Whether you're celebrating your honeymoon, an anniversary, or just the fact that you deserve an unforgettable escape together- Costa Rica delivers. This is a destination where wild adventure meets barefoot luxury, and where every moment can be curated just for the two of you.
Here’s a glimpse of what a truly elevated couple’s getaway to Costa Rica can look like, designed with intention, comfort, and connection in mind.
Effortless Arrival with VIP Touches
You’ll fly into Liberia International Airport (LIR), where your trip starts with ease (no shuttles, no chaos). Instead, a private deluxe SUV transfer is waiting just for the two of you, complete with chilled towels and water. It’s a small upgrade that instantly shifts the tone: you’re not on just any trip, you’re on your trip.
In just 30 scenic minutes, you’ll arrive at your home for the week
Stay: Secrets Papagayo
An Adults-Only Retreat on the Coast
Tucked into a lush hillside overlooking the Gulf of Papagayo, Secrets Papagayo offers the best of both worlds: serenity, privacy, and easy access to adventure.
Why my couples love it:
Spacious, romantic suites- many with private terraces and ocean views
Adults-only, all-inclusive luxury with à la carte dining and no wristbands
Quiet beaches, multiple pools, and intimate service
An award-winning spa overlooking the Pacific Ocean
Whether you’re sipping a cocktail in your cabana or sneaking away for a couple’s massage with the sound of waves in the background, the vibe is laid-back luxe.
Explore: Full-Day Private Adventure in the Wild
Let’s make sure you don’t just see Costa Rica, you feel it.
I’ll arrange a full-day guided experience to one of the nearby national parks or tropical forests, customized to your comfort and curiosity. You’ll travel in private transport with a local guide who knows how to spot the wildlife you’d miss on your own.
Wildlife you could encounter:
Howler monkeys swinging in the canopy
Sloths lounging in the treetops
Colorful toucans and scarlet macaws
Coatis, iguanas, and maybe even a sleepy tree frog
Butterflies and hummingbirds in brilliant color
Along the way, enjoy a locally prepared lunch and a stop at a waterfall or natural hot springs, because a little “wow” should be part of the plan.
Thrill: Ziplining Through the Tropical Forest
For a rush of adrenaline and unbelievable views, I can arrange a private or small-group zipline canopy tour through Costa Rica’s lush landscape. It’s one of those “we did that together” moments couples talk about for years.
Don’t worry- it’s perfectly safe, guide-led, and filled with Instagram-worthy backdrops. For those who want even more, we can combine it with hanging bridges or a volcanic mud bath afterward.
Unwind: Spa Moments by the Ocean
After a day in the treetops or on the trails, it's time to slow things down.
Secrets Papagayo’s spa offers couples’ treatments in private ocean-view cabanas, from tropical body wraps to deep tissue massages with the sound of the surf in the background. It’s the kind of indulgence that feels even better because you earned it.
