Honeymoon in Costa Rica
Blessed with paradise beaches and endless adventures, a honeymoon in Costa Rica is the perfect choice for thrill seekers…
Why Go
A pioneer of eco-friendly travel, a honeymoon in Costa Rica is one of the best choices for sustainable luxury and adventure. This lush land of volcanoes, rivers and rainforests is made for couples who love the outdoors.
Most couples begin in San José or Liberia – perfect gateways to explore the country’s cloud forests, beaches and national parks.
Spend a day discovering San José’s Central Market and sampling Costa Rica’s world-famous coffee before heading into nature.
In Monteverde, zipline through jungle canopies or wander the Sky Walk’s hanging bridges. In La Fortuna, at the base of Arenal Volcano, go whitewater rafting, swim in waterfalls, or soak in natural hot springs.
On the Pacific Coast, unwind in Manuel Antonio National Park, where rainforest meets white sand beaches. Stay nearby in Quepos or head north to Tamarindo for surf, sunsets and boutique resorts. Bohemian beach towns like Nosara and Santa Teresa offer yoga, wellness and romance in equal measure. From Marino Ballena National Park, go whale watching from December to March and July to October.
The Caribbean Coast has its own rhythm. Snorkel coral reefs at Cahuita National Park, watch sea turtles nest at Tortuguero, or relax with a coconut cocktail in Puerto Viejo de Talamanca.
Wherever you go, you’ll feel Costa Rica’s “Pura Vida” spirit – a way of life that celebrates nature, kindness and slow, joyful living.

Best time to go: The best time to honeymoon in Costa Rica is from December to April, when conditions are drier and sunnier. The rainy season runs from May to October, bringing short but heavy downpours, often followed by sunshine. While Costa Rica is generally outside the hurricane belt, it’s best to avoid late August to late October, when rainfall is heaviest. The Caribbean coast has a different weather pattern and can experience rain year-round – often sunnier in Sep–Oct when the Pacific is at its wettest.
How long to stay: We recommend at least 10 to 14 nights for a honeymoon in Costa Rica. This allows time to recover from travel, explore multiple regions, enjoy outdoor adventures, and unwind in nature. The ideal duration will depend on your pace and budget, but 14 nights is perfect for balancing adventure and relaxation.
