Unwind, recharge and experience a world away...
Founded in a deep respect for the surrounding environment, Kasiiya offers guests the opportunity to rediscover the true value of time, absorb breath-taking vistas overlooking two untouched beaches and experience delicious and nutritious food prepared by our talented chef.
This March the world has changed for us all, we decided in two days to change our cancellation policy and reimburse all of our clients that wished to do so. This offer was very popular as can be seen on our testimonials. As the world is still precarious, we have decided to keep this policy for all bookings with travel dates up to June 2021. It will help find your pace in nature amid 123 acres of jungle and beaches with our seven beautiful air-conditioned tented suites, designed by world-renowned architects AW2, assuring full privacy to our guests.
From your arrival at the airport, you will be assigned your own personal driver, car and guide for the duration of your stay and will be taken care of by our staff that lives on site as part of our enhanced ‘health, safety and environment protocol’ to ensure you have the most comfortable stay.
"This most beautiful, remote, peaceful place offers opportunity for adventure as well as quiet time - the perfect combination of mountain and sea."
Jenny and Bruce, January 2020
"The hotel contacted us on its own initiative to let us know about the cancellation. Policy had been changed to reflect the impending crisis. They offered us free cancelation and full refund."
Thomas, May 2020
"Hidden gem. Luxury Robison Crusoe lodge. Away from the big hotels ... wonderful design of the common places in particular the restaurant up the hill offering amazing sunsets!!!"

"Barefoot luxury and dream come through - this place is magic ... The tents in the jungle, the snorkeling, the healing, the sunset, the food, the beach, the people who work there - it's WOW!"
Janet T, January 2020
“Even before talk of travel bans ... Kasiiya was communicating to us about options to delay or cancel – no games or loss of deposit, just honest and open dialog. When it became clear traveling to Costa Rica was not an option, our deposit was wired directly back to us.”
Max Liszt, May 2020
"This ecologically rich retreat does provide frequent moments to pause, breathe, and discover. Without deadlines and distractions, our restless minds slowed to resonate with the unhurried pace of the forest and beach."

"We extended our stay by 2 days and we have already booked a return trip. I really do not think we have stayed at a more secluded, safe, and just awesome place on this earth!"
GregV, March 2019
"The bay was beautiful and excellent for swimming, snorkeling and all water activities. The food was consistently the best we have had at any hotel, and the staff are all incredibly nice and welcoming and knowledgeable."

You will visit volcanoes, rainforests, jungles by the river and much more. If you would like to have a bespoke experience, please contact us.
As of September 10 2020 there have been a total of just 52,549 confirmed cases of COVID 19 across the whole of Costa Rica with 567 people dying as a result. This equates to a ratio of 0.002% of the population and compares favourably with other parts of Central and South America (Panama - 0.05%; Guatemala - 0.02%; Peru - 0.09%). Experts believe this is a result of increased investments in the Costa Rican health system over the last 50 years to create a world-class universal health system. Another reason for the low rates is the adoption of 1,000 small but well-run clinics called EBAIS to treat infected patients, keeping the virus out of the main hospitals and allowing for improved traceability and containment of the spread. Finally, the Costa Rican government was quick to give the ‘stay at home’ message in early March when there were a handful of confirmed cases. Although not mandatory, the population was quick to adopt and adhere to the advice.
At Kasiiya, we are pleased to confirm that to date every member of our staff and wider community remains healthy and completely unaffected by the virus.
Conscious of the impending border closures we bid farewell to the last of our guests on the 15th of March. On the same day we took the decision to furlough 70% of our staff, enabling them to return home to their loved ones.
All bookings were cancelled and we immediately returned 100% of all deposits paid for future stays at Kasiiya.
After addressing the concerns of our guests and staff, we turned our attention to our local community and contacted the village of Nuevo Colon, our closest neighbour, to ensure they were prepared and had sufficient medical supplies, food and shelter. After collaboration with the village leaders, we supported the village in their aspirations to use the downtime to paint and bring new life to the infrastructure of the village. This was completed under strict social distancing with each family donating their time to help with the project.
At Kasiiya we have been using the quarantine and post quarantine period to complete various maintenance and sustainability projects, upgrading several of our tented suites and facilities. We have continued our conservation work with our NGO partners, installing night cameras and monitoring equipment to better understand the wide range of wildlife that surrounds us here and further developing our conservation project for the turtles that nest on our beaches.
The borders of Costa Rica are set to open soon, and while becoming better acquainted with the new normality of international travel, Kasiiya is excited to start welcoming guests as of December 15, 2020.
As our furloughed staff say when we check in on them, they are fine they ‘just want to get back to Kasiiya!'
We understand the importance of health for you and your family. At Kasiiya, we have made significant operational changes to address this:
