YOUR BOUTIQUE JUNGLE HOTEL IN COSTA RICA

Wake up to birdsong in a handcrafted bamboo cabin, steps from private waterfalls in the Costa Rican jungle. Qasa is a boutique LGBTQ+ hotel and retreat center in Dominical — where nature, wellness, and conscious community come together.

Our hotel welcomes all guests who value authentic connection, natural beauty, and a slower pace. Whether you’re here for a weekend escape, a digital nomad stint, or a week of deep rest — this is your place.

Stay with Us at Qasa

Nestled on 300 acres of pristine jungle along Costa Rica’s southern Pacific coast, Qasa is a one-of-a-kind boutique hotel built almost entirely from locally sourced bamboo. Our cabins are handcrafted, our community is intentional, and our surroundings are breathtaking.

During your stay, you can shape your own rhythm — explore private jungle trails and waterfalls, join morning yoga and breathwork classes (included), book a massage or bodywork session, take excursions to nearby beaches and Nauyaca Falls, or simply rest in your cabin surrounded by forest canopy.

While some of our retreats and events are tailored for specific groups within the LGBTQIA+ community, our hotel stays are open to all guests who respect our community agreements.

Accommodations share a stunning communal bamboo bathhouse with hot showers and thoughtfully designed amenities – simple, beautiful, and full of heart.

Whether you’re here to recharge or to reawaken, we invite you to find your perfect rhythm – balancing rest and movement, stillness and connection. Unplug, reconnect, and let nature do its magic. Digital Nomads, don’t worry – we have high-speed fiber-optic internet (100MBPS) if needed.

During your stay, you can shape your own adventure.

Options include:

Exploring jungle trails, rivers, and waterfalls right on the property - including clothing-optional swimming spots

Joining weekday morning classes like yoga, meditation, breathwork, and movement (included with your stay)

Booking healing sessions with local practitioners (bodywork, massage, vocal activation, and more - inquire on-site)

Embarking on local excursions to waterfalls, the farmers market, nearby beaches, and more

Sharing nourishing, house-made meals in community, crafted by our in-house chef

Discrimination of any kind is not tolerated. To support a safe, expansive, and respectful space, we ask all guests to align with our community agreements, rooted in consent, care, and celebration.

What’s included:

Your stay includes your private or shared bamboo cabin, access to all communal facilities (yoga shala, bathhouse, sauna, cold plunge, pool), and weekday morning embodiment classes (yoga, meditation, breathwork, movement).

Please note: Meals are not included in the base rate. Our in-house chef prepares fresh, locally sourced meals daily — you can add a meal plan during checkout ($57 USD / day for 3 meals).
