About Uvita:
Set in one of the most biologically diverse regions of the world, Playa Uvita is among the most stunning beaches on Costa Rica’s southern Pacific coast. Located about 15 km south of Dominical, Playa Uvita is situated within the Marino Ballena National Park, a marine park that is very popular because of the annual Humpback whale migration. Uvita also hosts 2 annual music festivals, the Best Fest & Envision Festival.
Uvita de Osa is a small village in the Puntarenas province, and is notable for being home to the Cola de Ballena, or the Whale's Tail, one of the most striking and recognizable costal formations in the country. While surfing enthusiasts prefer Dominical, Uvita has become the tourist tour hub of the Costa Ballena region, largely due to it's proximity to National Park. Uvita is considered the commercial center of Costa Ballena, and has grown very much over the years where many expats from Europe and North America have made Uvita their home.
There is a lot to do and see in this amazing part of the world, like whale watching, surfing, diving & snorkeling and ATV tours, horseback riding and kayaking to name only a few. Lots of hotels, B&Bs, rustic lodges and beach cabinas are available for rent, and there's lots of local restaurants, bars and street side cafes that serve up delicious local fare.

There is a current influx of residents from all parts of Europe and North America.

For those looking for a simpler approach, Villa del Sol provides this. The Villa del Sol development is made up of 2 cul-de-sac boulevards, side by side. They are situated near to the beach. Hence, the properties appeal to expat & nationals alike who all share this same love of the beach. Some enjoy the easy beach access for surfing. Some enjoy having a safe beach where the kids can play. Some enjoy being able to stretch a hammock between a couple of the palm or almendra trees to read a book in the shade. Some just enjoy being there, for whatever reason. This writer enjoys launching his kayak on this beach and paddling out to the Whales Tail, sometimes at sunset for the spectacular view. Villa del Sol properties are ready to build. All services are in. Electricity is underground so there are no poles and cables dotting the landscape.

There is one home in Phase 1 that has 4 bedrooms and plenty of outside living space. Forbes magazine calls Uvita the #1 retirement destination for 2018. We knew that prior to their publication and the aforementioned influx of foreigners to the area bears this out. There are a few remaining lots in Phase 2. Phase 1 has been sold out. Please feel free to inquire and set up a visit as it is an easy show. The developer is available to consult with for local construction and design resources, as will be your realtor. Again, making it easy.

Gorgeous ocean views, excellent infrastructure, lush jungles and abundant water, thanks to the nearby river. Whales Tail Garland is an excellent value for the nature lover. Located about 12 minutes up the mountain road from Uvita's town center where most of life's necessities and conveniences can be had. The area is known for being attractive to tourists due to the interest (or need?) to connect with nature from all parts of the world. Under $100,000 ocean view properties are diminishing and will soon to be a thing of the past. This is an excellent choice for the price as well as the quality of life that it offers. Uvita is located in the heart of the Costa Ballena which translates to "Whale Coast" and is descriptive of why many people flock to the area - whale watching. But you can add to that the consistently heard statement that "I have finally found Costa Rica" due to the verdant and canopied jungles that cloak the mountains, as well as the ever increasing wildlife that is seen in those jungles. There is plenty to do and so Uvita enjoys repeat visitors, year after year, along with a growing crowd of first-timers. The property slopes down from the access road. The pictures and video give a good lay of the property. At a lower part of the property there is a trail head that provides access to a network of trails that residents of the development can use to get down to the falls of the Rio Cortezal. There are 7 mountain lots in the development and all have access to the trails. All of the lots have sold at least one time. This one is a re-sale.
