Featuring wildlife, waterfalls, and plenty of spas, this is a private getaway that is designed just for two.
Customizable Itinerary
Day 1
Guanacaste – Beach Escape
After flying into Liberia’s International Airport, you will be met by a local guide for the short transfer to Guanacaste, which is Costa Rica’s Pacific beach hangout. Your suite will be perched above the sand and will feature a private plunge pool with Pacific views. As the sky turns purple and pink, you will cruise in the wind to explore some calm Pacific Ocean waters. This is an afternoon for popping a cork and toasting to yourselves while Costa Rica’s colors lead you on a journey through all the hues and shades. Most couples prefer to sail on the wind, but you can choose for the captain to use the motor, which allows you to cover more of the coastline.

Detailed Description
Romantic Costa Rica vacations are all about the location. You can always find space to be alone in this country of wild nature and breathtaking vistas, but no two destinations have the same allure. In Guanacaste, you can lounge on quiet Pacific beaches, which is where the water sparkles and the sand is soft beneath your feet. Bijagua is backdropped by Tenorio Volcano, which is a landscape for vibrant adventure and jumping into pools. La Fortuna is famous as Costa Rica’s adventure capital and is where you will rest in private hot springs after a day with wildlife and cloud forest.
Then, you will marvel at Catarata del Toro, which is a 270-foot waterfall that cascades down into an extinct volcanic crater deep in the rainforest. These destinations may have found some fame on Instagram, but they remain wonderfully secluded. You will be sleeping in spa lodges that are located along blissful rivers or in the ancient cloud forest. There will be couple’s treatments and all the seclusion that is necessary for an amorous vacation. For most of these eight days, you can be alone amid Costa Rica’s nature deep inside landscapes, which insist that you relax and slow down. Yes, Costa Rica has volcanos, ziplines, and a sense of adventure, but at heart, it is a country where you can relax and unwind.
The call is Pure Vida here, which translates “pure life” in Spanish. That is what it will feel like as you explore the country’s special landscapes. Few countries can make you feel as alive while simultaneously encouraging you to take it easy. Every transfer and activity will be privately guided, and all of your accommodations have been handpicked to maximize romance. You will stay at a lodge with waterfalls on its own property before indulging in the private hot springs that are near Arenal Volcano. There will even be an old-world brunch in San Jose before you depart Costa Rica after eight days that have been defined by intimate moments.
