Opulent, seductive, and lush, Casa Gandhi delivers the ultimate in luxury and privacy. This architectural masterpiece ocean-view estate is nestled on 18 pristine acres of rainforest, conveniently located just 9 minutes south of Uvita in a private gated community. You’re minutes from stunning beaches, the Costanera highway, dozens of excellent restaurants, eco-adventure tours, and the charming town of Uvita with shops, banks, and services.

Set at 800 feet elevation, Casa Gandhi offers commanding panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and five offshore islands. Expansive glass doors welcome refreshing ocean breezes into a light-filled home with ceiling fans in every room. Begin your mornings sipping coffee while watching scarlet macaws and howler monkeys serenade the sunrise. Explore the lush grounds filled with tropical flora and fauna, including agouti, coati, sloths, and white-faced monkeys.

About the host

Hosted by Tom and Christine

Host profile image
Tom, a Florida native, and Christine who has lived in over 20 countries and US states, fell in love with Costa Rica’s Southern Zone, where lush rainforest mountains meet the Pacific Ocean. In 2008 they purchased a stunning ocean-view property and built their dream home. Together, their skills and dedication laid the foundation for Jaguar Property Management, known for going above and beyond to ensure every guest feels valued and cared for.

Why they chose this property

The Uvita area offers an exceptional blend of refined tranquility and natural beauty. It’s large enough to provide quality dining, shopping, and services—yet remains delightfully free of mass tourism. Where the emerald rainforest cascades down to meet the Pacific Ocean, you'll find a temperate, tropical paradise with no cold weather, no crowds, and an abundance of exotic wildlife. It’s a serene, sophisticated escape in the heart of Costa Rica’s Southern Zone.

What makes this property unique

Casa Gandhi is an architecturally stunning home, the ideal retreat for multiple couples or families, offering the perfect balance of shared spaces and private sanctuaries.

Set within a vibrant tropical landscape, the villa is surrounded by nature’s beauty: colorful toucans, scarlet macaws, monkeys, butterflies, and playful coati families are frequent visitors. The home offers the ideal balance of privacy and convenience—tucked away in a serene setting, yet just minutes from the best beaches, restaurants, and adventure tours in the Uvita area.

Thoughtfully designed with comfort and style in mind, Casa Gandhi invites you to relax, reconnect, and savor the pura vida lifestyle. Best of all, the panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and Marino Ballena National Park are truly unforgettable—more breathtaking in person than any photo can capture.
