6 Things That Make Costa Rica a Bucket List Honeymoon Destination


When it comes to having a bucket list honeymoon, Costa Rica offers the whole

package. Romantic resorts, mountain climbing, water sports, beach activities

and surfing are just some of the exciting honeymoon features of this gem in

Central America.


Stunning Scenery in Every Direction


Costa Rica is renowned for its stunning natural beauty. The lush rainforests, incredible

waterfalls, and pristine beaches on Pacific and Caribbean coasts make the place an

ideal destination for romantic couples. (I hear the Jurrassic Park theme song playing)


An Adventure Seeker's Paradise


If you are an active and adventurous couple, then Costa Rica is for you, because this

country encourages eco-tourism, such as hiking, zip-lining white-water rafting, and

snorkeling. You can even try your hand at diving in vibrant coral reefs.


La Fortuna

La Fortuna is one of the prime honeymoon destinations in Costa Rica. It was the

destination where Eugene Levy went for episode 2 of “The Reluctant Traveler.”

The key highlights are:

  • Breathtaking natural beauty

  • Adventure activities

  • Relaxing hot springs

  • Unique accommodations (like the Nayara Tented Camp where Eugene Levy stayed).

La Fortuna is the ideal choice for couples seeking a romantic getaway. Enjoy hikes

around the volcano, soak in hot springs, and witness the mesmerizing lava flows (when

active).


Go zip-lining through the rainforest, rappelling down waterfalls, go on a thrilling

white-water rafting excursion, or take a canopy tour.

La Fortuna provides a perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and natural beauty for an

unforgettable honeymoon experience.


Guanacaste

Located in northwestern Costa Rica, Guanacaste is an excellent choice for a

honeymoon destination. Guanacaste stands apart for its

spot are

Costa Rica has a tropical climate, and December to April is generally considered the

More Reasons Why You Must Choose Costa Rica As Your Honeymoon Destination


Costa Rica is recognized as one of the happiest countries in the world according to the

Gallup World Index and the Happy Planet Index in 2011, 2012, and 2013. The

country's high levels of joy, health, and longevity are closely associated with the

concept of wellness, which plays a significant role in determining happiness.

You can find wellness in a wide range of activities.


Animal Sightings


True happiness can be experienced in the Monteverde cloud forest, where small

groups can embark on canopy bridge tours and enjoy a breathtaking aerial view of the

national park.


The rainforests of Costa Rica are home to more than 900 different bird species and a

diverse array of monkeys and sloths, making animal sightings an assured experience

and an opportunity for relaxation. It also helps reduce stress levels, allowing visitors to

enhance their overall sense of well-being.


Wellness Through Yoga and Meditation



Finding wellness through yoga has become quite popular in Costa Rica. You can relax

the mind and body through yoga sessions in Puerto Viejo’s Caribbean surroundings.

Rustic, open-air studios in the Playa Cocles village integrate into the Zen experience,

which allows vacationing yoga enthusiasts to have a relaxing time.


The Southern Pacific region of the country is establishing a leadership role in

promoting wellness activities. Surf camps and yoga teaching centers provide

accommodations, allowing enthusiasts to improve their hobbies. These havens,

surrounded by organic community gardens, offer a comprehensive wellness

experience, especially for those who visit Quepos, Uvita, Dominical, or Ojochal.

The options include enjoying guided meditations near waterfalls in Bajos del Toro,

indulging in a soothing massage at luxurious resorts, and snorkeling alongside the

diverse marine life in Cahuita National Park's coral reef.


Wellness Through Food


Food also plays an integral part in the wellness journey. Costa Ricans are experts in

creating delectable meals using the freshest ingredients, adhering to the farm-to-table

trend.


The local Central Market in San José offers a way to connect with the earth with a

vibrant assortment of locally grown fruits and vegetables. The weekend farmers'

markets throughout the country offer seasonal items. Local sodas (small takeout stands) offer daily menus that change every day to showcase the distinct flavors of

each region.
