Eco Honeymoon & Sustainable Weddings

The private setting in its own rainforest reserve, within walking distance to secluded beaches and spectacular ocean views makes this resort the ideal destination for couples to decompress after the hectic days of getting married.  The resort was designed with nature in mind, with beautifully appointed suites surrounded by the rainforest, and all the amenities for the perfect honeymoon or romantic getaway including two full service dining areas, a spa, access to miles of pristine beaches and private swimming pools.

Honeymoon

Arenas Del Mar has become one of Costa Rica’s favorite honeymoon escapes, featuring spacious suites with spectacular views and an outdoor jacuzzi. Manuel Antonio, one of the most beautiful National parks in the world, offers not only beach and ocean activities, but a great combination of restaurants, night life, rainforest and beaches.

Costa Rica has become a preferred destination for the new generation of "active honeymooners" that want more than just cocktails by the pool. A Costa Rican Honeymoon allows you to combine rainforest adventures with relaxing moments on the beach, all in a safe and luxurious environment.

We have become specialists in helping honeymoon couples create unforgettable experiences. The private setting of Arenas Del Mar Beachfront & Rainforest Resort in its private rainforest reserve within walking distance to secluded beaches and spectacular ocean views is the ideal setting for couples to decompress after the hectic days of getting married.

Favorite activities for honeymoon couples include horseback riding on the beach or in the rainforest, whitewater-rafting excursions to the nearby tropical rivers, Canopy tours (ziplines through the tops of the rainforest) and the dolphin tour in the Pacific Ocean.

One of Arenas Del Mar’s signature services is a romantic candlelight dinner, sure to be a memorable experience for couples sharing a special vacation.  Perfect for honeymoons or anniversaries, or just to share a loving occasion with that special someone, this extremely personalized service is a unique opportunity to experience dinner in a glorious setting.
