Costa Ballena Region
You have undoubtedly heard about the pura vida philosophy that flavors everyday life in Costa Rica. The pace is a little bit slower, the people are friendlier, and the environment is vibrant. People spend more time outdoors and in their community. Each of our Costa Ballena communities is unique and offers a different lifestyle. So where do you see yourself fitting in to live your best, most pura vida life?
Our Costa Ballena region of South Pacific Costa Rica consists of three main villages: Dominical to the north, Uvita in the center, and Ojochal to the south. These villages are the economic and social hubs for a number of smaller communities. We will focus on these three centers to help you decide which might be your future hometown.
