Ki-Ra Holistic Living LA ROMANA, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
Set along the untamed southern coast of the Dominican Republic, Ki-Ra is a tranquil oceanfront property built around a holistic ethos. Just minutes from the local fishing village of Boca de Chavón, this tropical sanctuary offers guests the chance to slow down and immerse themselves in nature, whether staying as independent travellers or participating in one of Ki-Ra’s curated retreats. Originally a family home, Ki-Ra has evolved
into a 25-acre conscious, comfortable, natural haven. Guests can choose from a variety of inviting accommodations, including cabins nestled among the trees, palapa-style rooms with ocean views or ‘outdoor living’ suites just a few feet away from the turquoise Caribbean Sea. The kitchen at Ki-Ra is a highlight. Meals are
predominantly plant-based, guided by Ayurvedic principles and a flexible, inclusive philosophy. There are no strict rules — just thoughtful food that draws inspiration from global cuisine while using seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. Whether it’s a vibrant Indian dhal, a Mediterranean-inspired salad or a Dominican sancocho prepared with
ayurvedic insight, every dish is crafted with love, health and balance in mind. Wellbeing at Ki-Ra is personalised and entirely
optional. Guests are encouraged to choose their own level of immersion, whether that means doing very little, lounging in a hammock and enjoying the view, indulging in a massage or yoga class or trying a gentle ayurvedic therapy. A full menu of ayurvedic therapies and activities is available, from meditation to mud cleanses, hip baths or ayurvedic cooking classes. Nearby Altos de Chavón — an artist village with
an amphitheatre, art exhibitions and a stunning view of the river — can be reached by boat. Taino caves with pictographs and stalactites are 30 minutes away, while a national park — home to rhinoceros iguanas — lies just 20 minutes from the property. Ki-Ra itself is a haven for local and ayurvedic medicinal plants and an abundance of wildlife. Guests might spot turtles or dolphins when swimming in the early morning, while hummingbirds are daily visitors to the aloe plants outside the bedrooms.
