The Space
Kinamira is a cozy retreat located just 1.8 miles from the beaches of Playa Grande, where Mediterranean charm blends seamlessly with tropical beauty. This tranquil haven is ideal for reconnecting, relaxing, and inspiring creativity. Whether you are planning a romantic escape, a family holiday, or a solo getaway, the space adapts to your pace.
Guests of all ages are welcome to enjoy watercolor painting in the art studio or simply relax in the serene natural surroundings.
At Kinamira, every detail is carefully designed to promote relaxation, connection, and sometimes new friendships. The large shared pool, shaded by a palm roof, creates a welcoming environment where travelers often gather between naps on sun loungers or casual drinks from the self-serve mini bar.
You can rent one of three private cottages, each featuring its own plunge pool and living area. This particular cottage is the most secluded from the others, offering both intimacy and a close connection to nature. Constructed with natural, high-quality materials and topped with a hand-woven palm roof, each cottage provides a refreshing and peaceful retreat. During the rainy season, the gentle sound of the nearby river adds to the soothing ambiance.

A wonderful experience, because of the location of the accommodation, because of how clean and beautiful the apartment is, and because of the warmth of the people who work on its maintenance. I highly recommend trying the experience.

A very very high standard of amenities, facilities and atmosphere. The place is thoughtfully planned. The building, pool, living area and kitchen are striking. All facilities and amenities needed are there. Decoration is very thoughtful and tasteful. It breathes an atmosphere of luxury without the over the top nonsense. By nature I am a restless person but even I enjoyed hanging around here and looking at the trogons pass by, the raccoon family run around and just enjoying the house in all its glory. The bar was raised by Sophie as this place is immaculate. Distance to beaches is within ten minutes (surf haven playa grande) or a little further for a more American feeling (playa brasilito), a Local feeling (playa Puerto Viejo) or wild feeling (baia Piratas).

What a fantastic place, we absolutely loved it! We stayed here at the end of our three-week trip around Costa Rica, and it was the perfect place to slow down and enjoy a few peaceful days. The house was incredibly comfortable and had everything we needed, as well as a beautiful, stylish interior and an amazing setting surrounded by lush green vegetation, with monkeys in the trees right outside. The beach was close by, and there was a great choice of restaurants in the area. Sophie’s guidebook was incredibly useful, we actually used it every single day! Thank you so much, Sophie, for putting so much thought into everything and making the house such a wonderful place for your guests. We would happily come back!

We spent three days as a family. The property is beautiful, and the hosts are very attentive. My children (7 and 12) really enjoyed the place and the nearby beaches (Grande, Puerto Viejo, Real). We'll be back :)

Sophie’s place was absolutely perfect for our family of three. My kids loved being able to watch wildlife from the back porch, we saw a family of howler monkeys and so many beautiful birds. The shared pool space was a huge bonus and a nice way to meet other families. The suite had everything you could want for your stay. The kitchen was well equipped, there were lots of books and games, and the beds were very comfortable. It was hard for us to say goodbye to this beautiful place and peaceful surroundings. We’ll dream of returning.
