Kura Design Villas

Add to wishlist Contact us

A collection of beautifully designed luxury suites and villas incorporating cutting edge modern design and the best materials in a primitive and wild natural setting.

There are astonishing views across pristine rainforest down to the coast. A twenty-minute transfer will see you on wild and rugged dark sand Pacific beaches that are pounded by rollers and completely undeveloped.

There is a 19-metre saltwater infinity pool, a spa, the sky lounge on the roof and a restaurant that specialises in creative Costa Rican fusion cuisine. Whale watching, diving, snorkelling and hikes into National Parks can all be arranged. This is one of Costa Rica’s best boutique hotels.

Why we like Kura Design Villas

Situated on top of a mountain, the design of the hotel takes advantage of the beautiful panoramic views the area has to offer.

Ideally suited for

  • Romantic/Honeymoon

We found it extremely helpful to visit the Steppes office and have a face to face discussion with James about what our requirements were for our adventures in Costa Rica. He really listened and made sure that the trip was tailored to our needs.

Great work from John. The additions of zip-lining and surfing lessons were exciting experiences that we would not have considered without his expert guidance.
