Costa Rican Honeymoon

Upon arriving in San José, you’ll be warmly welcomed and transferred to Amor Arenal, a luxurious boutique retreat nestled at the edge of the lush rainforest near the iconic Arenal Volcano. This secluded haven offers breathtaking views, elegantly designed accommodations, and an atmosphere of tranquility that makes it the perfect base to explore the natural beauty of Costa Rica.

During your stay, experience the thrill of white-water rafting on the class II-III rapids of the Balsa River. This half-day adventure is perfect for those seeking excitement, as you navigate the rapids amidst stunning rainforest scenery under the guidance of expert instructors. After the adrenaline-filled journey, relax and soak in the peaceful ambiance of an isolated rainforest river pool, surrounded by the soothing sounds of nature.

For a slower-paced adventure, embark on The Original Sloth Tour. Costa Rica is home to two species of sloths, and this experience allows you to observe these fascinating creatures in their natural habitat. With the guidance of a knowledgeable expert, you’ll explore lesser-known areas rich with wildlife, spotting sloths and other unique rainforest animals along the way. This immersive wildlife experience is a must for nature enthusiasts and photographers alike.

After your daily excursions, unwind at Amor Arenal’s infinity-edge pools or indulge in a spa treatment inspired by the natural surroundings. Evenings can be spent enjoying gourmet, farm-to-table cuisine at the resort’s restaurant, where fresh, locally sourced ingredients are paired with spectacular views of the volcano and rainforest.

After your adventures in Arenal, your journey continues to the stunning Rio Perdido Hotel, where you’ll spend two tranquil nights immersed in Costa Rica’s unique natural beauty. This secluded eco-lodge is surrounded by pristine forest and offers a serene retreat, perfect for relaxation and rejuvenation.

 At Rio Perdido, you can unwind in thermal river pools fed by natural hot springs or take in the breathtaking scenery from the hotel’s elevated walkways and decks. Enjoy the property’s peaceful atmosphere, indulge in gourmet meals inspired by local flavors, and savor the quiet moments of connecting with nature.

 Whether you choose to enjoy a morning coffee with a view of the forest, take a leisurely walk on the surrounding trails, or soak in the thermal waters, Rio Perdido offers the ideal space to reflect and unwind.

For the final leg of your Costa Rican adventure, you’ll stay at the Andaz Peninsula Papagayo Resort, a serene retreat overlooking the sapphire waters of Culebra Bay. Designed by renowned Costa Rican architect Ronald Zurcher, the resort blends modern luxury with the natural beauty of its surroundings, offering a tranquil space to unwind.

 The Andaz Peninsula Papagayo reflects Costa Rica’s “Pura Vida” lifestyle, providing a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Guests can enjoy two secluded beaches, two swimming pools (including an adults-only infinity pool), and a variety of on-site dining options. Complimentary paddleboards, snorkeling gear, and kayaks are available to explore the bay, and a range of excursions—such as ziplining, horseback riding, and visits to nearby hot springs—can be arranged for those seeking adventure.

 Your featured experience here is Catamaran Sailing with Snorkeling, where you’ll glide along Costa Rica's Pacific Coast past stunning bays, golden beaches, and tropical jungles. Keep an eye out for dolphins, sea turtles, and whales as you sail. The trip includes a stop in a secluded bay, perfect for snorkeling or kayaking in the crystal-clear waters.
