A lucrative opportunity like no other! Two co-located successful businesses – a shopping plaza and luxury resort cabins with a 12% combined annual ROI – located in the rapidly expanding resort town of Uvita!
THE SHOPPING PLAZA
With a prominent street front location and attractive frontage, this is a very popular shopping area for locals and visitors alike. Located on Calle Uvita, a major local thoroughfare, the shopping plaza sits in a rapidly developing eastern part of Uvita – a place of vacation rentals, exclusive eco accommodation, high-value villas and exciting future potential. 100% occupied, this prime location will only become more exclusive as the town of Uvita grows in population and popularity.
Beautiful signage and a towering Monarch butterfly invite shoppers to turn into the plaza. Five air-conditioned businesses currently lease retail space, with a 6th to be added shortly – a boutique clothing, crystal & handcrafted jewelry store, air conditioning specialists, a florist, and a restaurant with a beautiful outdoor covered patio area reached by a footbridge that is a draw of passersby.
Parking for at least half dozen vehicles is available while an overhang protects shoppers from rain and midday sun.
THE LUXURY RESORT CABINS
Three stand-alone cabins, reached by a secure gate behind the shopping plaza, sit among landscaped grounds, circling a common pool area. The cabins are beautiful, bright, airy and each one, separately, carries a 4.9/5 Airbnb guest rating.
All cabins are fully air-conditioned and feature a covered front porch relaxation area with seating, tables and a hammock, full bathroom & shower, dining area, TV, kitchen with fridge, stove, coffee facilities, kettle and large toaster oven, high ceilings with plentiful large glazing, and direct access to the landscaped backyards via bedroom patio doors. Highchairs and cribs are available for families with babies while a workspaces and high-speed internet offer the chance to catch up on work.
The size and number of cabins provide vacationers with full choice – a large group of families and friends can rent all three for an exclusive use of the resort while smaller groups or single travelers can pick and choose between:
CABINS 1 & 2 – Family-sized two-bedroom 600 sq ft cabins featuring a bedroom with two single beds and a master bedroom with one double sized bed. These larger cabins also include larger living & dining areas and living room furniture.
CABIN 3 – A smaller 400 sq ft cabin perfect for a single vacationer or a couple, with a double-bed bedroom and a central dining area. It includes all the amenities of Cabins 1 & 2 minus the living room furniture. The fridge is a bar fridge as opposed to the full-sized fridge of Cabins 1&2 however all other kitchen amenities are unchanged.
THE RESORT AMENITIES
Covered parking for up to six vehicles, a bodega, a laundry room with a washer & dryer, landscaped grounds and a full sized swimming pool with adjacent grassy lounge areas create a self-contained paradise. Existing land can allow for construction of 3 additional cabins. Hedging and high walls create separation from the surrounding public and private areas, offering privacy & security.
THE LOCAL AREA
Uvita is a buzzing and rapidly expanding center of tourism and services – local and global visitors, expats, entrepreneurs, families and retirees are flocking to the Costa Ballena area, with Uvita’s surf schools, waterfalls & swimholes, pristine beaches, eco & adventure tourism, and Marino Ballena National Park being major attractions.
Just over 3 km from the resort, the famous Marino Ballena National Park with her beautiful Playa Uvita invite for a day of tropical relaxation, surfing, eco and adventure tourism, whale watching, sport fishing, snorkeling & SCUBA, strolling to the stunning ‘whale’s tail’ sand and rock formation, beach volleyball, and so much more! Monkeys, macaws, sloths, whales & dolphins, beautiful blue morpho butterflies and other jungle critters live and play in the National Park as well as the town of Uvita. A few minutes’ walk from the resort gates will bring you to primeval jungles, slopes of the towering coastal mountains, waterfalls, rivers & swimholes, restaurants, cafes, grocers, boutique shops and even local beer breweries. An adventure in itself!
Uvita’s annual ‘Envision’ music & lifestyle festival is becoming a global fixture and, together with the many yoga, retreat and spiritual centres, it is putting Uvita on a map as a major place for spiritual and lifestyle enlightenment.
