Where to Stay in Uvita
Our wedding will be held at Art Villas (Achiote Road, OSA, Puntarenas Province, Uvita, 60405, Costa Rica). There are many Airbnb options available in that area, but we recommend booking sooner rather than later in order to have the best options. Anywhere from Dominical to Ballena will have you within a 15-20 minute drive of the venue, which is situated about halfway between these two areas. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions!
