KoSa is a coastal retreat designed for connection with nature, with others, and with yourself. It’s a space where every sunrise and sea breeze invites you to be still. Where the food is fresh and the pace is gentle. Where the ocean is not just a view it’s the whole point.

A day at KoSa
From first light to the last star
6:30 First light
Yoga by the sea while the fishing boats head out, then a slow walk along the waterline. Paddleboarding is coming soon.
Wellness at KoSa
7:00 Breakfast, slowly
Served from seven until ten, every day. Something fresh, something warm, and a table that looks at the sea.
See the menus
10:00 Into the Atlantic
Swim, then walk the shore to Ampenyi and meet the fishermen bringing in the catch. Nobody will ask you to be anywhere.
Things to do
14:00 The quiet hours
A Thai massage on the sand, under the palms or in your room. Then a herbal tea from the KoSa Tea Bar, and nowhere to be.
Spa and treatments
17:30 Golden hour
Ride the beach on horseback while the light turns to honey, or watch it all from a hammock. Both count.
Signature experiences
19:30 Dinner by the fire
Open-fire grouper, herbs from the garden, the last of the sunset on the water. Some nights the drums find their way down to the sand.
Dining at KoSa
22:00 Under the stars
The waves get louder after dark and the sky fills with stars. Or one more drink at Kooki before ten.

Well-being, the KoSa way
We built KoSa on a simple belief: well-being should be beautiful, natural, and within reach.
Wellness at KoSa
Breakfast, lunch & dinner · 7 am to 9 pm, every day
Food the way the coast intended
At KoSa, the kitchen is part of the wellness.
Dining at KoSaAkwaba · Welcome home
Some places you visit KoSa, you come home to
Watch a KoSa welcome unfold: drums on the sand, white cloth in the breeze, a naming ceremony by the ocean. This is what arriving feels like.
The ocean doesn't rush. Neither should you.

Beyond the beach
Every stay gives something back
KoSa belongs to Ampenyi, not just to the shoreline. When you stay with us, you help keep a team of nearly 60 people in work, and you help us keep showing up for the children, the school and the families around us.
A team of nearly 60
From the kitchen and the garden to the front desk and the spa, KoSa employs nearly 60 people. Every stay keeps that team in work.
The orphanages near us
We support the orphanages in our area. Guests who would like to meet the children can ask us about joining a visit.
The school in Ampenyi
We stand with the school in Ampenyi, from the festival we hosted for its pupils onward.
The village itself
We repaired the road to Ampenyi and built public toilets for the village. The work carries on, and your stay is part of it.
A stay at KoSa is never only yours. It carries on in the village long after you have gone home.
