Fall in love with the beauty of Costa Rica with a romantic escape that promises adventure, relaxation and wild tropical vistas in one of the world’s safest and happiest nations.
A luxury holiday to Costa Rica marries the two must-see places in the country: the jungle and the beach. Explore tailor made holidays to Costa Rica, and you can choose to spend twelve days exploring the soul of this Central American treasure as you journey from the coffee-cultivated Central Valley to the tropical Pacific Coast. Your holiday will start in Alajuela province, home to Costa Rican icon Volcán Arenal, a near-perfect steaming cone that dominates its namesake national park. You’ll ease into the slipstream of the country’s pura vida philosophy with a couple of chilled days in Alajuela, before travelling north. Fly over the rugged Cordillera de Guanacaste mountain range on a private helicopter flight and stay in Bijagua, a tiny village that’s the launchpad for a big Costa Rican adventure. Explore the wetlands of Caño Negro National Wildlife Refuge and waterfall-striped Tenorio Volcano National Park in search of pumas, tapirs, sloths, giant butterflies and rare plants like wild orchids. Experience Costa Rica’s enthralling natural beauty with special moments like bathing in a volcanic mud bath and under cooling waterfalls.
Romance reaches its peak with a private dinner for two created by Michelin-starred chef Jean-Luc L’Hourre, and a private-guided stargazing hike, where you will appreciate the different side of nature under the moonlight. Closing out your romantic sojourn, you’ll head to the emerald-coated Papagayo Peninsula, a hidden corner of Costa Rica where you’ll spend one-to-one time in the seclusion of a stylish tented suite, right on the sandy doorstep on the peninsula’s unblemished beaches. Throughout your Costa Rican adventure, you’ll see stunning landscapes, get to know the heritage of the country and enjoy the unparalleled hospitality of the people.
Whether you’re looking for beach holidays in Costa Rica or a luxury honeymoon in Costa Rica, there is something for everyone.
Experience highlights

- Stay in one of Costa Rica’s most eye-popping tropical surroundings, the Papagayo Peninsula, with two nights in Kasiiya’s award-winning luxury tented suites dotted among little coves and shimmering emerald-green waters.
- Punta Gorda is one of the best snorkelling and dive areas around the Papagayo Peninsula. Swim alongside green sea turtles and spotted eagle rays, or kayak from Laguna Beach to Portuguese Beach with Tenorio Volcano in the distance.
