The Sueño Azul Resort and Omega Institute offer a unique blend of exotic natural abundance combined with Costa Rican traditions and contemporary holistic education. Situated in one of the richest flora and fauna areas in the world, this spiritual sanctuary connects 12 rivers and bears countless streams in a single square mile.
Located in the northwest part of the country outside the small village of Horquetas (Spanish for "join"), Sueño Azul (pronounced swaynyo asool, Spanish for "daydream") is located in a 2,000-acre private nature reserve, at the convergence of the Sardinal and Puerto Viejo Rivers. With Omega's renowned workshops in wellness, yoga, creativity, and more, offered by expert and trusted faculty, your visit is a truly unique experience—what they call a learning vacation.
Choose from 11 weeks (Jan 28th- April 22nd, 2006) of learning vacations with a wide selection of workshops. Explore the area on organized excursions. Generous meal times and optional evening activities also take place, and we provide plenty of time for relaxing by the pool, meeting other guests, or taking peaceful walks around the grounds.
