Experience breathtaking ocean views from this modern 2BR home in Uvita, Costa Rica, with an infinity pool, rainforest surroundings, and open living spaces just 2 miles from town.
Overview
Nestled in the mountains of Uvita, this brand-new home offers stunning views of the Whale’s Tail and is surrounded by lush rainforest. Located less than 2 miles from town, you can wake up to the calls of toucans and enjoy breakfast at the open kitchen island. The living room features sliding doors that open to welcome ocean breezes and panoramic ocean vistas. Take a refreshing dip in the infinity pool while soaking in the beauty of Costa Rica’s southern coastline. Pura Uvita provides a perfect setting for a tranquil and immersive rainforest experience.
The Space
We instantly fell in love with this location because of its breathtaking view. After searching properties throughout Costa Rica, this one stood out immediately. The Osa Peninsula’s natural beauty is unparalleled, offering a serene environment where you can gaze directly at the Whale’s Tail from your home, all while being immersed in the rainforest.
The house showcases a modern industrial design with concrete and locally sourced wood finishes. Two cedar trees removed to make space for the house were fully repurposed into closets, doors, and cabinets. Wood from smaller trees was also incorporated to minimize waste.
Designed with an open floor plan, the home features soaring ceilings and a living room that opens onto the terrace, creating a spacious indoor-outdoor living area that encourages airflow throughout. The ceiling design and strategically placed fans maintain a comfortable temperature, making air conditioning unnecessary, although it is available in the bedrooms.
This 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home comfortably accommodates four guests (two per bedroom) but can sleep an additional 2 to 4 people using two sofa beds in the living room. Amenities include high-speed WiFi, a flat-screen TV, and a fully equipped kitchen with all necessary utensils. Linens, towels, shampoo, conditioner, and soap are provided.
Outdoor spaces include an infinity pool, a large terrace, and a lounging deck that can also be used for yoga.
Guest Access
Guests have full access to the entire house and pool. Access to the washer and dryer storage area is generally restricted to the cleaning staff but may be granted upon request.
Location and Additional Information
Please note that the property is accessed via a well-maintained dirt road, but a 4x4 vehicle is required due to a steep final stretch.
The area is experiencing increased development as more people are attracted to Uvita and surrounding regions, so some construction may be visible nearby. Construction activity is common from Escaleras through Uvita and south of Ojochal.
While Costa Rica’s infrastructure is impressive given the remote and rugged terrain, occasional power and water outages can occur due to fallen trees or damaged pipes. To mitigate this, the house is equipped with a battery backup that keeps the internet running for up to two hours and water tanks to provide supply during outages. However, please be aware that interruptions may happen beyond our control.

It was a wonderful time in this villa in Uvita. The accommodation was very well located, in the middle of the jungle, very clean, the place is secure, very pleasant to live in. Everything was clean and well laid out. We saw many animals and even a colony of Coatis! The host was charming, very well organized and very responsive. I would recommend 100%.

Uns hat das Haus sehr gefallen. Die Aussicht ist fabelhaft. Wir haben es genossen einfach auf der Terrasse zu sitzen und in die Ferne zu schauen. Die Einrichtung hat uns sehr gefallen. Insbesondere der Küchenblock aus Stein und das offene Wohnraumkonzept sowie die Duschen die halb außerhalb lagen. Insgesamt tolles Interieur-Design und sehr gute Ausstattung.

Beautiful house up high above Uvita. Million dollar view. House was clean and comfortable. Our kids loved it. Easy to get to the town but must have a 4x4.

Beautiful place and a simply unmatched view! Situated on a mountain with unpaved roads but still easily accessible with a 4-wheel drive. Only the bedrooms are air conditioned, but that’s not a problem if you spend your day seeing all this place has to offer. As you should!

This place is absolutely incredible. My wife and I went for a long weekend for our 2nd anniversary and this bnb was the perfect location for just that. It’s secluded, peaceful, and the open air kitchen brings a fun jungle vibe to your stay. My favorite part of the house was the terrace and that beautiful view that comes with. AC in the bedrooms kept us nice and cool at night. And from reading other reviews I was a little worried about the drive up, but it’s not that bad get a 4X4 vehicle and send it! Big shout out to Loren for meeting us later than expected when we first arrived, that guy is a legend! The only recommendation I have is to stay as long as you possibly can!!!!

This was our first time in Costa Rica and we loved everything about this home. Be mindful you will need 4x4 because these mountains and roads are no joke. The house was absolutely beautiful, we loved having the bedrooms closed off and having the air conditioner (and bug free) and then having the living space and kitchen being open to the outside and the pool. You really do become one with nature in this home, so if you do not like bugs or insects, Costa Rica is not for you. I actually found it soothing listening to the lizards on the walls and watching them eat the other little bugs. My husband and I were able to enjoy horseback riding and a boat tour through the jungle thanks to the help of Loren, he made everything so easy for us and was always available. We got lost trying to find the house the first time after Loren showed us, but once you learn the mountain, it became easy. With the craziness of the US right now, it felt good to disconnect.

Beautiful house and absolutely incredible view. Easy check-in- Loren was very helpful. Can't wait to come back- only regret is we didn't stay long enough!
