About The Salty Jungle Family

In 2023, Thomas and Lubna made a life-changing decision: to leave the bustling streets of The Hague, Netherlands, and start a new life on the beautiful Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica. Lubna was recovering from burnout, while Thomas had sold his successful surf shop after a business split. Together with their son, Naim, and later their second child, Noé, they embarked on a journey to build their dream in the jungle.

Their adventure gave birth to The Salty Jungle Family, a hospitality project that blends the beauty of the Golfo Dulce and the wild Osa jungle. In just one year, they’ve launched three key ventures: Don Jimenez Guesthouse, Osa Jungla Ecolodge, and a French Bakery, with even more exciting plans in the works.

​

Our Mission

At The Salty Jungle Family, we want to give guests a chance to truly experience the Osa Peninsula—a place of remarkable biodiversity, peaceful beaches, and untamed nature. Whether you're here to explore Corcovado National Park, relax on the beach, or connect with the jungle, we offer a variety of accommodations for all types of travelers.

  • Don Jimenez Guesthouse in Puerto Jiménez caters to those looking for comfort and convenience in the heart of town.

  • Osa Jungla Ecolodge offers an immersive nature experience, ideal for eco-conscious travelers and retreat groups.

  • Our French Bakery brings a taste of home to the Osa, serving delicious pastries and fresh bread to locals and visitors.
