Uvita is a laid-back spot on Costa Rica’s southwestern coast, where jungle-covered hills meet the Pacific and long sandy beaches sit alongside Marino Ballena National Park. Humpback whales pass through the waters seasonally, while the village itself has a good choice of casual bars, local restaurants and outdoor adventures. If you’re looking for somewhere special to stay, Rancho Pacifico is our top pick. This adults-only retreat has gorgeous treehouses, spacious villas and amazing ocean views, with a peaceful, tucked-away feel that makes it ideal for a romantic escape.
