Romance, with a sense of adventure
Private couples' trips through Central America, South America, Mexico and the Caribbean, planned around your occasion, interests, accommodation, and pace.
Where romance meets adventure
Proposals and elopements, babymoons and vow renewals, anniversaries and long-overdue getaways for two – you only get the chance to celebrate your milestone once, and we're here to help you do it right. Maybe that's a surprise proposal on a hanging bridge high above Costa Rica's Arenal rainforest, an anniversary toast among the vines in Mendoza as the Andes glow pink at sunset, or a candlelit dinner on a rooftop in Cartagena's old walled city. Sigh.
Intimate hotels, private pools & coastal hideaways
Shared adventures through forests, deserts, mountains & reefs
Vineyard lunches, local kitchens & evenings with a view
A starting point for your perfect escape
We're good company, and we give great advice
A photographer hidden in the trees, a private dinner on the sand, champagne waiting in your room. Tell us the plan, and we'll make it happen.
The villa facing the jungle beats the one facing the spa path. We'll steer you to the room worth paying for.
Book through us and you'll often get extras like breakfast, a room upgrade when available, or a welcome bottle, for little to nothing more than booking direct.
We even left a swimsuit in the first hotel in San Jose and [Osaviva] somehow summoned a group of pigeons to get it delivered to the next hotel in La Fortuna before we arrived.
The perfect honeymoon
They spent well over an hour getting to know us and our expectations for the perfect honeymoon before sending 4-5 itineraries to choose from.
Unique options
When comparing to other plans from companies we found they had unique options to stay on and they were priced very competitively.
A secret proposal
Adrienne provided my fiancée and I with the perfect itinerary, ideal for a secret proposal.
Our top picks
Manuel Antonio
Hidden within the rainforest above Manuel Antonio, Makanda by the Sea is an adults-only retreat where contemporary villas and suites are scattered across a steep jungle hillside. Elevated walkways connect the accommodations with infinity pools and a secluded cove below, while monkeys, sloths, and toucans are frequent visitors. It's an ideal place for honeymooners and couples.
Costa Rica
La Fortuna
Adults-only Nayara Springs occupies a quiet corner of the Nayara estate beneath Arenal Volcano. Every villa includes a private, mineral-fed plunge pool surrounded by rainforest, with hanging bridges linking guests to the restaurants, spa, and facilities across all three Nayara properties. It's the most private of the Nayara collection while still giving guests access to everything the resort has to offer.
Costa Rica
Ambergris Caye
North of San Pedro, Matachica stretches along a quiet section of Ambergris Caye where colorful casitas sit between tropical gardens and the Caribbean. The adults-only resort feels relaxed rather than formal, with the Belize Barrier Reef just offshore and golf carts replacing cars. It's an easy place to slow down without feeling isolated from the island.
Belize
Private Island
Reached by a short boat ride from San Pedro, Cayo Espanto is an island built entirely around privacy. With only seven villas, every stay is tailored around the individual guest rather than a fixed resort schedule. Each villa includes its own dock or plunge pool, along with a private butler and meals prepared to your preferences throughout the day.
Belize
Holbox
At the quieter end of Holbox, Nômade spreads treehouses, tents, and suites between mangroves and the Gulf of Mexico. Organic architecture and wellness programming reflect the island’s slower pace, with the beach immediately beyond the property.
Mexico
Lake Atitlán
Bright blues, handcrafted Guatemalan textiles, and contemporary local art have become the signature of Casa Palopó overlooking Lake Atitlán. Fifteen individually designed rooms and a private villa face the lake and its surrounding volcanoes, while Relais & Châteaux dining has earned the hotel a reputation as one of Guatemala's finest culinary destinations.
Guatemala
San Pedro de Atacama
Awasi Atacama places 12 circular adobe suites around a private courtyard in central San Pedro. Every suite receives a private guide and four-wheel-drive vehicle, allowing desert days to be planned entirely around individual interests, pace, and altitude.
Chile
Gulf of Chiriquí
Fourteen private islands in Panama's Gulf of Chiriquí form the setting for Islas Secas, one of Central America's most exclusive island retreats. Just eight casitas accommodate a maximum of 24 guests across an otherwise undeveloped archipelago, where protected rainforest and marine habitats remain the focus. Whale watching, world-class fishing, diving, and wildlife encounters all take place within one of Panama's most important marine reserves.

When we plan a trip
Slow mornings in the canopy
Wake to birdsong and filtered sunlight as the forest stirs around you. From your hillside suite, slip into a private plunge pool overlooking the canopy. Far from crowds, time slows and nature becomes a backdrop to something quieter, something just for two.
Golden hour on the water
Drift along golden coastlines as the sun slips beneath the sea. Whether it's a catamaran in the Caribbean or a wooden sailboat on a mountain lake, a private cruise offers space to exhale, toast to the moment, and watch the world shift from day to dusk.
Stillness, shared
Unwind with side-by-side massages in an open-air treatment room or soak in volcanic thermal springs surrounded by forest. From sunrise yoga to moonlit soaks, these moments of stillness offer restoration and quiet connection.
No footprints but yours
Arrive by boat or by foot to a beach with no footprints but your own. A blanket is spread, wine chilled, and time feels endless. Swim, sunbathe, and linger until the light begins to soften and the tide begins to rise.
Under an open sky
In the highlands or by the sea, the sky opens wide. Lay back on warm sand or curl into a blanket on a private deck and watch the constellations turn. Some places make you feel wonderfully small together.
A table for two
Beneath the stars on a private catamaran, beside a jungle waterfall, or on a terrace above a colonial town. Local flavors, flickering candlelight, and no one else in sight.
The things couples ask us most, from honeymoon timing to the most romantic places to stay. Have a question we haven't covered? Send it to
For beaches and downtime: the Belize cayes, Mexico's Pacific and Caribbean coasts, or the Caribbean islands. For culture and food: Peru, Mexico City or Buenos Aires. For wine: Mendoza or Chile's Colchagua Valley.
Yes, we love helping with proposals! Tell us when you book, and we'll plan around the timing, the setting and any extras like a photographer or private dinner.
Plenty, especially in Mexico and the Caribbean. Many smaller lodges also set a minimum age for guests.
Check with your doctor first, as well as your airline's cut-off for flying while pregnant. Read the current health advice on mosquito-borne illnesses for pregnant travelers, since it varies by country.
A week suits one or two places. Ten days or more lets you pair an inland stop with a few days on the beach.
Many are. Same-sex marriage is legal in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador and Mexico, and Buenos Aires and Mexico City have big LGBTQ+ scenes. Attitudes in rural areas can be more conservative.
