CieloMar..our hidden treasure of the Caribbean.
A unique artistic house located on a cool breezy ridge overlooking Punta Uva and Playa Chiquita..walking distance to several excellent restaurants, as well as 2 grocery stores,and,of course, the beach(1/2 mile down the hill from the house to Playa Chiquita, which is a beautiful walk-in only beach.)The beautiful beach at Punta Uva is another mile or so down the beach in one direction, and the beautiful beach at Cocles is a mile or so the other way.
Awesome oceanviews and cool breezes enchant and seduce lucky guests from every level of the three story lodge.
Down the path from the lodge is an infinity pool with bar, rancho and buffet table... with awesome ocean and jungle canyon view.. all romantically lit for evening entertainment or swimming.
Large and sexy downstairs mastersuite with king bed and oceanviews ,private porch with jungle and ocean vistas,full oceanview bath with whimsical stone shower/tub.

Spectacular third story jungleroom, with a double bed. Find yourself in the canopy with the toucans.. great wildlife watching-bring your binoculars or spotting scope for incredible birding!If you stay in a place down on the flats along the ocean, you might occasionally see a toucan or some parrots- at Cielomar, on the top of the hill, we normally see dozens of both every day,as well as many other kinds of birds and tropical wildlife. Gametable and viewing benches.
Open ocean and jungle view decks on every level with comfortable outdoor lounge furniture..
Behind Cielo Mar is a canyon where clouds are born.....we call it
THE LOST WORLD PRESERVE
Explore the real jungle on our extensive cleared trails and rest at our secret hidden rancho.Magical jungle vistas,creeks and old growth forest delight.Huge bromeiads cling to the heights and trees and vines flower and paint the hillsides.Endangered hardwoods big as a house hold up the sky.
The wildlife viewing is spectacular.Virtually every species found in the region is represented in our preserve and the neighboring private preserves.Its like a zoo without bars.
A stay at CieloMar is truly enchanting. It will be a once in a lifetime adventure to find yourself here ...ABOVE IT ALL!!!!
NEW..We are proud to offer PRIVATE YOGA SESSIONS..Talk to our managers!
If renting a car in Costa Rica to get here rent a FOUR WHEEL DRIVE. Our hill is steep and slick if rainy. The rest of the country is also steep and slick when rainy.It may cost a few extra dollars but will provide you with access to many places( including alot of the parks) you could not easily get to otherwise.

Map & Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2007
Why the Owner Chose Punta Uva
This property is unique in that when we bought the house it was trashed and it it needed alot of work,but had a spectacular site. WE are builders by trade so for us it was a perfect opportunity. Just behind it was a landlocked parcel we were able to pick up at the same time to create our preserve.For the last years we have worked to put together an incredible experiential property.
We have renovated the house into a lovely and comfortable lodge.The pool is spectacular and the preserve will take your breath away..
The Unique Benefits at this Oceanview Lodge
Cool breeze,incredible Caribe view,our house is in the primary canopy at the top of a ridge. The birding and wildlife watching is as good as anywhere in the country. Close to the beach,and town,but secluded in its own world.
The cool pool could not be prettier and the house is full of artsy splashes and whimsical fun touches.
