Hotel Kunken Lodge

About us

Where does our name come from?

When one first hears the name Kunken, it often evokes thoughts of indigenous cultures and untamed nature. In the first Guaymí dictionary compiled by missionary Ephraim S. Alphonse, Kunken is translated from the Ngäbere language as “wild.” The word embodies a connection to wilderness, the unknown, and those who journey from afar—the outsiders, the visitors.

This dual meaning lies at the heart of Kunken Hotel: an invitation for our guests to immerse themselves in the raw beauty of nature and to experience the wild as both explorers and stewards.

Here, the ocean greets you just moments from your room, with the sound of waves and the scent of saltwater never more than a few steps away.

Designed to breathe with the surroundings, our rooms feature ample windows and doors that invite in fresh ocean breezes. Each space strikes the perfect balance between refined luxury and a deep connection to nature—always open to the vastness of the sea and embraced by the richness of the natural world around you.
