Romantic Beach Resorts & Jungle Retreats
Luxury Jungle Lodges
Stay at Casa Luna Hotel & Spa — our go-to lodge for honeymooners in La Fortuna, Arenal. Private bungalows with direct volcano views, a spa, and a pool make it easy to do nothing at all. Or venture out for an evening at the Tabacón Hot Springs, where geothermal pools carved into the jungle sit right below Arenal's slopes. Most couples spend 2–3 nights here before heading to the coast.
Beachfront Paradise
Our most popular beach pairing is Margaritaville Beach Resort in Flamingo — an all-inclusive property on one of Guanacaste's whitest stretches of sand. All meals, drinks, and water activities are included. For couples who prefer something more intimate, we also work with boutique properties in Manuel Antonio and the Nicoya Peninsula — smaller, quieter, and closer to wildlife than the large resort corridor.
Combined Experiences
Our most popular Costa Rica luxury honeymoons itinerary combines volcano adventure in Arenal with beach relaxation in Guanacaste—the best of both worlds in one unforgettable romantic Costa Rica getaway.

What's the best time of year for a Costa Rica honeymoon?
The best time for a Costa Rica honeymoon is the dry season (December – April) for guaranteed sunshine and clear skies—perfect for beach weddings and outdoor adventure. For couples seeking more privacy and better value, the green season (May – November) offers lush, tropical landscapes. We especially recommend July and August for a "mini-summer" that provides a perfect balance of great weather, fewer crowds, and vibrant scenery.
What are the best honeymoon destinations in Costa Rica?
Costa Rica offers several distinct regions perfect for honeymooners, each with its own character. Arenal is our most popular choice — the iconic volcano, thermal hot springs, and lush rainforest create an intensely romantic atmosphere, especially at sunrise from a private plunge pool villa. Guanacaste and the Papagayo Peninsula offer world-class beach resorts with dry, sunny weather and stunning Pacific sunsets. Manuel Antonio combines a beautiful beach with one of Costa Rica's most visited national parks — ideal for couples who love wildlife and nature walks. Monteverde's cloud forest is magical for adventurous couples who want something truly different. Most of our honeymoon packages combine two regions, pairing Arenal volcano with a beach destination for the perfect contrast of jungle and coast.
