We are Virginie and Pascal, a French couple who settled in Costa Rica with our son. We created Shelter from there Storm Villas as a place where the beauty of nature is complemented by warm and attentive hospitality.
We enjoy welcoming guests from all mover the world, introducing them to this extraordinary region and helping them create a stay that truly suits them. We remain available whenever they need advice or assistance booking an activity, while fully respecting their peace and privacy.
Why they chose this property
We chose this location for its rare balance of nature, tranquility and convenience. The property lies between Dominical and Uvita, surrounded by tropical vegetation and overlooking the Pacific, yet remains just minutes from beaches, restaurants and shops.
What we love most is the diversity of the area : watching wildlife, discovering waterfalls, enjoying the ocean or simply admiring the sunset over Uvita Bay. Here, every day offers a new way to experience the natural beauty of Costa Rica.
What makes this property unique
Shelter from the Storm is a private 12,000 m² property where every space has been designed to preserve privacy and offer a genuine immersion in nature.
Sol-E-Mar opens onto the Pacific, with spectacular views of Uvita Bay, the famous Whale’s Tail and, in the distance, Corcovado.
The house stands out for its generous proportions, natural materials, hand-carved features and private infinity pool. Beyond the villa, guests can explore the tropical and Exotic gardens, private waterfall, rancho and several peaceful spaces overlooking the ocean.
Wildlife is part of the experience: monkeys, toucans, macaws, hummingbirds, sloths and many other animals may be spotted depending on the season. This unique combination of comfort, character, privacy and nature is what makes the property so special.
