    About Uvita & Dominical

    Tucked along Costa Rica’s southern Pacific coast, Uvita and Dominical are two neighboring towns we keep coming back to—and once you visit, you’ll see why! Between the lush jungle, uncrowded beaches, epic surf, and incredible marine life, it’s kind of a dream combo. We’ve watched humpback whales breach just offshore, surfed mellow waves, and even found what might be Costa Rica’s best waterfall!

    Check out our guides below for where to stay, what to eat, and all the can’t-miss things to do in these laid-back coastal gems!
