All of this comes with concierge services dedicated to your fullest enjoyment, and a world of exploration in the exquisite Santa Teresa.

Day 1: Recover from Jet Lag With Massage Therapy

The best way to get rid of tension or jet lag or finally recover from a whirlwind wedding? A private couples’ massage, of course! When you step off the plane and arrive at your accommodations at Casa Teresa, the first day of your Costa Rican honeymoon itinerary can be solely focused on clearing your head and preparing you for a week of total bliss.

Through our personalized concierge services, you can book massage therapists, as well as yoga and meditation instructors, to come directly to you. These trusted professionals will set up everything right in the comfort of your luxury villa, and for any kind of massage therapy, so you and your partner can easily leave the stress of the real world behind.

Spend the rest of Day One of your honeymoon itinerary in Costa Rican luxury by lounging in your beach-view villa, perhaps with: 

• A private chef ready to prepare any kind of meal fitting of your first day in paradise. After all, your massage will likely replace your weariness with such a state of blissful relaxation you won’t want to set out right away, no matter how beautifully Santa Teresa beckons.
• A dip in your private pool 
• A leisurely romantic walk mere paces from your door to take in the beach at sunset.

However you do your first day, take it in stride, knowing you have the whole place and time to yourself and your favorite person.

Day 2: Take a Canopy Tour Around Montezuma

A honeymoon trip to Costa Rica just wouldn’t be complete without a canopy tour through the rainforest! 

A canopy tour involves gliding over the trees on ziplines and hiking over bridges, all atop a lush rainforest. You’ll be able to soar through the trees like a bird and enjoy views beyond imagination — or at least more intimately, if you already were awed by the views, if you arrived here by helicopter. Canopy tours can be as adventurous as you want them to be, and virtually any age group or fitness level can enjoy this opportunity. Work with your expert tour guide to customize your adventure. 

While you’re in Montezuma as a crown jewel of your Costa Rica honeymoon itinerary, you can’t possibly miss out on Montezuma Waterfalls, either! A short hike through a pristine jungle rewards you with glorious views and crystal clear waters to jump in. Montezuma is, in and of itself, worth dedicating a full day of your honeymoon itinerary in Costa Rica. This is especially true as our guests tend to opt for longer than a week, including for extended durations.  

Day 3: Take a Romantic Horseback Riding Tour on the Beach

After exploring the jungle by foot and by zipline, get a new, eco-friendly perspective on nature with a horseback tour down the beach, through the jungle, along the tidepools and lagoons, or anywhere else you’d love to live out your romance novel dreams — windswept hair and all. 

Still missing the jungle? Revisit it through a jungle party! There are many sensuously unique ways to wine, dine, and dance under the stars, all compliments of Santa Teresa’s superb nightlife. 

Day 4: Take a Surfing or Scuba Diving Class on Santa Teresa Beach

Playa Santa Teresa is world-famous for its surfing, and what a way to get swept off your feet in love all over again than by adding it to your Costa Rica honeymoon itinerary? While you’ll find a wealth of surf schools and rental facilities with all the equipment and guidance you need to get started, you can skip the lines and keep it exclusive with private surfing lessons through our concierge services. 

Spend a sunny day taking on the waves or just trying to stand up on your board. Whether you surf successfully or fall off more than you stay on, surfing is the perfect way to enjoy your honeymoon trip in Costa Rica.

If you want to take the plunge with your love all over again, you can do it with a scuba diving lesson, as your concierge services will be just as eager to assist with a tour that fits your time, skill level, and anything else. 

Day 5: Take a Tour Through Cabo Blanco Nature Reserve

If you’re traveling all the way to the semi-remote Nicoya Peninsula for your must-do Costa Rica honeymoon itinerary, you shouldn’t miss one of the most famous nature reserves in the world, located just a short drive away from Santa Teresa.

Cabo Blanco Nature Reserve is one of the many one-of-a-kind hiking destinations in the Nicoya Peninsula, situated in a lush rainforest located at its southern tip. It was the country’s very first area designated as protected for its abundance of sea life, bird species, rare trees, and diverse animal species, and to this day, it remains exclusive and only available by permit; avoid the paperwork and risk-taking by finding your way through the forest with a trusted guide booked through our concierge services. On your hike, see if you can spot a rare ocelot, armadillo, anteater, or howler monkey.

It’s the perfect add-on to your Costa Rica honeymoon trip that will truly make you feel like you’re both at the center of a great adventure, set in the middle of paradise. Don’t miss out! 

Day 6: Hire a Boat to Isla Tortuga

There are many gorgeous surrounding islands just a boat ride away from Santa Teresa, all with white sands, turquoise waters, and their own unique features. On just the boat ride to and from the island, you might see humpback whales, dolphins, and other magnificent sea life. 

What to do once you get to the island? Spend your day: 

• Relaxing by a new beach with cocktails 
• Enjoying a picnic or a spread filled with local in-season delicacies
• Swimming or going on one of the area’s highly acclaimed snorkeling tours 

You’ll find many tour companies that advertise delightful day tours to Isla Tortuga or other beautiful islands, or you can simply use our concierge service, and we’ll arrange the whole trip for you. We can hardly imagine a better way to near the tail end of your Costa Rica honeymoon itinerary!

Day 7: Depart in Style

For your last day at Casa Teresa, indulge in everything this gorgeous launch point for your Costa Rica honeymoon trip has to offer, including the beach itself, the backyard pool, luxury suites, and more. Go for some luxury shopping in town, watch the sunset with world-class dining, and indulge in a few send-off tropical cocktails. 

When it, sadly, comes time to leave, leave in style! Hire a small charter plane or helicopter to take you directly to San Jose with a few more views to add to your memories. When you witness the unbelievable beauty of this country from the sky, it will leave you utterly breathless. It’s not only the most comfortable and convenient way to get back home — it’s also an unforgettable experience in itself that will bring your Costa Rican honeymoon itinerary to the perfect finish.
