Culinary

The cuisine at the Kura Boutique Hotel can be ideally described in three words: simple, upscale, and sustainable. Each dish is a culinary highlight created from pure, organic, and regionally sourced ingredients. From fruits and vegetables from the hotel's own garden to fish, seafood, and meat from local farmers, every single ingredient is carefully selected and uniquely fresh. The dedicated kitchen team offers a colorful, diverse, and distinctive menu that is not only full of flavors and tastes but also takes special dietary preferences such as vegetarian and vegan, gluten-free, or allergies into consideration. In addition to the secret house recipes of the chef, dishes not on the hotel menu can be prepared upon request.

Location

The Kura Boutique Hotel is located in southern Costa Rica on a wooded hill near the coast overlooking the town of Uvita and the Marino Ballena National Park. The region is famous for its high biodiversity of flora and fauna both on land and in water, a sandbank shaped like a whale's fin around which the annual migration of humpback whales occurs, and a steadily growing international gastronomy scene. San José International Airport is about a four-hour drive from the hotel.
