Punta Uvita lies on Costa Rica’s South Pacific coast where forested hills descend towards the ocean. The area is associated with Marino Ballena National Park and a coastline that feels less intensely developed than the country’s northern resort zones.
Ocean and rainforest
Seasonal whale watching, boat trips, beaches and waterfalls provide the principal experiences. The famous whale-tail-shaped sand formation is visible according to tides and conditions.
Gateway to the south
Uvita works well as a comfortable stepping stone towards the Osa Peninsula or as a destination in its own right. Private villas in the hills can combine ocean views with excellent privacy.
