Honeymoon in Costa Rica: a nature-filled, romantic honeymoon

To celebrate a wedding, you dream of a trip that is exotic, intimate, and easy to live. Costa Rica ticks every box: breathtaking scenery, charming accommodations nestled in nature, reassuring safety, and a soothing way of life — the Pure life. Here's how to compose an unforgettable honeymoon.

Why choose Costa Rica for your honeymoon

Few destinations bring together so many contrasts in a single trip: waking up facing a volcano, walking through a cloud forest, then ending with sunsets on a deserted beach. All in intimate lodges often designed for couples, with real attention to detail. For an entirely gentle interlude, draw inspiration from our Serenity collection.

The most romantic experiences

• A soak in the hot springs at the foot of Arenal volcano, in the evening.
• A night in a design lodge perched in the canopy, waking to birdsong.
• A private dinner with your feet in the sand or deep in nature.
• A Pacific sunset, from a Guanacaste or Nicoya beach.
• Spa and massages for two, offered by many ecolodges.

A romantic twelve-day itinerary

So you don't spend your honeymoon on the road, limit the stops and favor comfort: a few nights at Arenal (volcano, hot springs, waterfall), an escape to the cloud forest, then five to six nights on a Pacific Coast to unwind. Need ideas for stops? Our example15-day itinerary lends itself very well to a pace for two.

Where to stay for a getaway for two

Costa Rica's strength is its charming hotels and ecolodges independent gems: small addresses with a view, private villas, lodges facing the volcano or the ocean. For the finest beaches to settle on, see our guide to the most beautiful beaches in Costa Rica.
