About this property
Fantastic Whale's Tail View, Private, Modern Villa with Pool & River Access
Morpho Eco Retreat is an eco-friendly, designed villa perched above the jungle valley. The villa is a unique rental in the southern area of Costa Rica due to its unusual design, great privacy, and fantastic views. This special property, just 10 minutes up the mountain from the town of Uvita, is ideal for those who seek modern comfort, an outdoor lifestyle and proximity to amenities. Highlights of the property include an Infinity Plunge Pool and Rancho with unobstructed, views of the Whale's Tail National Park below", as well as river access with a waterfall and swimming hole within walking distance while remaining on the property. The main deck, housing the outdoor dining area, offers daily opportunities for bird-watching and the westward view offers a wonderful vantage point of Cano Island, one of the best destinations for snorkeling and scuba diving in Costa Rica. The utilization of natural, locally-sourced materials were adhered to throughout the construction process. Many types of wood, native to Costa Rica, were used on the custom interior furnishings.
*** You will need to rent a 4x4 vehicle with low gears to access the property due it's location, situated up one of the many mountain roads found in the area. We strongly reccommend arriving during daylight hours so that our management team can escort you to the property to familiarize yourselves with the roads. We hope you enjoy the southern Pacific zone of Costa Rica***
