Who It’s For
For the cosmopolitan couple who love the finer things.
Why You’ll Love It
Forbes calls it “the most glamorous romantic resort in Costa Rica.” And rightly so. Kura is just the place for the couple who wants to escape from it all — an adults-only hotel high in the Uvita rainforest overlooking the famous Whale’s Tail sandbar.
Uvita, Costa Rica
Uvita is distinctly low-profile. This closely guarded secret is famous for Marino Ballena National Park and its iconic Whale’s Tail sandbar, migrating pods of Humpback Whales that visit seasonally, 35km of tropical coastline, and a growing international food scene.
The Hills of Uvita Enter Wildlife Season
From May through November, wildlife becomes more active across the forested hills around Uvita, while humpback whales migrate through the Ballena Marine Park directly below the hotel.
This is Wildlife Season.
At Kura Boutique Hotel, mornings are often spent in the infinity pool overlooking the bay, where — during the season — humpback whales move through the water below. Some guests spot them from the pool. Others simply watch and wait.
Wildlife is never a guarantee, but during these months, sightings become more frequent — often without leaving the hotel.

"So many moments we will cherish forever"
“One of the best trips I have had the pleasure of taking. Everything was flawlessly planned and ALL of the staff members ensured we had an incredible week at Kura. From the moment we were picked up at the airport to the final departure. The hotel accommodations were personable and rememberable. The views were surreal and everything was so peaceful. Every tour and the resort spa services were incredible. So many moments we will cherish forever. The food at the resort was also great and we tried just about everything on the menu! Can’t recommend this place enough.”
