I greeted the millennium sunrise in Costa Rica and I have fond memories of lush rainforest canopies, awesome surf beaches, volcanic craters with vivid green lakes and rustic hideaways. These days the accommodation is more sophisticated with boutique hotels and stunning eco lodges. With such diversity, a three-centre honeymoon would be my recommendation.

A honeymoon in Costa Rica will intoxicate you with its astonishing and colourful wildlife, pristine rainforest and glorious sandy beaches.
We’ve created the dream 12-day luxury Costa Rica honeymoon adventure which has all the ingredients for a lifetime’s memories. You’ll experience the very best – and most romantic – places from luxury hotels to incredible activities, with plenty of time to simply relax.
Kick off with a stay at Finca Rosa Blanca. Located in a coffee plantation in the heart of Costa Rica’s central valley, this is the perfect boutique hotel – charming, relaxed and intimate. Simply soak up the views or head out to explore the Braulio Carillo National Park.
The Costa Rican rainforest is a must-see and your stay at Pacuare Lodge takes you right into the heart of it. Arrive by 4×4 or via a 1.5hr white-water rafting trip down the Pacuare River – what a start to your stay. You’ll be mesmerised by the calls of exotic birds and wildlife. Have a go at zip-lining, go horse-riding or take an adventure tour through the tree canopy – you can even stay in the unique Canopy Honeymoon Suite.
The next three nights, on the pristine Osa Peninsula, are based at the award-winning eco-lodge, Lapa Rios. There’s a beach and virgin rainforest on your doorstep, with an orchestra of macaws, toucans and howler monkeys.
Your last stop is the Arenas del Mar; we love its location, bang on a golden sand beach adjacent to the spectacular Manuel Antonio National Park. The seafood here is second to none and we can’t think of a better place to spend the final five nights of your honeymoon.
Prices start at £2,850 per person.
If this itinerary doesn’t suit you, we can tailor make virtually any honeymoon – we’re knowledgeable, flexible and know Costa Rica inside out.
