Kinkara is tucked away in the most incredible corners, committed to protecting, preserving and regenerating the communities and ecosystems that surround us. As sustainable hospitality and nature regeneration pioneers, our mission is to break new ground in eco-luxe travel, and enrich the lives of curious travelers, everywhere.

Kinkara is an experiential luxury mountain retreat located in the foothills of Mt. Chirripó, Costa Rica’s tallest peak. It’s perfect for one-of-a-kind activities, personal relaxation, and collective group experiences. Kinkara features 31 luxury Lotus Belle tents offering guests the opportunity to sleep closer to nature than in a traditional hotel. Unique property amenities include a waterfall and numerous natural swimming holes for complimentary use; a fire pit; an open-air movement pavilion suitable for yoga; hiking, horseback riding, and mountain biking trails; a temazcal-inspired sweat lodge and a food forest. During their stays, guests may revel in any number of on-site immersive activities or off-site nature adventures, ranging from spa treatments and permaculture tours to beach day trips and waterfall visits. When it comes to refueling, meals at Kinkara center on ingredients sourced predominantly from the retreat’s Mandala Garden and from local farmers, combined to create a truly epicurean and nourishing earth-to-plate cuisine.

Located in Costa Rica’s Southern Zone at San Isidro de El General– the most biodiverse region of the country – Kinkara is immersed in nature. On-site, guests can splash around in Kinkara Creek, swim at the waterfall, mountain bike through our Food Forest, experience a temazcal-inspired sweat ceremony, horseback ride up to a viewpoint, and much more. Beyond the property, nearby attractions include Nauyaca Waterfalls, Dominical Beach, Mount Chirripó, Marino Ballena National Park and its iconic Whale’s Tail, Los Cusingos Bird Sanctuary, zip-lining, and the Cloudbridge Reserve. Tours can be organized from Kinkara.
