Coming Soon! Home & Lifestyle Goods in Uvita

Esencia Living Is Coming to Uvita

Something new is taking shape in Uvita.

Construction is officially underway on Esencia Living, our new home and lifestyle store created to bring thoughtfully selected, practical and harder-to-find products closer to home here in the Costa Ballena.

The window signage is up, shelves are on the way, inventory is arriving, and little by little, the space is beginning to look like the store we've been imagining.

We're getting ready to open our doors in October 2025, and we can't wait to welcome you inside.

A New Home & Lifestyle Store in Uvita

The idea behind Esencia Living comes from something many of us who live in Costa Rica's Southern Zone understand all too well:

Sometimes finding the simplest things isn't so simple.

A quality kitchen essential. Cotton bedding. A healthier household product. Something for a new baby. A beautiful piece for your home. A wellness product you've been searching for.

Too often, the options are to make the trip to San José, order internationally and wait, or simply settle for whatever happens to be available locally.

We think there should be another option.

Esencia Living is being created to bring a carefully curated selection of home, health and lifestyle products right here to Uvita.

Thoughtfully Selected for Life in Costa Rica

We're not trying to fill the store with everything.

We're looking for the right things.

Our shelves will include a changing collection of:

  • Kitchen and home essentials
  • Cookware and food storage
  • Cotton bedding and linens
  • Home décor
  • Health and wellness products
  • Baby and family essentials
  • Bath and body care
  • Sustainable and reusable products
  • Everyday lifestyle essentials
  • Hard-to-find imported goods

We're choosing products with real life in Costa Rica in mind—things that are useful, beautiful, durable and suited to the way we live here.

We're also paying attention to healthier and more conscious alternatives, from natural materials and stainless-steel cookware to glass food storage, lower-fragrance household products and reusable everyday essentials.

The Store Is Coming Together

Right now, there's a lot happening behind the scenes.

Construction is moving forward. Shelving is being planned and installed. Shipments are arriving. Boxes are piling up. Products are being unpacked, organized and given their place.

And with every step, Esencia Living is becoming a little more real.

We're creating a space that feels warm, simple and easy to shop—a place where you can discover something new, find something you've been searching for, or simply pick up a useful everyday item without driving hours to get it.

Created for the Costa Ballena Community

Although our store will be located in Uvita, we're creating Esencia for the wider Costa Ballena community—from Dominical and Uvita to Ojochal and the surrounding areas.

For families and homeowners.

For people setting up a new home in Costa Rica.

For vacation-rental and property owners looking for practical, quality essentials.

For new parents.

For people interested in wellness and more conscious living.

And for anyone who has ever thought, “I wish I could find that here.”

We hope Esencia becomes one of those places you think to check first.

Opening October 2025

We're thrilled to be opening on Calle Uvita, above the barber shop and across from EBAIS, right in the heart of Uvita.

There's still plenty to do before opening day, but it's happening—and we can't wait to show you what we're creating.

Over the coming weeks, we'll be sharing sneak peeks of the store, new arrivals, products we're excited about and more behind-the-scenes updates as everything comes together.

Esencia Living is coming to Uvita.

And finding beautiful, useful and thoughtfully selected things for life in Costa Rica is about to get a little easier.
