Guanacaste & The Nicoya Peninsula

Guanacaste and the Nicoya Peninsula form part of Costa Rica’s Pacific coast. Big waves and deserted coastlines backed by lush rainforest, combined with laidback beach bars and luxurious boutique hotels, create a very attractive setting. Enjoy a fresh seafood dish while watching a dazzling sunset, and you may just feel like you’ve slipped into paradise.

The Nicoya Peninsula is home to numerous luxury hotels and empty beaches around Santa Teresa, making it a popular spot for yoga retreats. Guanacaste, on the other hand, is Costa Rica’s top surf and party destination and is especially popular with tourists. There’s no shortage of boutique hotels, trendy bars, and restaurants serving the very best seafood dishes.

This coastal region is also home to nesting turtles, spectacular marine life, and many species of colourful birds and insects. For keen scuba divers, the remote Cocos Island National Park is just a short flight away and offers world-class diving.

This isolated island is a dedicated nature reserve, with the only residents being park rangers. The waters surrounding it are home to some of the ocean’s most impressive deep-water species, including whale sharks, hammerhead sharks, manta rays, yellowfin tuna, humpback whales, and various species of turtle and dolphin.

If you’re seeking a luxury honeymoon retreat in Latin America, this could be the idyllic location you’ve been dreaming of.
