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!

Professional and Top Notch! From the moment we started planning our trip AWAVE was responsive and professional. We had a lot of back and forth picking the perfect location and resort and James and Giulia were patient and helpful. The resort we stayed at, AYADA in the Maldives, was beautiful and relaxing- great for families and couples! It was perfect for us- we have 1 surfer in the family, he was able to enjoy the waves and we also were able to enjoy the reef and snorkel as a family. Our kids loved the kids club and the private pool on the beach villas was amazing. The alcohol is expensive if you don’t do full board but that is to be expected. Wonderful vacation and amazing travel agency! Definitely recommend!!

I've used Awave twice ... so far. This is the second time I've used Awave for a trip to the maldives. Stayed in 2 different resorts this time. They've always been incredibly prompt at replying and handled everything for us, making sure the 2 Resorts were in touch to get us transfered half way through our trip. At one of the resorts I even bumped into Giulia and Delia who were out there surfing at the time. There's no doubt in my mind that I'll use awave again if I'm booking a surf trip

Indonesia Surf Trip/ Java/Bali/Sumba - James Colston was my representative from AWAVE - I’m an older solo surfer and James was attentive, respectful, extremely responsive from the initial planning stages all the way through the booking. And he was so patient with all my crazy questions along the way. I couldn’t have been more pleased with James’s level of service. Thank you James

Giulia was an amazing person to book with. I was overwhelmed with choices initially, but AWAVE knew their stuff and helped me with my options and even suggested delaying my trip so I could go to a certain hotel which ended up being the best decision I made all year.

Giulia and James were always on line to answer any question or to give an advice. The Ayada resort is perfect both for families or for couples. We did not have waves as the season goes from April to September, but there are plenty options to have fun and good times. Highly recommended both Awave and Ayada.

The AWAVE team are knowledgable and helpful. Giulia is a very helpful and patient person to deal with, and do not worry, you can trust her. I had to delay my trip to Morocco due to unforeseen circumstances and Giulia was very understanding. I have just returned from having a fantastic week at Amouage in Taghazout. Thanks AWAVE!
