Advance Booking Recommended: While Playa Uva offers a more secluded experience, especially during popular Venezuelan holidays, booking your accommodation in advance is highly recommended to ensure availability, particularly for the exclusive villas.
Getting There: The most common way to reach the Playa Uva area is by flying into Maturín (José Tadeo Monagas International Airport - MUN) or Barcelona (José Antonio Anzoátegui International Airport - BLA). From either airport, you'll typically need to arrange ground transportation (private taxi or pre-booked transfer) to reach the Paria Peninsula and then specifically Playa Uva. The drive can take several hours and offers scenic views. Consider coordinating transfers with your chosen hotel.
Accommodation Choices: Playa Uva primarily features boutique hotels and exclusive villas, emphasizing privacy and connection with nature. Research and book your preferred option well in advance, as the number of accommodations is limited compared to larger resort areas. Consider options like Hotel Playa de Uva or the VIP Villas for their unique charm and amenities.
What to Pack: Pack for a tropical beach destination. Include lightweight and breathable clothing, swimwear, comfortable walking shoes for exploring nearby trails, sandals or flip-flops for the beach, a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, high SPF sunscreen, and insect repellent. A light rain jacket might be useful, especially during the rainy season (though the Caribbean coast of Venezuela tends to be drier).
Currency and Payments: While some establishments might accept US dollars, it is highly advisable to bring Venezuelan Bolivars (VES) for smaller expenses, local vendors, and in case of limited card processing capabilities. ATMs may be available in larger towns like Carúpano or Río Caribe, but reliability can vary, so plan accordingly and exchange currency beforehand.

Pack a basic first-aid kit with essentials like pain relievers, antiseptic wipes, and any personal medications. Be mindful of sun exposure and stay hydrated.
