Kura Design Villas 

Resting delicately on a remote coastal ridge of the Osa Peninsula, also known as the ‘Whale Coast’, Kura Design Villas have been recognised as Costa Rica’s best honeymoon luxury resort.

And when you get there, you’ll understand why. For a start there are only six villas on the property, so you’ll have as much privacy as you like. The sleek, modern architecture and open plan designs create a wonderfully cosmopolitan atmosphere, however the floor to ceiling windows ensure you’re never too far from the spectacular views. Step onto the embracing balconies and you can expect to see toucans, parrots, cusingas and hummingbirds up close. Or relax in an oversized hammock built for two, close your eyes and drift off.

When you venture out of your luxurious enclave you can learn to surf, snorkel or dive at the infamous Caño Island, or walk along the pristine, untouched Southern Pacific beaches. Visit one of the seven national parks nearby, or enjoy a horseback ride to the spectacular Nauyaca Waterfalls.

Back home after a day’s exploring you can enjoy some pampering at the open air Spa Sha, or have a drink at the Diablitos Bar & Lounge before dining under the stars.

If there’s a more luxurious outpost for adventurous couples anywhere, we’d love to hear about it.
