An Exceptional Redevelopment Opportunity Minutes from the Beach
Positioned on one of the last large-scale commercial parcels in the heart of Uvita, Hotel Samsara spans an impressive 10 usable acres of flat, buildable land with high-visibility frontage along the Costanera Highway. Just minutes from the beach and the iconic Marino Ballena National Park, this unique property offers unmatched accessibility, flexibility, and investment potential for hospitality, commercial, or mixed-use development.
With a total lot size of 4.09 hectares (10.11 acres) and approximately 700 m² (7,534 ft²) of existing built infrastructure, the property offers ample space for large-scale projects while retaining a comfortable footprint of functional, pre-existing structures. The flat topography allows for straightforward planning and expansion, and the generous land area ensures plenty of room for creative vision — for hospitality, residential, commercial, or a combination of all three.

Why It Stands Out
Unlike many properties in Costa Rica’s Southern Zone, Hotel Samsara combines scale, infrastructure, and ease of access in one of the most desirable coastal locations. Its flat terrain significantly lowers construction costs, and its pre-existing permits and structures can fast-track development timelines.
Whether you're a developer, investor, or visionary entrepreneur, this property presents a blank canvas with a running start. It’s ideal for creating a boutique eco-lodge, a commercial plaza, a wellness retreat, or even a hybrid residential/hospitality project.
With size, location, and versatility rarely found so close to the beach, Hotel Samsara is an exceptional opportunity in Uvita’s rapidly growing real estate market. With a bit of vision and investment, this hidden gem could become one of the most iconic destinations in Costa Rica’s South Pacific coast.
