About Us

Kia Ora

In its most simple form, “kia ora,” means “hello.” But these two words have a deeper, more beautiful meaning that signifies much more than a passing greeting. In its literal sense, “ora” refers to a state of “being alive” and when “kia” and “ora” are combined, the “ora” becomes “living.” So when you say “kia ora,” you are wishing the essence of life upon them, which is precisely what we at Casa Kia Ora wish for each of our guests.

A place for your soul to shine

Pura vida…

Casa Kia Ora, founded on love, invites souls to shine. Whether you are enjoying a stay with us for rest and renewal, reunion with family and friends, yoga teacher training, wedding, group event, celebration of life, or one of our retreats, we believe you will find peace and a place created for your soul to shine.

Birthed from our own awakening, we believe our visitors collectively experience inspiration, rejuvenation, and a personal renewal of your own. 

 
 

As we collectively experience worldwide change, we listen to our soul’s call to slow down and re-think our time, space, and energy. We awaken and discover new ways to live…not merely exist but thrive.

 
The soul always knows what to do to heal itself. The challenge is to silence the mind.
— Caroline Myss

Seeking a deeper meaning in life?

Tapping into your soul’s innate knowledge and giving yourself permission to do that which makes your soul shine?

By remembering to live fully present lives, by being where your feet are…in the now, we realize that life is abundant in all ways. 

When we ignite this abundance, we become completely connected to ourselves and in doing so we shine.  Along the way, we give others permission to do the same.
