Why travel with Osaviva?
A stay to linger in
Choose a rainforest villa with a private pool or a quiet coastal suite. We compare privacy, views and room layouts, and leave time to enjoy the place you’re staying.
Adventure at your own pace
A morning in the forest can leave an afternoon open for a swim or lunch that runs late. We plan fewer stops and manageable transfers, with room for both of your interests.
We had an incredible experience with [Osaviva]! Adrienne and her team planned an amazing trip to Costa Rica, ensuring every detail was perfectly organized. The hotels were great, transportation was always on time, and the entire itinerary ran smoothly. Communication with Adrienne was seamless both before and during the trip, making everything stress-free. We truly appreciated the personalized service and attention to detail. Highly recommend [Osaviva] for a well-planned and hassle-free adventure!
Before we arrived
★★★★★
We even left a swimsuit in the first hotel in San Jose and she somehow summoned a group of pigeons to get it delivered to the next hotel in La Fortuna before we arrived.
Getting to know us
★★★★★
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.
The perfect honeymoon
★★★★★
Adrienne planned the perfect honeymoon for us. We were overwhelmed with the thought of planning it ourselves and put it off for years.
honeymoon resorts in Costa Rica
Our favorite honeymoon stays
Casa Chameleon
Las Catalinas
High above Las Catalinas, Casa Chameleon looks across the Pacific toward the Catalinas Islands from a collection of private villas. Every villa includes its own plunge pool and terrace, making privacy a defining part of the stay. Beaches, hiking trails, and the restaurants of Las Catalinas are all just below the hillside.
Costa Rica
Nayara Springs
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
Pacuare Lodge
Pacuare River Gorge
Pacuare Lodge is Boena's flagship property, hidden along the banks of the Pacuare River within a protected rainforest reserve. Most guests arrive by whitewater raft, following one of Costa Rica's most celebrated rivers to a 20-suite lodge surrounded by primary rainforest. Costa Rican-owned and operated, Pacuare has helped shape the country's reputation for conservation-minded luxury travel.
Costa Rica
Nantipa Resort
Santa Teresa
Nantipa sits directly on Santa Teresa's broad beach, where contemporary bungalows and villas are only steps from the sand. Mornings bring surfers, long beach walks, and quiet swims before the afternoon heat arrives. As the sun sets, the beachfront restaurant becomes one of the liveliest gathering places on this stretch of coast.
Costa Rica
Amor Arenal
La Fortuna
Amor Arenal occupies a forested hillside on the lower slopes of Arenal Volcano, where standalone wooden casitas are carefully spaced among the trees. Every casita includes a private hot spring plunge pool, while larger thermal pools and forest trails are woven throughout the property. Toucans, monkeys, and hummingbirds are regular visitors, especially during the early morning.
Costa Rica
El Remanso Lodge
Cabo Matapalo
Primary rainforest covers 185 private acres at El Remanso near the tip of the Osa Peninsula. Rooms and villas are linked by forest trails where monkeys, scarlet macaws, tapirs, and countless bird species are regularly spotted. Corcovado National Park lies nearby, placing guests within one of the most biologically diverse regions on Earth.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Questions about planning a honeymoon in Costa Rica? Here are a few things we discuss when choosing your route, rooms and experiences.
Can we combine rainforest and beach on our honeymoon?
Yes. Arenal, Bajos del Toro and the Pacuare region can be combined with a coastal stay, depending on your trip length and interests. We recommend a route with the actual travel times in mind.
Which honeymoon hotels have private plunge pools?
Options include Nayara Springs, Casa Chameleon, Amor Arenal and select suites at Pacuare Lodge. We compare the room categories and setting rather than assuming every room includes the same features.
Can our honeymoon include rafting or zip lining?
Yes, if those activities suit you both. We can include guided rafting, canopy experiences, waterfall visits or hiking alongside less scheduled days. The final choices depend on your route and the requirements of each activity.
Can we choose an adults-only stay?
Yes. Several of the properties we recommend focus on couples. We check the hotel's current policies and available rooms for your dates when recommending a stay.
What is the best season for our route?
Timing depends on which coast and regions you want to visit. Share your wedding date and travel window with us, and we will recommend the route and explain the weather tradeoffs before you book.
Are the honeymoon trips fixed packages?
No. Our featured trips give you a starting point. We plan your own honeymoon around your dates, budget and interests, including the specific rooms, transfers and guided experiences you choose.
