About this property

Set on a generous 10-acre parcel with high-visibility highway frontage in Uvita, this unique property is one of the few remaining commercial opportunities of its size this close to the beach. Ideally located just minutes from Marino Ballena National Park and Uvita’s town center, it offers unmatched accessibility, scale, and potential for redevelopment.

The existing infrastructure, originally built as the Samsara Hotel, includes guest accommodations, a licensed restaurant, a pool area, and a private owner’s residence. While the current setup is more rustic in style and operation, it provides a flexible foundation for a new vision. Whether upgraded, repurposed, or reimagined entirely, the existing buildings offer value for those looking to build efficiently within Costa Rica’s permitting and development frameworks.

Highlights:

Direct Highway Frontage – Excellent visibility for commercial use
10 Usable Acres – Large-scale footprint for future development
Pre-Existing Hotel Infrastructure – Includes 10 guest suites, restaurant, pool, owner’s residence, and operational amenities
Licensed Restaurant – Street-facing with liquor license and growth potential
Walking Distance to the Beach and Town and only 1 minute to central Uvita
On-Site Amenities – Pool with sun deck, storage areas, offices, laundry, and workshop
Football Field & Parking for 20+ Vehicles
Flat Terrain & Easy Access – No 4×4 required, paved road directly to property

The Opportunity:

This is a strategic acquisition for developers, boutique hoteliers, or commercial investors seeking land with scale, centrality, and infrastructure in place. With flexible zoning and an ideal location on the Costanera highway, the property is well-positioned for a variety of concepts: such as an eco-lodge, budget hotel, roadside commercial center, or a hybrid residential/commercial project.

What Makes It Special:

Unlike many large parcels in the Southern Zone, this one offers both scale and convenience. The pre-existing structures allow for a quicker start to any redevelopment plans, and the flat terrain makes building straightforward. Its proximity to the beach, town services, and one of Costa Rica’s most visited national parks only strengthens its long-term investment appeal.

Bottom Line:

For the right buyer, this property is a canvas with serious potential. The location, access, and size are undeniable and the existing infrastructure provides a head start for bringing a new vision to life.
