# Welcome to Cielo Azul — Your Private Luxury Oceanview Estate in Costa Rica

Welcome to **Cielo Azul**, a spectacular 6,500 sq. ft. private oceanview estate in Uvita, Costa Rica, created for families and friends who want to experience Costa Rica **together**, without sacrificing comfort, space, or privacy.

Perched above the famous Whale's Tail and surrounded by lush tropical rainforest, Cielo Azul combines the amenities of a private luxury resort with the warmth and comfort of a family home.

**6 private bedroom suites • Sleeps 14 • Infinity pool • 14-person hot tub • Four signature gathering and entertainment spaces**

Whether you're celebrating a milestone birthday, bringing three generations together, or vacationing with several families, Cielo Azul offers something increasingly rare: **room for everyone to enjoy the vacation their own way.**

## Made for Families — Together Without Feeling Crowded

Cielo Azul is especially well suited for multigenerational families, two or three families traveling together, reunions, and special celebrations.

- Sleeps up to 14 guests comfortably
- 6 private bedroom suites
- 4 King beds and 3 Queen beds
- **10 bathrooms — 7 full bathrooms and 3 half baths**
- Every bedroom has its own ensuite bathroom
- Full air conditioning throughout, including common areas
- Spacious indoor and outdoor gathering areas
- Indoor and outdoor dining for 14
- Fast 200 Mbps fiber-optic internet
- Multiple Smart TVs

Grandparents can enjoy a quiet morning overlooking the Pacific while the younger generation enjoys the pool. Everyone can gather for dinner and sunset, then retreat to the comfort and privacy of their own suite.

**Big enough to bring everyone. Designed so everyone still has their own space.**

## Experience SKYFALL — Where Indoor & Outdoor Living Become One

Discover **SKYFALL**, Cielo Azul's signature tropical living and entertainment experience.

Expansive covered, open-sided gathering areas blend seamlessly with the surrounding rainforest and breathtaking Pacific Ocean views. With no exterior walls separating you from the tropical surroundings, Skyfall offers the freedom of outdoor living with the comfort of generous covered spaces.

Relax in the oversized **14-person hot tub**, float in the infinity-edge pool, or settle into our extraordinary **in-pool conversation lounge**, where comfortable seating and spectacular ocean views create an unforgettable setting.

A **65-inch Smart TV with access to NFL football** adds another dimension to Skyfall. Catch your favorite NFL games, cheer on your team, or enjoy a major sporting event together—all from the comfort of this spectacular covered, open-air setting.

From morning coffee and afternoon cocktails to sunset gatherings and evenings beneath the stars, Skyfall is where much of life at Cielo Azul naturally comes together.

**Experience SKYFALL.**

## Cloud 9 — Your Covered Indoor/Outdoor Sunset Retreat

Welcome to **CLOUD 9**, Cielo Azul's beautifully appointed, fully covered indoor/outdoor living space overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

Designed for year-round tropical living, Cloud 9 combines comfortable lounge seating, protection from tropical rain, and sweeping ocean and rainforest views.

Start your morning with coffee as the jungle awakens, enjoy a peaceful afternoon with a book, or gather with family and friends for another spectacular Pacific sunset.

**Rain or shine, Cloud 9 is a place to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy Costa Rica.**

## Players Club — Good Games, Good Company & Good Stories

The **PLAYERS CLUB** offers a sophisticated yet relaxed entertainment experience for guests who enjoy friendly competition and conversation.

At its center is an oversized six-person game table, perfect for poker, cards, chess, backgammon, Monopoly, and other favorite board games.

The room also features:

- Darts
- 55-inch Smart TV
- Comfortable seating
- Dedicated workspace with 32-inch monitor
- Fast Wi-Fi connectivity

Whether it's an evening poker game, a family board-game tournament, or a quiet place to catch up on work, the Players Club offers a welcoming alternative to the usual vacation rental game room.

**Good games. Good company. Great stories.**

## Surf Shack — Casual Indoor & Outdoor Fun

Welcome to the **SURF SHACK**, Cielo Azul's covered recreation pavilion, where laid-back Costa Rican surf culture meets old-fashioned family fun.

With its rustic character, high ceilings, and spacious covered interior, the Surf Shack offers a comfortable, weather-protected setting for **foosball, vintage games, and casual gatherings**.

Just steps away, a **1,600-square-foot grassy recreation lawn** provides plenty of room for outdoor cornhole competitions, games, and family activities.

A convenient half bath serves the recreation area.

The Surf Shack is especially appealing to children and teenagers looking for their own place to have fun, while remaining equally inviting for adults.

**Old-fashioned fun. Fresh tropical air. No video games required.**

## Costa Rica's Wildlife — Right Outside Your Door

At Cielo Azul, you don't always need to leave the property to experience Costa Rica's remarkable wildlife.

Watch scarlet macaws fly overhead. Hear howler monkeys calling from the surrounding rainforest. Spot toucans and parrots from the terraces, with iguanas and pizotes frequently visiting the grounds.

For children, **Costa Rica becomes the backyard.**

For adults, it might simply mean enjoying a peaceful morning coffee while watching the rainforest come alive.

Every day offers another opportunity to experience the extraordinary biodiversity of Costa Rica's southern Pacific coast.

## Dining Together — From Casual Breakfasts to Special Celebrations

Cielo Azul was designed to make gathering around the table a pleasure.

The spacious, fully equipped kitchen, three wet bars, covered BBQ area, and indoor and outdoor dining spaces make entertaining a full house comfortable and convenient.

Enjoy breakfast overlooking the Pacific, a casual afternoon barbecue, or a memorable celebration dinner with the entire family.

For an especially relaxing evening, arrange a **private chef** to prepare and serve dinner while everyone enjoys the villa.

Whether you're celebrating a birthday, anniversary, reunion, or simply being together, Cielo Azul provides an exceptional setting.

## Close to Everything — Without Giving Up Privacy

Cielo Azul offers the tranquility of a private rainforest estate while keeping Uvita's beaches, restaurants, shopping, and attractions just minutes away.

- Approximately 5 minutes to Uvita's restaurants, shops, and grocery stores
- Approximately 8 minutes to Marino Ballena National Park and Whale's Tail Beach
- Convenient access with a standard 2WD vehicle
- Nearby waterfalls, beaches, and adventure excursions

The surrounding area offers seasonal whale watching, snorkeling, scuba diving, sport fishing, zip-lining, ATV tours, canyoning, jungle hikes, and waterfall adventures.

With so many activities nearby, different generations can explore Costa Rica at their own pace.

## Your Own Local Concierge — Relax, We'll Help With the Details

Planning activities for a group of 10 or 14 shouldn't become a full-time job.

Our experienced bilingual local concierge can help coordinate:

- Private chefs and bartenders
- Airport transportation
- Whale watching and ocean excursions
- Fishing and adventure tours
- In-villa massages
- Yoga and wellness experiences
- Special celebrations

These optional services are arranged separately and may involve additional fees.

Your host personally welcomes arriving guests, introduces the property, and remains available when assistance is needed, while always respecting your privacy.

**Spend less time organizing your vacation and more time enjoying Costa Rica together.**

## Come Together in Costa Rica

The best family vacations aren't simply about bedrooms, amenities, or beautiful views.

They're about the moments everyone remembers.

Morning coffee at Cloud 9. Children spotting monkeys and macaws. An afternoon at Skyfall. Friendly competition in the Players Club. Foosball and cornhole at the Surf Shack. The whole family gathering for dinner as the sun sets over the Pacific.

Cielo Azul brings these experiences together in one extraordinary private estate, with enough space for everyone to enjoy their vacation their own way.

**Bring the whole family. There's room for everyone.**

Pura VidaWords cannot describe the beauty of Cielo Azul Villa, it was simply amazing! We had a wonderful stay! The home was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, beautifully maintained, and stocked with everything we needed. Plenty of room for all 11 of us. The location was a peaceful retreat.Whit was friendly, responsive, and made the entire experience seamless from check-in to check-out. Chef Vlad, my goodness! He was a chef, an artist, a magician with food! Vlad made some of the best meals that we have ever had, grilled lobster and tuna sashimi to name a few! Simone was very kind and helpful. We truly felt at home and appreciated all the thoughtful touches throughout the property.We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway. Thank you for a wonderful experience!The Williams family

We had the most incredible time at Whit’s property in Uvita. Really don’t have enough good things to say about the immaculate care he take of his guests. The level of thought and preparation that goes into his local recommendations is best in class. His team including his Concierge Simone and private chef Vlad just transformed our trip. The entire team was so accomodating despite our frequent last minute planning. The food was just exceptional. All of this is to say nothing of the property which speaks for itself. Just beautiful. Finally the communication with Whit was off the charts. Not surprising given the thought he put into every element of this property…but he was accessible and responsive in a way few hosts actually are. Can’t wait to go back. Would stay here again in a heartbeat

I am glad you enjoyed the villa. I was rather surprised by your comment about driving time. Your drive had some unique challenges due to the fact that you left the Airport late in the day (on a Costa Rican holiday) during a rain storm which caused the delay. The majority of our guests arrive in a little over 3 hours.

We had a lovely family vacation and this home was perfect for our group of 9. Lots of room to spread out. After days of hiking and sightseeing, it was perfect to come back to the open air pool and hot tub; especially in rainy season, the covered area was enjoyable. Whitney was easy to reach with any needs. We had a hired Chef and he had plenty of work area to prepare the meals. Thank you Whitney for sharing the home!

We utilized Simone, the house concierge and also Chef Vlad to prepare amazing meals for each evening. When Mother Nature didn't go along with our plans, we still had a fabulous time hanging around the villa with our group playing games, soaking in the hot tub or just lounging & socializing. Highly recommend and we will most definitely be back!

Thank you for such a fantastic review. I’m so glad the villa worked so well for your group and that you were able to enjoy the space—even when the weather had other ideas. Hearing that the house, the communication, and the experiences with Simone and Chef Vlad all contributed to a great stay is incredibly rewarding. Groups like yours are exactly who the villa was designed for. I truly appreciate the recommendation and would be delighted to welcome you back anytime. Warm regards, Whit

Host profile image
Moving to Costa Rica was one of the best decisions of my life.

After 25 years as an international technology executive, traveling extensively throughout the U.S. and Asia, I made a life-changing decision nearly ten years ago: to slow down, reconnect with nature, and create a new chapter in Costa Rica.

What I discovered was much more than a beautiful destination. Costa Rica offers an extraordinary way of life, shaped by its natural beauty, remarkable wildlife, welcoming people, and the spirit of Pura Vida.

Over the years, I've had the pleasure of personally welcoming hundreds of guests and sharing the experiences that make this country so special.

Whether you're visiting Costa Rica for the first time, returning for another adventure, or perhaps dreaming of making it your home someday, I'm always happy to share my local knowledge and recommendations.

I look forward to welcoming you, your family, and your friends to Cielo Azul Villa — and helping you discover a little of the Costa Rica that I fell in love with.

Why they chose this property

Why I Chose This Neighborhood

After traveling extensively around the world, I chose Uvita because it offers something increasingly rare: extraordinary natural beauty without sacrificing comfort or convenience.

Here, lush rainforest mountains meet the Pacific Ocean, wildlife is part of everyday life, and spectacular beaches are just minutes away. Yet Uvita has evolved into a thriving coastal community with wonderful restaurants, cafés, markets, shops, and excellent local services.

What I particularly love is the diversity of the surrounding area. Just north is Dominical, with its lively surf-town atmosphere and casual restaurants. Uvita and Bahía Ballena offer stunning beaches, waterfalls, wildlife, and outdoor adventures. To the south, Ojochal has earned a reputation for exceptional dining and a quieter, more intimate atmosphere.

Marino Ballena National Park and its iconic Whale's Tail are minutes away, while whale watching, surfing, snorkeling, zip-lining, hiking, and rainforest adventures are all within easy reach.

Ultimately, I chose Uvita for its remarkable balance. You can spend the morning exploring the rainforest, the afternoon relaxing beside the Pacific, and the evening enjoying an outstanding restaurant—all without the crowds and commercial atmosphere of major resort destinations.

For me, Uvita represents the very best of Costa Rica: **natural beauty, adventure, extraordinary wildlife, wonderful food, welcoming people, and the relaxed spirit of Pura Vida.**
