El Kanah is a place of refuge and restoration. Surrounded by lush vegetation and magnificent scenery, El Kanah provides a tranquil setting where individuals, couples, families or groups can come to be refreshed in body, soul and mind. We offer our guests warm hospitality and delicious food in a friendly Christian environment.
