Kura Boutique Hotel
A young Costa Rican couple, Martin Wells and Alejandra Umana, were looking for a new challenge.
As an Architect and Biologist, respectively, Martin and Ale wanted to do something that had never been done before in Costa Rica. They wanted to introduce a modern, dynamic architectural concept in hospitality that would push the boundaries of luxury in Costa Rica.
And they wanted to do it in an extreme tropical setting — in beautiful Uvita — away from the city and off the beaten path in Southern Costa Rica where Ale’s biology expertise would blend seamlessly with Martin’s architectural vision.
Ala and Martin’s first concept was to build an upscale hostel, the kind of youthful, dynamic place with skateboards, bikes and daredevil trails. But when they were brought to the top of a mountain in Uvita, they instantly fell in love with the spectacular view and the feeling of exclusive privacy that it conjured. .
The plan changed. It was the perfect sunset, the perfect day, the perfect timing: “We have to do something amazing here”.
And so they did. The result is Ale and Martin’s stunning expression of tropical minimalist design. From the clean lines, lush native gardens, the extraordinary views — and all the smiles and treasured details that bring Kurà to life — you’ll feel Ale and Martin’s fearless and forward-thinking spirit here.
Today, Kurà is Costa Rica’s prized example of contemporary design meets ultimate, sustainable luxury. As an adults-only resort with 8 private suites, Kurà is a destination for couples with great, big dreams, an appreciation for privacy and an appetite for the best things in life.
