New contemporary tropical villa boasts with a movie theater and views of the iconic whale’s tail

Property overview

Five minutes from Marino Ballena National Park, this 3-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom villa in Uvita was built around a clear view of the Whale's Tail — the iconic sandbar formation that defines this stretch of Costa Rica's southern Pacific coast. On 5,393 m² within a small gated community on Calle Las Brisas, the 435 m² structure combines concrete block construction (using the German Doppel system) with tropical finishes that keep maintenance straightforward without sacrificing design quality.

The architects oriented every major space toward the Pacific. Expansive glass walls pull the ocean and jungle into the living areas, while raw concrete textures and warm timber accents create contrast that stays visually interesting without requiring ornamentation. The master suite centers on a freestanding soaking tub positioned to face the Whale's Tail directly, backed by a glass-enclosed rain shower. All three bedrooms include en-suite baths — no shared facilities, no compromises for guests.

The dedicated home theater is a genuine room, not a bonus space adapted from a spare bedroom — custom designed for immersive viewing. The infinity pool extends the outdoor living area with the same ocean orientation as the interior. Solar panels and sustainability-focused mechanical systems reduce ongoing operating costs and align with how this region's most considered buyers increasingly approach ownership.

Uvita's main street, restaurants, and surf breaks are minutes away, and Marino Ballena National Park — one of the most visited natural attractions on the southern Pacific coast — is a 5-minute drive. For buyers who want architectural quality, views of a genuinely iconic landmark, and access to the lifestyle that draws people to this part of Costa Rica, this villa covers all three.
