Costa Rica offers plenty of breathtaking landscapes, from tropical rainforests to ancient volcanic mountains. Couples in love will also appreciate the wide range of romantic accommodations and vacation packages that Costa Rica has to offer, as well as the variety of things to do together (or on your own) throughout your trip. Below are some of the best places to honeymoon in Costa Rica so you can start planning your very own Costa Rica honeymoon!
Arenal Volcano Hot Springs
If there’s one thing that unites honeymooners it’s their love of good food. A trip to Arenal Volcano Hot Springs is a great way for adventurous newlyweds to combine these two favorite pastimes. The site features a collection of private pools and Jacuzzi’s, as well as trails that lead through lush rain forest and past crystal-clear lakes. Of course, adventure travel often means eating like your ancestors did—so if you’re up for cooking, you can rent a kitchen or grill outdoors with other guests. Otherwise, you can check out nearby restaurants within walking distance. Don’t forget your camera—the surrounding volcanoes are beautiful, especially at sunset!
Tortuguero National Park
Located on a stretch of Caribbean coast, Tortuguero National Park is an excellent destination for those looking for beautiful beaches and relaxing surroundings. The park’s territory has been inhabited by humans since about 4500 BC, making it one of the oldest continually inhabited regions in Central America. It features two mangrove forests as well as unique flora and fauna—for example, over 130 species of birds can be found here. Although tourism is relatively new here, travelers are still getting word that Tortuguero National Park is a fantastic place to spend some time away from it all; they report its beaches are some of the most beautiful they’ve ever seen.
Santa Rosa National Park
Whether you’re thinking of a beachfront honeymoon or a nature lover’s retreat, it’s hard to beat Santa Rosa National Park. Part of Corcovado National Park, Santa Rosa protects one of Costa Rica’s most famous tourist attractions: Manuel Antonio Beach. Here you’ll find green monkeys swinging from trees, bright-green poison dart frogs hiding among ferns and towering trees, and exotic birds flitting through branches. But there are also some lovely beaches for sunbathing—although if you’re planning on dropping your partner’s jaw with your sensual dance moves at night, we suggest bringing someone else along for help (like a Go Pro). Book early because accommodations here tend to sell out well in advance.

Since they’re air passes, you can fly whenever you want. They’re much cheaper than other tickets that require a specific flight time, so it gives you more freedom when traveling. Some of them come with free hotel stays and sometimes even free car rentals for up to 24 hours. Each pass is different, so make sure you check before purchasing because each airline has different details about their pass offerings. Be aware that some passes include flights operated by partners like Virgin America or American Airlines (if traveling on Air Canada); others don’t. Take note of cancellation policies as well—some airlines will give a refund if flights are cancelled within 24 hours of purchase while others won’t refund your money at all or charge extra fees if purchased within 48 hours of departure.
Nature Airline Passes
As one of the top honeymoon destinations in Central America. You’ll find numerous travel packages available that let you explore from afar. This is another great way to save money while still experiencing some of Costa Rica’s most popular attractions. The Nature Airline Pass is a particularly good option for those who wish to visit various parts of Costa Rica without investing large amounts of money on flights. If you want more freedom than a package tour but less than having your own rental car. Airplane travel passes can be ideal for honeymooners who want to see as much of their destination as possible without paying an arm and a leg.
