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.

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.

Screaming Whales Tail View Sure ocean views are nice. However, the visual interest that whitewater and the interplay of the tides with the rock and sand formations of the Whales Tail takes it up a few notches. The view from this property has the Whales Tail nicely framed, front and center. This property is prepared and ready to build. The building pad is spacious and is sufficient for a primary home, a guest home and a pool, not to mention lots of exotic Costa Rica gardening possibilities. The services are to the property so you can start building once permits are obtained. You are towards the end of the road so that there is little drive-by. Being on the property is an experience of constant ocean breezes and with the elevation of 1,000 feet, the need for A/C is largely mitigated. The area is made up of a number of single family properties and homes. There is a 5 star hotel nearby as well, attesting to the desirability of the area. The quality of the view makes this a no-brainer for the ocean view connoisseur. Aside from the permanent residents in the area, there are a number of vacation rental homes that report high occupancy rates as well. The road maintenance and water system are paid for by the community with reasonable, shared annual fees. Whales Tail view are becoming scarce on the market and ones of this caliber even more so.
