Frequently asked questions

How much does a beach hotel in Uvita cost?
Prices for beach hotels in Uvita vary, but you can find a great deal from £28 on Expedia. You're likely to find lower rates if you're travelling during the off-peak season or mid-week. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.
Which area of Uvita is best to stay in for beaches?
For direct access to Uvita's best beaches, the best area to stay is along the coastal strip near Marino Ballena National Park, particularly around Playa Uvita.

This area is defined by its proximity to the park's main entrance and the famous "Whale's Tail" sandbar. Accommodations here are often set back slightly from the beach in lush gardens, providing a peaceful environment. You'll find a selection of boutique hotels and lodges, many with pools, just a short walk or drive from the sand.

Couples seeking a romantic and relaxed beach holiday will find this area ideal. You can easily spend your days lounging on the sand, swimming in the warm Pacific waters, or exploring the unique geological formation of the Whale's Tail during low tide. The hotels here often cater to a more discerning clientele, offering amenities like spa services and private nature tours.

Families will also appreciate the convenience of staying near Playa Uvita. The gentle waves at the beach are suitable for children, and many hotels offer family-friendly rooms or bungalows.
How can I save on a beach hotel in Uvita with Expedia?
One Key™ —Expedia's free travel rewards programme—gives you instant access to perks and Member Prices on Uvita beach hotels. Plus, you'll earn OneKeyCash™* on eligible bookings to use on future trips. Typically, booking in advance will help you save on your hotel booking. But, if you're feeling spontaneous, check out the last-minute deals.

What beach activities should we do in Uvita?
The best beach activities to do in Uvita include exploring the Marino Ballena National Park, particularly the "Whale's Tail" sandbar, and enjoying the water through activities like snorkelling or paddleboarding.

The "Whale's Tail" at Marino Ballena National Park is Uvita's most iconic natural feature. This unique sand and rock formation, visible during low tide, stretches out into the Pacific Ocean and truly resembles a whale's tail. It's an ideal spot for couples who enjoy long, scenic walks along the beach, offering stunning views and a chance to see various marine life in the tide pools.

For those who love being in the water, the calm bays within the national park are superb for snorkelling and paddleboarding. The clear waters allow you to observe colourful fish and coral formations. Many local operators offer guided tours, making it easy for families to rent equipment and get instruction, ensuring everyone can enjoy the ocean responsibly.

Beyond the "Whale's Tail," the beaches in Uvita, such as Playa Uvita and Playa Hermosa, are excellent for relaxing, sunbathing, and swimming.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a beach hotel in Uvita as a package?
Booking a beach hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking a beach vacation package well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my beach hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right beach hotel in Uvita for you.
