    Loved the private pool and the ocean view. Found out the owners were originally from Canada and that was amazing, needs to be promoted on their site with the back story(I for one would love to hear it).

Property information

Canavida Resort & Villas are - on the mountain, in a rain forest overlooking the ocean! Located high above Uvita, you'll feel disconnected and distant from it all, yet you’re still only 12min from downtown & have wicked FAST wifi! The 180° views will stop you in your tracks. And of course there’s a pool, because what better way to cool while enjoying a timeless vacation on a 66 acre oasis in the clouds. So whether it be a coffee or tea, a glass of wine or cold drink it will pair perfectly w/ a Costa Rican sunset served daily. THE PLACE: This houses itself are brand new. From our 1-4 bedrooms, 1-3 bathrooms our customs homes sits high above Bahia Ballena in Uvita. ! It's the perfect retreat for those seeking peace, relaxation, and breathtaking views of the coast. As soon as you step inside, you'll be struck by the stunning 180 degree views of Costa Rica's South Pacific coastline including the famous Whale's tail of Uvita. Built on a ridge-line of the mountain, in the jungle over-looking the ocean, of course - its an experience you won´t soon forget. Ok, more about the incredible location they call Canavida - Imagine relaxing in your private pool as you watch the sun melt into ocean while you try and take mental snapshots of the Avatar-like landscape of the single most bio-diverse place on planet Earth. The home is also equipped with all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay, including a fully equipped kitchen, coffee machine, blender, toaster, fiber optic internet & fast wifi.

Neighbourhood information

The road up, Calle La Union, is a good road, but it’s still a mountain road through a jungle, we recommend 4WD if you have a choice, its not critical for access but does ensure a more comfortable trip regardless of the weather. LOCAL ACTIVITIES / THINGS TO DO: * Surfing: all year long- Chaman Beach, Hermosa Beach or Dominical Beach. * Dolphin and whale watching from August to Oct & mid December to February @ Ballena Marine National Park. * Natural wonders like the Whale Tail: formation of rocks and sand that forms a "Moses Pass" where two parts of the sea meet and can be traversed at low tide. * Walking or hiking - Ecological Reserve * Envision Festival in February * Mangrove in Wetlands Térraba Sierpe * Snorkeling in Caño Island - 45 min to Manuel Antonio, Quepos - 25 min to Nauyaca Waterfalls The home has plenty of parking in the driveway.
