Costa Rica Honeymoon: Arenal + Beach Itinerary

ItineraryBy Carlos Rodríguez · Founder & Lead Guide, Fortuna ExpeditionsPublished · Updated
The ideal Costa Rica honeymoon pairs Arenal (volcano views and hot springs) with a relaxed Pacific beach. A week is plenty: 3-4 nights in La Fortuna, then 3-4 nights on the coast.
Here's a romantic, unhurried plan — heavy on hot springs, sunsets and downtime.

Part 1 — Arenal Romance (3-4 nights)

Volcano-view lodges, a couples' soak at Tabacón, a private waterfall hike and a sunset lake tour. Slow mornings, no alarm.

Gardens and thermal pools at Tabacón

Part 2 — Beach Bliss (3-4 nights)

Finish on the Nicoya coast — the yoga-and-sunset calm of Nosara or lively Tamarindo. Fly out of Liberia (LIR).
