Getting to Dominicalito, Costa Rica

Dominicalito is easier to reach than its unspoiled setting suggests. Sitting between Dominical and Uvita on the Central Pacific coast, it is a comfortable drive from San José and just minutes from the small regional airport at Quepos.

Flying in

Most international visitors fly into San José (SJO). From there, a short domestic hop with a regional carrier such as SANSA or Costa Rica Green Airways connects to Quepos (XQP), which is roughly a 35-minute drive from Dominicalito.

Liberia International Airport (LIR) is another entry point further north, though it is a longer road journey down the coast.

Approximate drive times

From Quepos Airport (XQP) the drive is around 35 minutes. From San José (SJO) plan on roughly 3.5 to 4 hours by car, and from Liberia (LIR) closer to 5 hours. These times are approximate and vary with traffic, weather, and road conditions.

A rental vehicle gives you the freedom to reach beaches, waterfalls, and the restaurants of Uvita and Dominical at your own pace, though private transfers are also widely available.

Base yourself at Casa Calma

Casa Calma is an ocean-view villa in Dominicalito, a short walk from surf and yoga and an easy drive from the waterfalls, whale-watching and restaurants of Dominical and Uvita.
