Surrounded by 1,000 hectares of pristine Tuscan countryside, Oasyhotel is set to reopen its doors on the 1st of April 2026 for its fifth season. Sitting among the unspoiled landscapes of the Oasi Dynamo Nature Reserve is a one-of-a-kind retreat where guests are invited to step into a world of quiet luxury and be at one with nature.
There are 17 contemporary forest lodges with direct access to the world’s first WWF-affiliated wilderness reserve in Italy’s scenic Tuscan Apennines. Oasyhotel provides a unique retreat, perfect for nature lovers, with an emphasis on conservation, biodiversity, and cultural programming. This expansive wild playground is the perfect setting for an exciting programme of nature-led experiences and immersive activities. Guests are welcome to take advantage of the world-class facilities, including a yoga deck, wildlife observatory, and private lake with a floating swimming pool, to truly connect with the surrounding land and unwind in comfort and style.

Oasyhotel’s sustainable philosophy extends to the two on-site dining concepts, Le Felci and Casa Luigi, where seasonal Tuscan cuisine is served using fresh ingredients sourced from the on-site farm and organic vegetable gardens.
Following Oasyhotel’s grand reopening, the 25th of April 2026 will see the third season of the Oasy Contemporary Art (OCA) project. Established three years ago as a landscape-based initiative, this outdoor sculpture and art park strives to prove that conservation and culture can go hand in hand to create a carefully crafted journey of art that unfolds like a symphony with each work embedded in its natural setting. The project consists of site-specific works that ensure the protected environment is not altered and local wildlife is safeguarded including deer, wolves, and golden eagles. The OCA project can be accessed exclusively by intimate guided groups and can only be reached by foot or bicycle as there are no wide paved walkways, no intrusive signage, and no car access. Visitors will be welcomed to admire the project that will transform the landscape itself into a work of art and encourage a dialogue about our relationship with nature. In addition to the outdoor installations, there is a gallery space, housed in a specially restored former cattle barn, for rotating, temporary exhibits to showcase the talents of emerging and established artists in a unique context.
This year’s installation will incorporate new commissions by Stefano Boeri, Arne Quinze and Fuse* into the existing trail works of seven other talented artists. The latest addition of Stefano Boeri is a sculptural white marble bench where visitors can pause and reflect on the beauty of the surrounding forest canopy. Arne Quinze draws inspiration from his own wildflower garden and will present both indoor and outdoor works to the 2026 OCA. The Belgian artist offers painted floral installations to represent the fragility and excess of natural ecosystems in addition to five clay sculptures to enhance the outdoor exhibition. The addition of artistic collective Fuse* will bring the total number of permanent installations across the reserve to ten with an outdoor sculpture inspired by space and the infinite black hole.
