The Philosophy

Named after the Japanese philosophy of finding beauty in imperfection — a place where the rawness of the Costa Ricans Caribbean coast becomes the luxury. Barefoot floors. Open air. Unhurried days.

“Beauty in imperfection.Luxury in stillness.”

Wabi Sabi Residences — where jungle meets Caribbean sea

The Experience

Where jungle meets oceanWhere time slows down

Punta Uva holds one of the Caribbean's last truly wild coastlines. Here, the rainforest grows to the water's edge, and each morning greets you with birdsong, salt air, and stillness.

Wabi Sabi Residences — relaxing in a hammock

Our Story

A place designed
for stillness

Wabi Sabi Residences is not a hotel. It is a living space — crafted from natural materials, shaped by the rhythms of the Caribbean coast, and built around the belief that true luxury is presence, not excess.

Perched directly in front of Arrecife beach, each residence opens to the sound of waves and the scent of the jungle. Privacy is absolute. Design is intentional.

Every stay is personal. Here is what our guests share after a few days between the jungle and the sea.

Anton and Channel welcomed us in beautifully, felt their amazing energy from day 1 booking the trip. They made sure we have everything we needed and you could sense in the space that they gave so much thought to making sure you have everything you needed. The space is stunning, the location is absolutely unbeatable. You can hear the waves from bed. Highly recommend and we will definitely come back!

Best place to stay in the PV area by far! So beautiful. Right on the beach. Punta Uva area / Arrecife is really idyllic. Like a dream!

A little slice of heaven. We loved our five days at Anton and Shannel’s place. The setting is beautiful and the design of the house is stunning. Anton was proactive and welcoming from the moment we arrived and checked on us after a big storm moved through. We would love to go back.

We had an absolutely outstanding stay. The views were beautiful, the home was spotless, and the location was perfect for exploring the area. Anton went above and beyond with truly some of the best recommendations for food and activities — we loved every single one. We had such a fabulous time and genuinely didn’t want to leave.

A slice of paradise, what a gem. The entire property is a designer’s dream. Anton and Shanelle are truly the friendliest, most welcoming couple. Felt like home. Ideally situated across from Punta Uva beach. Beautiful laid back vibe.

We spent 11 days at Wabi Sabi for our honeymoon. It was perfect! Anton is the nicest guy — was constantly checking in if we needed anything. Would recommend this place to anyone!

Could not speak more highly of our stay with Anton and Shannel at Wabi Sabi. The place had everything we needed and was set in a lovely, peaceful location, right next to the beach.

Wabi Sabi exceeded our expectations in every way. The accommodations lack nothing, the location is wonderful, and the hospitality is unforgettable. Waking up to howler monkeys in the morning, walking just a few steps to the beautiful beach. Wabi Sabi is one of those rare places that simply feels special. If you have a chance — visit this piece of paradise. You won’t be sorry you did.

This place was a true home away of home. Very suitable for long term stays! Just across the beach where we saw sloths hanging around in the trees every day. Best shower (!), best kitchen with programmable coffee machine, so you wake up to coffee. Everything is of best quality. Cherry on top is the hosts and their super sweet Chihuahua, who treated us like family. We will be back!

Absolutely gorgeous place and great stay! Anton is the most attentive and welcoming host we have encountered on our travels through CR, and we are lucky to have found Wabi Sabi, he has thoughtfully put together a cozy paradisiac hideout.

We had an incredible stay at Wabi Sabi Residences and couldn’t recommend it more highly. The location is absolutely perfect, just steps across from Punta Uva beach. One of our favorite features was the private courtyard, which was a great place to relax as a family when we weren’t at the beach. Highly recommend staying here if you’re visiting the Punta Uva area!

Wabi Sabi is the perfect retreat. It’s located in Arrecife, which happens to have one of the most gorgeous beaches in the area. The bed is comfortable and the AC is a huge plus for the hot Caribbean days. Loved the private little yard and beautiful garden. The hosts were easy to communicate with and surprised us with a bottle of wine on arrival. Thank you!

Wabi Sabi was so beautiful, accommodating and comfortable. We felt right at home, and got to sleep right next to the nicest beach on the Caribbean coast! Anton and Shannel were wonderful hosts too.

Es war traumhaft! Nicht nur das Appartement ist toll, auch die Besitzer sind sehr nett. Es fehlt einfach an nichts, vom Regenschirm bis zum Strandtuch, sowie eine gut ausgestellte Küche (mit scharfen Messern). Man hat einen wunderschönen privaten Garten, wo man in Ruhe Kolibris beobachten kann. Alles in allem war dies eines der schönsten Appartements, das wir jemals besucht haben!
