Our guiding spirit
02
Soothe
Through presence, nature, animals, gentle care and feng shui — to push back the heavy energies.
03
Enlighten
Restoring joy, dignity and light to the very end. A place where light prevails.
Welcome every soul, soothe every heart, brighten every season.
Why this project
A need of our time
We live longer — but too often in loneliness. Old age now goes hand in hand with isolation, and the end of life unfolds mostly between home and hospital, for lack of a humane in-between.
Welcome to Kim's Paradise was born from one simple belief: the last seasons of life deserve as much gentleness, beauty and dignity as the first.
The project
A respite home in Marbella
Welcome to Kim's Paradise is a place of renewal where elders — and their loved ones — come for stays of a few days to a few weeks. A warm alternative between home and hospital.
In the heart of Andalusian nature, the joy of living returns: the presence of others, the company of rescued animals, gentle care, natural food, and the soothing rhythm of sunlit days.
Our approach
Humane and caring
Support, listening and care at the heart of our mission.
Support
Being present at every step, with respect and never rushing.
Listen
Giving full space to each person's voice, needs and story.
Care
For body, heart and soul — through gentle gestures and sincere attention.

Who we are
Kim Hirschy
Founder
A project born from a life journey.
Welcome to Kim's Paradise is led by Kim Hirschy. Settled in Spain since 1968, near Marbella, she has spent her life seeking — and finding — the paths to peace.
From a sometimes difficult personal journey she made a strength: she explored many therapies and approaches to well-being, which she now wishes to pass on, surrounded by specialists, in service of this place.
Her legitimacy is not merely theoretical: it is that of someone who has experienced, in herself, the need for such a haven.
