A Sanctuary Where Nature Heals
Nestled between the jungle and the turquoise Caribbean Sea, the awa Beach Hotel Spa Costa Rica offers a rare balance of sophistication and simplicity. Here in Punta Uva, rainforest whispers merge with ocean waves, creating a natural rhythm that slows the body and clears the mind. The property embodies a philosophy of connection — to self, to the environment and to the slow, gentle tempo of island life.
From the moment you arrive, the air feels different: warm, fragrant and light with sea salt. The hotel’s tropical design uses local wood, stone and linen, opening seamlessly to the landscape. Each sound — waves, birds, leaves — is part of a soft Caribbean soundtrack. Nothing feels forced or artificial. Guests often describe it as “time slowing down,” a feeling that deepens with every sunrise.
Wellness Beyond the Spa
At the awa Beach Hotel Spa Costa Rica, wellness is not limited to massage rooms. It’s woven into architecture, light and air. Every suite opens to nature, allowing the ocean breeze to drift through and sunlight to set the tone for calm.
Garden, jungle and ocean-view suites function as personal sanctuaries. Large windows erase the line between indoors and outdoors, letting green canopies and sea horizons frame your stay. The décor celebrates simplicity — handcrafted wood, organic fabrics, and tones of sand, sky and palm. Mornings begin with yoga or coffee on the terrace, evenings close with the hush of waves. In between, time feels generous, unhurried and healing.
Each room—whether garden, jungle, or ocean view—serves as a personal sanctuary. Large glass doors frame the horizon, blending the boundary between inside and out. The décor favors simplicity: handcrafted wood furniture, white fabrics, and neutral tones inspired by sand and sea. Morning light brings soft warmth; evenings arrive with the lull of distant surf. Every moment, from sunrise yoga to a quiet cup of Costa Rican coffee, becomes part of a wellness ritual.
The Essence of the awa Beach Hotel Spa Costa Rica
Tucked amid lush vegetation, the spa itself embodies balance and nature’s intelligence. Treatments use local botanicals, volcanic minerals and essential oils drawn from native plants. Skilled therapists personalize each ritual, merging deep-tissue pressure with rhythmic movement inspired by the tides.
Sessions may start with a tea infusion and gentle Caribbean music before moving into a coconut-oil massage, sea-salt scrub or tropical-fruit facial that revives the skin. Lemongrass and eucalyptus perfume the air, while the sound of waves enters softly through open windows. Guests leave with a sense of lightness — body and spirit aligned with the landscape.
At the awa Beach Hotel Spa Costa Rica, therapy becomes more than relaxation; it’s an act of connection between human rhythm and natural flow.
Every ritual ends with a sensory transition: open windows that let the sea breeze in, natural scents of lemongrass and eucalyptus, and silence that feels sacred. Guests leave lighter, calmer, and deeply attuned to themselves. The spa is not a service—it’s a philosophy of harmony between environment and body.
Design That Inspires Serenity
The architecture of awā translates the Caribbean’s tranquility into form. Each structure follows the topography, blending modern lines with organic curves. Interiors use natural textures, gentle lighting and handmade décor to create emotional balance. The color palette — soft greens, creams and honey-gold — reflects the forest and the beach beyond.
Walking through the property feels like moving through a meditation. Light changes, shadows breathe, and your heartbeat unconsciously slows. This is not the luxury of excess but of awareness — a design that heals simply by being honest.

Caribbean Slow Living
The philosophy of awā reflects the soul of Costa Rica’s South Caribbean. Life moves slowly here, intentionally. Meals are crafted with fresh, local ingredients: coconut milk, fresh fish, tropical herbs and cacao from nearby farms. Dining at awā is more than nourishment; it’s ritual. Each bite continues the spa’s sense of care.
Afternoons drift in quiet harmony — a swim, a nap, a barefoot stroll through the garden. The absence of rush becomes the essence of luxury. At the awa Beach Hotel Spa Costa Rica, even stillness feels like an art form.
Evenings of Reflection
When evening falls, golden light spills over the palm leaves and ocean. Guests gather on terraces to watch the sunset dissolve into the horizon, a silent ceremony of color and calm. Some choose twilight massages designed to prepare for deep sleep; others sip herbal cocktails crafted with Caribbean botanicals.
As the night deepens, the line between interior and exterior disappears. The hotel seems to breathe with its guests. In this serenity, rest arrives naturally, and dreams feel unnecessary — you’re already within one.
Where Tropical Design Meets the Soul
To stay at awā is to experience wellness as belonging. The design doesn’t compete with nature; it honors it. Every material, fragrance and sound has purpose. Guests depart transformed not by grand gestures, but by the subtle reawakening of calm.
In Punta Uva, surrounded by rainforest and sea, the awa Beach Hotel Spa Costa Rica reminds visitors that peace isn’t found in distance, but in presence. Here, wellness isn’t something you pursue — it’s what you remember when the world finally slows down.
