Details

OYA New Earth is a private jungle sanctuary in the Dominican Republic, designed for deep rest, reconnection, and transformation. This retreat offers a unique opportunity to step away from the pace of everyday life and immerse yourself in nature, simplicity, and intentional living. Surrounded by lush greenery, fresh air, and natural water sources, the environment naturally supports grounding, clarity, and nervous system regulation. The experience blends guided practices such as yoga, meditation, and breathwork with unstructured time to rest, explore, and reconnect with yourself. Whether practicing in the open-air shala, swimming in the river, or simply enjoying the stillness of the land, each moment invites you to slow down and tune in. This retreat is ideal for those seeking a meaningful reset — physically, mentally, and emotionally — while being held in a peaceful and inspiring natural setting.

Location

Jamao al Norte, Dominican Republic

Jamao al Norte is a lush, mountainous town in the northern Dominican Republic, known for its vibrant greenery, winding rivers, and relaxed rural charm. Tucked between forested hills not far from the Atlantic coast, it offers a cooler, more tranquil atmosphere than the nearby beach towns, with a strong connection to nature and local culture. The area is popular for eco-tourism, featuring river tubing, waterfall hikes, and scenic countryside views, while small farms and cacao groves reflect its agricultural roots. With its blend of adventure and serenity, Jamao al Norte is an appealing destination for those seeking both outdoor exploration and a slower pace of life.

Testimonials

Jungle Bliss: A Peaceful Escape at Oya This place is a total paradise! The staff made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. They were friendly and helpful, ensuring we had everything we needed. Our room was great – comfy beds and all the modern stuff you could want, but with a cool jungle vibe. Plus, falling asleep to the sounds of the jungle? Amazing. The food was out of this world. Seriously, we ate like kings. Fresh, tasty, and delicious. Vegan options to choose from. They have a menu of services to choose from. The massage with Natalia was wonderful. We went on hikes, explored waterfalls, and got to hang out with some locals.
