Located in the heart of the dry forest of Guanacaste, a 40 minute drive from Daniel Oduber Quiros Airport in Liberia. We are exceptionally private, with only 7 suites on 123 acres of jungles and coastline, we aim to provide the perfect balance between wilderness and comfort.
Kasiiya is one of Costa Rica’s most sustainable lodges. The name means “find your pace” in Swahili, which is indicative of our nature-led experiences and healing program. Kasiiya believes that connection to nature through any of our senses helps us find our pace.
The design of Kasiiya is based on the element of experience and sense of pace, along with a deep respect for the environment. It creates a unique balance by offering a strong experience with nature while at the same time retaining the feel of security, with no boundaries in our architecture where comfort meets jungle. If Kasiiya were moved today, it would leave no trace. It has been built around every tree in order to have no negative impact on the landscape. Its environmental footprint is minimal, too. The property is run on solar power, guests drink treated rainwater out of the tap, and there is no single-use plastic. We have recently won the International Architecture Award, International Hotel & Property Award and have been shortlisted for the Dezeen Award.
We have a conservation plan to lessen the impacts of climate challenges. This includes setting up trap cameras to monitor puma and other animal movements and creating new drainage systems. A turtle conservation project is also underway, to prevent poachers from getting to important nesting sites.
Kasiiya can be as adventurous or relaxing as you wish. There are 3 breathtaking beaches to unwind and relax. We have an onsite nature guide, healer and movement coach that cater to our guests unique wants and needs, along with our talented chef who will invite guests to experience delicious, nutritious locally sourced food. Experiences revolve around getting back to nature — snorkeling among parrotfish, trekking in search of howler monkeys or a fitness program based on the intuitive movement of animals. Food is prepared from 90% organic produce from local farms.
It truly is a unique experience when you stay with us, as we help you find your pace again on what feels like your own private island.
