There is a reason that Costa Rica is considered one of the top romantic destinations for couples. With perfect weather, gorgeous beaches, incredibly beautiful luxury villas and amazing food, Costa Rica offers an unforgettable holiday for any couple, young and old. Here are 5 of our favourite romantic things to do in Costa Rica

Walking the Beach

Of course everyone knows that walking hand in hand on the beach is romantic. So what makes Costa Rica different? Every beach in Costa Rica is owned by the citizens and no Costa Rican beach can be private. You won’t find beaches with high rise hotels guarding their piece of sand and with so many beaches, you are sure to find that secluded, romantic spot.

Cocktails at Sunset

The Costa Rican sunsets are always breathtaking and there is no shortage of fantastic bars and restaurants with incredible sunset views. For even more romance, there is nothing like sitting poolside with cocktail in hand watching from the privacy of your own villa.

Tour a National Park

Costa Rica boasts the most incredible wildlife, and the national parks are the places to see this wildlife. At the Manuel Antonio National Park, you can hire a private guide who will help you find everything from monkeys and sloths to lizards and toucans. This is romantic why? You will hug each other with pure joy when you see a mother sloth with a baby on her back slowly making her way through the canopy.

Candlelight dinner

Dining in Costa Rica is pure pleasure. Whether you choose one of the many world class restaurants or hire a private chef to cook for you in your villa, you are guaranteed to find the perfect romance while enjoying the wonderful food.   

Sunset Cruise

There is nothing more romantic than watching the sunset on your own private boat. Spend the afternoon cruising the shoreline, swimming, and looking for dolphins. At the end of the day your personal captain will make sure you see the most amazing sunset while you drink champagne and enjoy the view.  If that is a little too laid back for you there is always the option to charter a sportfishing boat and spend a day or half day fishing the incredible waters of the Pacific Ocean.
