La Semilla Hostel

More than a hostel — a community. La Semilla is an artist-led hostel in the jungle of Uvita, run by a non-profit, where part of every stay funds local social and environmental projects. Sleep wrapped in rainforest, a 15-minute walk from the Whale Tail and Marino Ballena National Park. Our open-air rancho is where Uvita comes alive: on-site bar and restaurant, live music, DJ sets, fire shows, live painting and karaoke on a pro Electro-Voice sound system. Three hand-built bamboo-and-wood dorms (one air-conditioned) sleep up to 20 — perfect for solo travelers, groups and retreats. Included: complimentary breakfast, fast WiFi, a guest kitchen, private bathrooms, free parking, bikes to reach the beaches, and tour booking for Costa Rica's whole Southern Zone. Travel with purpose — join our beach clean-ups and tree-planting during your stay. Come as a traveler, leave as family.
