About Punta Uva, Caribbean Costa Rica

Big Tree Wildlife Refuge is located in Punta Uva, one of the most iconic beaches on the southern Caribbean coast of Costa Rica. Our property sits just down the hill, about 800 meters from the shoreline, giving you quick access to the calm, turquoise waters and white-sand beach that Punta Uva is known for.

​

Punta Uva is famous for its crystal-clear water, gentle waves, and palm-lined shoreline, making it one of the best spots in the area for snorkeling, kayaking, and swimming. The beach is peaceful, family-friendly, and surrounded by lush jungle and wildlife, a perfect blend of nature and Caribbean beauty.

​

We are also conveniently located just 15–20 minutes from Puerto Viejo, the vibrant coastal town known for its restaurants, cafés, nightlife, and Afro-Caribbean culture. Many travelers search for both Punta Uva and Puerto Viejo when planning their visit, and from Big Tree you can enjoy the best of both: quiet nature at home, and lively culture close by.
