Costa Rica's Most Romantic Beach Honeymoon Destination
Isolated Beaches & Boutique Hotels

The Samara - Nosara - Punta Islita region of the Nicoya Peninsula is synonymous with romance, featuring what many consider to be the most beautiful beaches in Costa Rica.  Isolated beaches with no crowds and breathtaking scenery make this area of the Nicoya Peninsula a favorite destination for Costa Rica Honeymoon couples. 

Elegant, luxurious accommodations can be found at boutique hotels such as Harmony, L'acqua Viva and The Sanctuary Resort.  Hotel Punta Islita, a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, is renowned as perhaps the country's top honeymoon destination on the beach.  While access to the region can be challenging, short flights from San Jose are available and recommended.

We suggest staying a minimum of three nights in the area due to its remote location.  Visits to the Central Valley, Osa, Tortuguero, Arenal, Monteverde, or Manuel Antonio are the perfect complement to your stay in the Nicoya Peninsula.
