

Sustainability, environment, and community.

Solar Powered

Solar power is exclusively used given the abundance of sunshine.

Ambient Water

A cutting-edge state-of-the-art air-to-water system.

Clay Paint

Oshana is finished using locally sourced sand, clay, and stone.

Home Garden

Community

Humpback whale breaching — Samaná Bay, January through March

Why Samaná

The part of the Caribbean the world is just discovering.

Until a decade ago, the Samaná peninsula was only accessible by helicopter or small plane. A new scenic route now connects it directly to Santo Domingo, and the international airport keeps adding flights.

Hyatt, Four Seasons, and Habitas have all recognized Samaná's potential and are establishing their presence. Humpback whales pass through every January through March. The water is the kind of blue that doesn't photograph.

→ Oshana is the front-row seat.
