Achiote Villas
# "Breathtaking" For Real
Why should you trust us?
The Swank Guide has partnered with Booking.com and Tripadvisor to provide easy booking links for the hotels we recommend. Why? Because it ensures we can get you the lowest price, and it helps us continue to bring you empowering and entertaining content.
This new booking feature does not signal a change in our total editorial independence or in our status as a fully fan-supported business. Simply put: we have no financial relationship with any hotel or experience we recommend. We do not accept bags of cash, Dodgers tickets, sacrificial animals or blushing flatteries. The only way to get recommended by Swank is if we've tried it, loved it and would recommend it to our family and friends.

Swank you!

Ever dreamt of escaping to a hidden paradise where the rainforest meets pristine beaches? Welcome to the Achiote Villas in Uvita, Costa Rica! Nestled high above the charming town of Uvita on Costa Rica’s southern Pacific coast, these villas offer Uvita—or even Costa Rica’s—best views. Design nerds take note: there are only two villas here for rent, plus the owner’s stylish abode next door, all perched in perfect harmony with the surrounding jungle.
Each villa is super private, with its own plunge pool, expansive terrace, and interiors that scream minimalist chic. You’ll find no on-site restaurant or spa here, but who needs them when the views are this good? This place is all about unwinding in tranquility. If you do feel the need to venture out, Uvita’s casual eateries are just a short drive away. But be warned, nightlife is pretty sparse, so this is more of a ‘sip wine under the stars’ kind of spot.
Achiote Villas is the ultimate retreat for those who might want to mix adventure and luxury. Whether you’re an adventure seeker ready to hike and surf, or looking to unwind in a serene, wildly beautiful setting, this place has got you covered. A three-and-a-half-hour drive from the airport in San José, it’s not close, but worth the effort to get here.
