​​​​🌿 About Chosa Royale

A nature‑held gathering space within the Tropical Urban Park

Chosa Royale sits on four acres of shaded gardens and mature trees inside the world’s first recognized Tropical Urban Park. The property stretches across a quiet strip of jungle‑land between two neighborhoods of Puerto Jiménez, creating a natural corridor used by wildlife throughout the day and night. Guests often notice birds moving through the canopy, butterflies and dragonflies near the ponds, and—at times—monkeys, coatis, or other species passing through the grounds as part of their regular routes.

Although surrounded by forest, Chosa Royale is only a short walk from the center of Puerto Jiménez and the town’s waterfront promenade. It is a rare place where deep nature and daily life coexist in the same rhythm.

​

🌱 A Camouflaged Retreat in the Heart of Town

The property is a quiet collection of villas, cabinas, suites, and rooms connected by raised walkways, bridges, gardens, and open‑air lounges. These pathways allow close‑up wildlife viewing at all hours and create a sense of immersion without isolation.

Chosa Royale is designed for small, intentional gatherings — retreats, workshops, family circles, and celebrations that benefit from privacy, space, and a calm, nature‑based setting. The venue offers multiple lounges, shaded meeting areas, and flexible indoor‑outdoor spaces shaped by the surrounding forest.
 

 

​​​​​​🌴 Wildlife at Your Doorstep

The grounds are part of a major diurnal and nocturnal wildlife corridor. Sightings may include:

•     Four species of monkeys
•     Kinkajous, coatis, raccoons, and anteaters
•     Sloths, armadillos, and ocelots
•     Scarlet macaws, toucans, tanagers, raptors, and hummingbirds
•     Crocodiles, iguanas, lizards, and other reptiles
•     Countless insects, butterflies, and dragonflies

Many visitors report seeing more wildlife here than in other parts of Costa Rica — sometimes even more than in nearby national parks.

Chosa Royale is also a registered eBird hotspot, making it a favorite location for birders and nature photographers.

​

🌺 A Venue with Purpose

Chosa Royale follows the Osa Nova 80/20 rhythm:

•     80% of the year is dedicated to the daily life of the Tropical Urban Park and its Members.
•     Up to 20% of the year is reserved for private gatherings held with care and intention.

This rhythm ensures that every event respects the land, the wildlife, and the quiet character of the park.

Events at Chosa Royale are intimate, nature‑aligned, and paced to match the environment. The venue is not designed for high‑volume tourism or large commercial productions. Instead, it supports gatherings that value presence, connection, and ecological respect.

​

🌳 Close to Everything, Surrounded by Nature

Chosa Royale is a short walk from:

•     Puerto Jiménez Airport
•     The National Park office
•     Car rental agencies
•     Grocery stores, cafés, and local shops
•     The waterfront promenade and beach
•     Kayak, boat, and wildlife tour operators

World‑class beaches, surf breaks, and the entrance to Corcovado National Park are only a short drive away.

​

🌼 Rooted in Community and Stewardship

Chosa Royale holds tourism and hospitality licenses through the ICT, but its purpose is different from a traditional hotel or event center. It exists as part of a larger ecological and community system — a place where people gather with intention, where nature leads, and where the rhythm of the forest shapes the rhythm of the day.

We welcome conversations about hosting your gathering within this unique tropical‑urban‑forest setting.

Pura Vida
