Oxygen Jungle Villas, Uvita, Costa Rica

Dawn rises honey-gold over the Pacific while mist lifts from the rainforest and toucans trade notes in the canopy. 

Tucked into the hills above Uvita on Costa Rica’s southern coast, Oxygen Jungle Villas is an intimate sanctuary of 12 villas where glass walls blur the line between indoors and wild. 

It’s coastal rainforest living—salt on the breeze, orchids on the path, and ocean horizons from a hillside infinity pool.

What Makes It Special

• Boutique scale (12 villas) wrapped in tropical greenery for true privacy.
• Hilltop coastal setting: jungle all around, the Pacific glinting below.
• Serene infinity pool and terrace bar for long, golden sunsets.
• Wellness rituals and in-villa treatments with rainforest soundtracks.
• Trail access to nearby waterfalls and beaches when you want to roam.

A Day at Oxygen Jungle Villas

Morning

Wake to birdsong and filtered jungle light. Fresh mango, warm pan de yuca, and Costa Rican coffee arrive on your terrace; a blue morpho flutters past like a dropped piece of sky.

Afternoon

Float in the infinity pool, watching pelicans stitch the coastline, then slip to Uvita Beach for a walk on the famous whale-tail sandbar. Lunch is citrusy ceviche and charred pineapple.
Evening

As howler monkeys call in the distance, order a passion-fruit gin and watch the forest turn from emerald to ink. Dinner brings line-caught fish with lime and palm-heart salad.

Night

Back in your villa, glass walls reflect constellations; tree frogs chime while the ocean hushes below.

 Insider tips for Oxygen Jungle Villas

• You absolutely need a 4×4 vehicle. The final 10-minute uphill drive is steep and unpaved. If you don’t want to drive yourself, book the hotel’s transfer or shuttle from the airport
• Room tip: Don’t leave doors open—bugs and critters are part of the jungle experience.
• Pack light! You’ll need to walk or hike a bit to reach the restaurant and pool.
• Book spa treatments early! Slots fill up quickly, especially massages.
• Bring your own wine or preferred beverages/snacks if you want late-night options.
