Prime Investment or Residential Opportunity in the Heart of Uvita

Property overview

Eleven acres in the center of Uvita, steps from the entrance to Marino Ballena National Park — one of the most visited protected areas on Costa Rica's Pacific coast and a global destination for humpback whale watching. The rear boundary of the property runs along a serene river, adding a natural feature that sets apart any residential or hospitality concept built here.

The full services package is in place: potable water, electricity, and fiber optic internet all reach the property, removing the infrastructure hurdles that affect so many large parcels in the Southern Zone. The flat to gently rolling terrain keeps construction complexity low and maximizes the usable footprint.

The scale of 11 acres in this specific location creates options that simply do not exist on smaller urban parcels. A boutique hotel or eco-resort can use the river as a programming asset — guided tours, yoga spaces, meditation areas, or morning swimming. A residential project could incorporate private villas with meaningful green space between structures. An eco-retreat center can cultivate gardens, food forests, and wellness programming on the same site.

The South Pacific corridor holds approximately 5% of global biodiversity, and Uvita is at its commercial and tourism center. Demand from international travelers, remote workers, and second-home buyers continues to grow faster than supply in this market. A parcel of this size and position near Marino Ballena is not the kind of holding that reappears frequently.
