Costa Rica Beach Honeymoon: Sun, Sand & Romance

Golden sunlight, warm ocean waves, and a paradise made for two — a Costa Rica beach honeymoon blends the best that adventure and tranquility have to offer in a setting that feels like a dream. Step onto the soft sand, hand in hand, and catch the sunrise. And let love flow as freely as the ocean breeze, wrapping couples up in an unforgettable escape.

Not all beachfront resorts are created equal. Ylang Ylang Beach Resort, nestled in the charming town of Montezuma, is a sanctuary designed for romance, relaxation, and pure connection. Acquired in the late 1970s by Lenny and Patricia lacono, this unique retreat has transformed over the years. Its name is a tribute to the fragrant Ylang Ylang flower that thrives in the tropics.

As the resort evolved, it remained focused on its core mission: to provide a haven where couples can truly relax and connect. 

A honeymoon should be effortless, and that's precisely what Ylang Ylang delivers. A relaxing spa massage with an ocean view, swaying palms, and the crashing of waves create a naturally serene setting. Here, stress fades with each breath of salty air. Couples wake up to fresh ocean breezes as their introduction to paradise, with every detail designed to help you unwind and enjoy happiness that melts away all tension. 

Beyond the resort, Costa Rica's lush landscape invites adventure. Hidden waterfalls and scenic hiking trails offer an ideal balance of excitement and serenity. Spend the day discovering new places or simply soak in the beauty of doing absolutely nothing.

A honeymoon should mix relaxation and excitement, and Ylang Ylang Costa Rica offers both. If you're craving a little more adrenaline, there's no shortage of ways to add adventure to your love story.

• Zip-lining through the Jungle: Soar above the rainforest canopy, taking in unforgettable views. The rush of wind and the endless greenery make it a memorable way to experience Costa Rica together.

• ATV Rides to Hidden Beaches: Hop on an ATV and explore off-the-beaten-path beaches. Ride through rugged trails, past waterfalls, and over rolling hills to find your secluded paradise.

• Surfing Lessons: Catching waves as a couple is both fun and rewarding. Take a 3-hour lesson to learn the basics or brush up your skills with a surf instructor.

• Wildlife Watching: Ylang Ylang is surrounded by a jungle with wildlife and exotic creatures. Experience the sighting of the white-throated capuchins, the woolly opossum, white-nosed coatis, basilisk lizards, and more while staying at this beautiful hotel on the beach. 

Romance in Montezuma sets the stage for unforgettable moments.

• Sunset Beach Walks: There's always something magical about strolling along the shores and watching the sun dip below the horizon. Walk hand in hand while you watch this natural transition of sunset. 

• Candlelit Dining by the Ocean: A private dinner with waves as your personal soundtrack? Yes, please. Ylang Ylang Beach Resort offers exquisite beachfront dining, where fresh seafood and tropical flavors blend perfectly with the rhythm of the tides.

• Waterfall Adventures: A short hike leads to Montezuma's famous waterfalls. These cascades are surrounded by lush greenery, which is perfect for a refreshing dip or a quiet moment together in nature.

• Couples' Spa Treatments: Side-by-side massages infused with tropical scents take relaxation to the next level. The resort's spa uses natural ingredients to rejuvenate both body and mind.

• Enjoy the Hot Springs: You can’t plan a Costa Rica getaway without checking out the hot springs. Visit one of the hot springs and spas located in the volcanic regions. 

• Snorkeling and Diving: With clear waters and colorful reefs. Explore marine life around the many beaches near Ylang Ylang.

• Yoga Class: Start the morning with a yoga session overlooking the ocean. Moving through gentle poses, ground and strengthen the bond between your body and mind.

Packing for a Costa Rica beach honeymoon is easy when you know what to bring. A few essentials will make your trip stress-free and enjoyable.

• Lightweight Clothing: Breathable fabrics like linen can keep you cool and protect your skin from the sun. Pack casual outfits for exploring and something dressier for romantic dinners.

• Swimwear and Cover-Ups: Beach days and waterfall swims mean you'll want multiple swimsuits. A stylish cover-up makes it easy to go from lounging in the sun to dining seaside.

• Comfortable Footwear: Flip-flops are great for the beach, but water shoes and sturdy sandals are better for hiking and exploring. Planning to zip-line or ride ATVs? Closed-toe shoes are a must.

• Eco-Friendly Sunscreen: Remember to pack sunscreen. It will protect your skin while you're having a blast in the sun.

• Insect Repellent Even Paradise has mosquitoes. Repellent keeps bug bites to a minimum and allows you to continue enjoying the fun.

• Reusable Water Bottle: Staying hydrated in the tropical heat is essential. A refillable bottle helps reduce waste while keeping you refreshed all day during your adventures. You can fill up your bottle from Ylang Ylang’s own spring source, which is treated, filtered, and delicious.

• Camera or Smartphone: You'll want to capture every special moment, from beach sunsets to jungle hikes. These are the memories you'll cherish forever.

A Costa Rica beach honeymoon is more than a getaway — it's the beginning of a lifetime of memories. At Ylang Ylang Beach Resort, romance isn't something you plan; it's something that unfolds naturally. Days filled with laughter, adventure, and relaxation become the foundation for a love story that continues long after the trip ends. With the ocean as your witness, this is where forever begins.
