This posh boutique hotel offers a blend of upscale modern design, traditional cultural influences, and a surprising wealth of sustainability initiatives. Perhaps the best example of the marriage of eco and chic at Kura is the pool. It’s a four-way infinity edge design tiled in jade green that’s so stunning it’s worth buying a new bathing suit for. And the whole thing is kept clean using a non-salty salt process instead of chlorine. Only three trees were cut down during construction of Kura and 30 solar panels keep the resort mostly off the grid.
Leading Costa Rica’s Design Movement

A glass-topped niche inset into the floor in every entryway has a vibrant photo of local fauna set into it. Think you know what a luxury hotel in Costa Rica looks like?

The resort is a member of the Cayuga collection of sustainable lodges and hotels. This accolade represents the environmental awareness that has gone into the design, build and running of Kura Design Villas. Kura, Costa Rica is a sustainable, adults-only boutique hotel. We recommend staying at least 4-5 nights with us for the best rates and to experience the best of Kura. All six of the Kura Boutique Hotel reflect the sophisticated vision of an architect and biologist.
Undoubtedly one of the top romantic destinations in Costa Rica, the Kura Boutique Hotel villas are isolated in an area biologically famous for its lush vegetation, pristine beaches, and abundant wildlife. Additionally, visitors are only a boat ride away from Corcovado National Park or Caño Island Biological Preserve. Kura overlooks the Southern Pacific coastline of Costa Rica. Kura is not on the beach but perched remotely on the coastal ridge sloping five kilometers above the shoreline, just a 15 minute drive away from the main road. This position provides cool breezes, panoramic views of the ocean and jungle view to the east, making this a great isolated place to go for an unforgettable, non traditional honeymoon. Daily scheduled shuttles up or down the ridge are included.
Each of the eight stylish one-bedroom villas is glass-fronted and surrounded by lush vegetation, with views of the ocean on the horizon. Neutral interiors are decked out in slate, with bamboo ceilings, teak shutters and local-wood furnishings. Picture yourself in a private exclusive villa, surrounded by nothing but lush rainforest where the only sounds you hear are those of the local wildlife. There are two Master Suite Villas both at over 1,000 square feet.
Our visit to Kurá coincided with our anniversary, but it rained a lot during our visit. So instead of basking by the pool with piña coladas, we spent one luxurious evening and one glorious afternoon in the hotel spa. Umana, a biologist, is the mastermind behind Kurá Design Villas’ sustainability initiatives. In the rooms, there are biodegradable soaps, LED lighting powered by photo voltaic solar panels (which also heat the water), and recycling bins. The resort’s six rooms are all expansive– much bigger than my first apartment. They’re also equally gorgeous, with natural wood headboards, comfy king-sized beds, overstuffed couches, massive bathrooms, and an expansive private balcony that overlooks the ocean.
