The Southern Zone of Costa Rica is known for its laid back vibe and three of the most magical towns in Costa Rica: Dominical, Ojochal, and Uvita. Rainforests, legendary surf spots, long stretches of beaches, an abundance of rich terrain and a laid-back atmosphere define this area. It’s a rare place on earth. While development has picked up recent years due to improved roadways and access to the area, the development and conservation regulations ensure this area will never become a noisy resort town with overbearing skyscrapers.

Along the Costa Ballena lie Dominical, Uvita, and Ojochal. These three Southern Zone coastal towns are off the radar hot spots. Dominical is a legendary surf spot. Uvita is a commercial center. Ojochal is a small village in the jungle. Deep blue waters meet the towering mountains and green jungles forming a breathtaking landscape that is raw, pure and clean. This is a place for adventurers and those seeking a more laid-back lifestyle.

Area excursions include whale and dolphin tours, zip lining and canopy tours, scuba diving, snorkeling, deep sea fishing, hiking, Nauyaca Falls, world-famous beaches, surfing, wildlife tours, river rafting, sea kayaking, paddle boarding, bird watching, golf, photography, horseback riding, festivals, and more. The Dominical/Uvita area also offers various yoga classes, retreats, and spas.

Dominical
Dominical attracts surfers from around the world each year to its legendary waves. The waters here are not for swimming and the waves are legendary. Making the trek to Dominical is a surfer’s pilgrimage. This haven beyond its legendary surf is an attractive laid-back village with a few restaurants and shops. Surrounded by estuaries, mangroves, and marshes, the area has an abundance of wildlife. It’s now home to an estimated 700 residents. The pristine environment and warm culture draw surfers and eco-tourists. With lots of yoga and various types of holistic health practitioners mixing with the local culture harmoniously, it is a beacon for wellness. Vegan, raw food, and juicing are common here. Those seeking to live a more sustainable lifestyle flock here. In Dominical, there is time to reflect and just be.

Ojochal
Ojochal is a popular landing spot for expats from North America and Europe. It has grown into a culinary hot spot too. This coastal town is just 30-minutes south of Dominical. With hotels, restaurants, bars, doctors’ offices and a supermarket, it is a low-key Costa Rica town complete with the conveniences of modern life making it an ideal place to visit. With ATV tours, canopy tours, bird watching and mangroves to explore, there is no shortage of adventures and activities. For surfing, there is Playa Ballena and Playa Uvita nearby.

Uvita
Nestled in between Dominical and Ojochal along the Costa Ballena is magical Uvita. This town has a large supermarket and is probably the most developed area of the three places. Scuba diving, horseback riding, canopy tours and wildlife tours are all nearby. Uvita has grown famous for the hosting the annual music festival, the Envision Festival, which celebrates art, culture, yoga and sustainability each year in February. People flock to this small town in Costa Rica each year for the festival, which draws large crowds.

The magic and charm of these three towns lie in the quiet sustainable development, which protects the pristine ecosystems while also providing a level of comfort. The culture is laid back, health conscious and committed to well-being. There are few places left in the world that can match what the Southern Zone offers as a quiet refuge from the modern world for adventure, fun, and restoration.

La Experiencia CR is located in the Southern Zone of Costa Rica, approximately a three and one-half hour drive from SJO Airport, and forty-five minutes south of the Quepos Airport. Villa de Experiencia is easily accessible from the Costanera Highway, only a short one-minute drive up the road.. Please note that roads in Costa Rica are often unpaved and a four-wheel drive vehicle is recommended for getting around. For ease of travel, airport transfers by private car can be pre-arranged to bring you directly to the villa and a rental car brought to you at the residence for you during your stay.

Our stay was absolutely amazing. We chose the destination to celebrate two milestone birthdays. The property was perfect for two couples and could have comfortably accommodated another. The home was beautifully situated in the jungle surrounded by wildlife and beautiful flowers. Cynthia and Karol were extremely gracious and took the guesswork out of our stay. Their curated experiences, suggested excursions, and help with transportation was extremely helpful. Finally, Chef Chino topped off the experience preparing delicious Costa Rican fare. La Experiencia will be on the top of our list to visit again.

Beautiful deck for dinner and hanging out majority of our trip. There's a large supermarket in town for shampoo//conditioner/lotion basics that we didnt bring along with any food items you need. The views are out of this world and home is stocked with beach items like boogie boards, beach chairs, and coolers. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful visit from 06/29-07/06/2022. Cynthia was an excellent host; she has great recommendations and was able to assist with some unique travel needs we experienced in getting our entire group out there (and back!). Even though we visited during the start of the 'rainy season', the weather did not hinder any of our plans; we only had to reschedule 1 tour. In addition to staying at a fantastic property, the beaches and restaurants are so clean & staff are both welcoming and efficient, We Visited: *La Cusinga Lodge (grounds offer hiking, beach access, great views, & wonderful meal @ Acari); *’whale tail’ at Marino Ballena Natnl Park (at low tide you can walk out & see the ‘parting’ of the ocean-waves/water that ripple in opposing patterns) w/ lunch @ Ballena Bistro and Matt’s fav bite of homemade coconut + almond ice cream; *Playa Hermosa beach day to watch the surfers; *Farmer’s Market in OSA to taste local produce & meet community artisans; *Ladies hiked Nauyaca Waterfalls-boys took in a day of sport fishing; *boat trip to Corcovado Natnl Park & snorkeling @ Cano Island; *finished the trip with a farm-table dinner @ Rancho Cielo Alto (Jaz & her team cook the 4 courses where you can watch/learn through their open kitchen-incredible!). I now understand why you see & hear the phrase ‘Pura Vida’ everywhere you turn 💕. Their pure (or simple) life promotes beauty through a variety of landscapes & experiences. Thank you again!

Beautiful property and great location. Karol was extremely helpful and responded quickly when we wanted advice on restaurants, etc…. Definitely a place to get pampered if this is what you want. Ate at Arcari in La Cusinga Eco Lodge (extremely good food, great prices, gorgeous views, and very close to house) and La Ostra (on way to house, which was our favorite), and La Parcela (good food and great view). The people of Costa Rica are wonderful, friendly, very helpful and patient with our broken Spanish. We did take advantage of using the Chef “Chino” to celebrate many milestone anniversaries and birthdays. Fabulous!!
