Sustainable adults-only boutique hotel perched on the hills of Playa Uvita!

The most glamorous romantic resort in Costa Rica, Kura Boutique Hotel is located in Southern Costa Rica, perched on a coastal ridge, overlooking the town of Uvita and the Marino Ballena National Park.

The privileged position provides cool breezes, panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, and deep jungle views to the east.

The Resort

Boutique adults-only hotel high in the Uvita rainforest, Kura is an exclusive destination for couples and Costa Rica’s only contemporary cosmopolitan resort.

The resort offers incredible 180° views of the Pacific horizon, a laidback tropical setting, a salt-water infinity pool, and a tropical minimalistic style. When night falls, the Sky Lounge transforms into a magical hideaway flooded with stars.

Named “one of the most biologically intense regions on earth” by National Geographic, the Uvita area is one of raw, untamed beauty with 35km of tropical coastline famous for the migrating pods of Humpback Whales that visit seasonally.

Waves at Kurà Boutique Hotel

Unlike other areas in Costa Rica central Puntarenas has largely remained off many surfers’ radar. The mountainous scenery and adaptable rock and sand breaks offer something for everyone. The best time to surf is May to November with S-SW swells ranging from 3-12ft.

Take a surf lesson with the professional in-house Surf Instructors and bring your surfing skills to the next level!

My wife and I booked an 8 day surf charter on the Gahaa with a dedicated surf guide Moussa who was worth his weight in gold knowing what breaks would be firing and his knowledge of marine life and Maldivian environment enlightening for my wife and I. From the initial booking and contact Guilia at AWAVE made the whole process seamless communication was excellent. I have traveled extensively and surfed many parts of the world this trip truly exceeded my expectations the crew were incredible taking us to excellent surf and snorkeling locations. The boat itself is a converted fishing Dohni that exudes old world charm is clean and meticulously cared for. The meals prepared for us were nothing short of exceptional excellent variety and plenty of it a mix of western and Maldivian fare. We are definitely coming back and certainly using AWAVE again! Thank you Giulia and Moussa our trusted surf guide who gave us incredible insights into Maldivian culture.

Absolutely Recommended. Giulia and James are top professionals: I will be using Awave for all my future surf trips. I have been surfing for 30 years and travelled the world so I have dealt with a lot of agents. Awave is in the top spot as far as I am concerned. I spent 10 days with them on a boat trip in Maldives’ central atolls: not only their recommendations were spot on but being a boutique agency they tailor the surf experience to the very specific needs. They are surfers (real chargers) and know personally each spot and surf operator they recommend (wtether it is a guest house or a resort or a boat).

Trip of a lifetime. First and foremost I'd like to thank James Colston from Awave Travel, for assisting me in every which way to help book one of the most memorable experiences I've had in my life. He was extremely responsive and answered every single question I had, even the dumb ones haha. As for AYADA, holy dooly, that place is paradise! Absolutely breathtaking, I couldn't believe I was actually walking around such a beautiful island! Big love to the staff at Magu Restaurant, seeing as how I ate there pretty much everyday, they were amazing! Very switched on and quick off the mark to help with anything that was needed. A special mention to Dhaboa and the captain who took me out surfing! I cannot speak highly enough about their friendly, helpful and straight up on point expertise. With Dhaboa picking the spots to surf and tips on where to sit to catch the best waves on the day, to the wonderful captain himself, filming and sending me videos of the waves I caught.
Absolute legends! Made my surf trip! Best holiday I've ever been on to this date.

Reliable travel agency to book a surf trip - Both Giulia and James were very reactive and adivsed on the best options. In our case we made a boat trip in Maldives. It is the second time we use Awave Travel to do a surftrip to Maldives and we have had a very good experience in both cases. They are a reliable and trustworthy travel agency, I highly recommend them.
