Experience Cuna de Angel

Boutique comfort inspired by nature.

Welcome to Cuna de Angel

Located in the hills above the Costa Ballena, Costa Rica's "Whale Coast" on the southern Pacific, and surrounded by lush rainforest, Cuna de Angel is a cozy, intimate 16-bedroom boutique hotel.

It sits about halfway between the surf community of Dominical to the north and Uvita, to the south, home of the Marino Ballena National Park. Cuna de Angel offers easy access to a host of adventures and activities nearby, including whale watching (what this part of Costa Rica is famous for), kayaking, hiking, and more. It's also possible to visit both Manuel Antonio National Park and Corcovado National Park from this hotel.

An Intimate Environment

Cuna de Angel is a luxurious hotel, perfect for families and couples seeking an upscale experience to go with their jungle and ocean adventures. The rooms come with brightly-colored decor, inspired by the Caribbean, colonial Latin America, and Asia. The rooms sit in front of a gorgeous, infinity pool just steps away.

To Be Surrounded By Nature

Guests in need of some pampering after a day of surfing, hiking, or exploring will find the Angel's Care Center Spa a perfect retreat to escape to. This spa offers a range of beauty and wellness treatments to soothe mind, body, and spirit.

A Gluten-Free Restaurant

Elsewhere in the hotel, the restaurant at Cuna de Angel serves a delicious, gluten-free menu - it's the first gluten-free gourmet restaurant in Costa Rica. Here, you'll find an international menu lovingly prepared with locally-sourced ingredients. Breakfast here is included in the daily rate.

If a stay at this gorgeous little hotel appeals to you, contact our expert travel consultants who will be happy to answer any questions for you and include Cuna del Angel in your Costa Rican Vacations itinerary.

Our agent made our honeymoon stress-free and fun! She was available throughout, even when I felt unwell early in the trip. Her support and great recommendations helped us feel better fast. So grateful for the special touches she added along the way.
