Welcome to Hotel Vista Ballena, a natural vantage point over the Pacific where sunrises color the horizon and sunsets embrace the coast. We’re set in Costa Ballena (Uvita)—one of Costa Rica’s most lush regions—in a country that shelters around 6% of the world’s biodiversity. Rainforest, pristine beaches, and wildlife converge here: seasonal whales and dolphins, tropical birds, monkeys, and a dazzling array of plant life.
Our setting invites both exploration and calm: breakfast with a view, forest walks, beach days, and excursions to nearby reserves. Whether you seek adventure, nature-immersion, or simple rest with jaw-dropping views, Vista Ballena is your perfect base to enjoy the wonders we offer.
HELLO PARADISE
Our hotel is perched on the hillside of Uvita with panoramic views of the jungle and ocean. The beach is just a short 10-minute drive. The closest international airport, Juan Santamaria (San José, SJO), is approximately 3:30 hours from the hotel depending on traffic. Options for transportation available.
While marveling daily at our unparalleled picturesque views of the Costa Ballena and magnificent Pacific Ocean from our 20-room hotel on top of the hill, your creation of wonderful positive memories is facilitated by a highly experienced professional staff. Tropical paradise is not simply a matter of GPS location, but more of the areas where Gaia’s full physical embodiment of the higher vibrational resonance through her Nature can still be felt, like here in the Southern Pacific Zone of Costa Rica.
