Description
Turnkey Hotel for Sale in Uvita – Steps from Marino Ballena National Park
Opportunities like this simply don’t come around often. A thriving, high-performing beach resort with a consistent occupancy rate above 90%, an established restaurant, and an enviable location just a short walk from the entrance of Marino Ballena National Park is now available in the heart of Uvita — one of Costa Rica’s most in-demand tourism destinations.
This commercial property is ideal for investors seeking a fully operational hospitality business with strong financial performance, excellent guest reviews, and multiple avenues for growth.
⸻
Prime Location in Uvita’s Tourism Corridor
Only a 5-minute walk from Playa Uvita and the famous Whale Tail, the resort benefits from year-round tourism driven by:
•Whale watching tours
•Surfing and paddleboarding
•Adventure and eco-tourism
•Sport fishing
•Envision Festival
•A wide variety of dining and shopping options
With both national and international visitors arriving in steady numbers throughout the year, demand in this area continues to grow.
⸻
THE RESTAURANT – A Vibrant Social Hub
The resort’s spacious open-air restaurant sits beside the pool and acts as the lively centerpiece of the property. It features:
•50 m² dining area with seating for 42 guests
•Warm tropical ambiance with natural wood finishes
•30 m² fully equipped kitchen and storage area
•Dedicated bar space for cocktails and casual service
•Wheelchair-accessible layout and 4 m² accessible restroom
Because the restaurant is located beside the main walking route to the beach, it attracts both in-house guests and nearby foot traffic, giving it strong independent revenue potential.
⸻
THE HOTEL – Comfortable Pool-View Guest Rooms
The hotel wing consists of eight 15 m² rooms, each appointed with:
•Air conditioning
•Private bathroom with shower
•Twin-size bed
•TV, nightstand, shelving, and ceiling fan
•Bright tropical décor
•Pool and garden views
Three of the lower rooms offer wheelchair accessibility.
Total guest capacity for hotel rooms: 16 guests
⸻
THE CABINS – Perfect for Families & Long Stays
The resort includes four spacious cabins (45 m² each), each accommodating up to six guests. Features include:
•Full living + dining room
•Equipped kitchen (stove, fridge, microwave, coffee maker, kettle, cutlery)
•Pull-out couch
•Table, chairs, TV, shelving
•Two air-conditioned bedrooms with twin beds, fans, and TVs
•Private bathroom
•Covered patio with hammock and lush greenery
All four cabins are wheelchair accessible.
Total guest capacity for cabins: 24 guests
⸻
THE POOL – Central, Inviting, and Perfect for Relaxation
The beautifully designed 26 m pool sits between the hotel and restaurant, making it a focal point of the guest experience. It offers:
•Depth from 1 m to 1.6 m
•Separate 0.5 m kiddie pool
•Sunbeds and shaded areas throughout the day
•Outdoor shower for rinsing
Guests staying in the lower hotel rooms are just steps away from the water — a major selling point for vacationers.
⸻
Parking & Access
•Direct access from a public road
•Ample parking at the entrance
•Reception building conveniently located at the front
⸻
Additional Commercial Potential
This resort is already a profitable, well-run operation — but there are multiple opportunities to expand income.
Restaurant Leasing Option
Owners may choose to:
•Operate the restaurant directly, OR
•Lease it to an outside operator for steady, hands-off income
Seasonal or rotating concepts (every 6–12 months) can generate local buzz and keep offerings dynamic.
Event & Experience Opportunities
The restaurant and pool area are perfect for:
•Yoga and wellness retreats
•Salsa nights and live music
•Workshops and educational sessions
•Community events and private parties
Uvita’s tourism demographic strongly favors curated experiences, offering an easy path to additional revenue.
⸻
Why This Property Stands Out
•Exceptional occupancy rate (90%+)
•Multiple revenue streams (hotel rooms, cabins, restaurant, events)
•Excellent guest satisfaction scores (84–97%)
•Wheelchair-accessible across major portions of the property
•Ideal for both hands-on operators and passive investors
•Situated in one of Costa Rica’s strongest and fastest-growing tourism markets
This is truly a rare turn-key investment opportunity in Uvita.
