Staying with us.

mecca is an adult-only, destination hotel located in the scenic beach town of Playa Negra, Puerto Viejo Costa Rica.

At mecca, we specialize in providing curated vacation experiences for discerning guests, especially solo travelers and couples. 

About

mecca

Owner, Kim Hassan, a former corporate attorney left the bustling lifestyle of Washington, DC to gain peace and to finally learn to relax. She relocated to the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica to a small town named Playa Negra (Black Beach). But before Kim leaned into her Pura Vida life, she embarked on her passion project, mecca.
