Swoon over Central America
Mother Nature herself enjoyed creating Costa Rica! It's a land of incredible natural wonders and panoramas that are a feast for the eyes. Is it any wonder that Costa Rica holidays are becoming hugely popular amongst lovers, for anniversaries, honeymoons and romantic getaways? Weddings are a speciality, and with a backdrop of mountains, deserted beaches and even a volcano, the bride has a difficult time competing for the eyes of the beholders. Nonetheless, brides aplenty convince their beloveds to elope to the magical ambience of Central America's jewel.
Singer Pink recently married her motocross champion sweetheart Carey Hart in a barefoot beach ceremony, one of the best kinds of Costa Rica holidays! Guests flew in from all over, including Lisa Marie Presley and several of the bride and groom's family members. No one would have questioned the couple's choice of wedding venue. It would have taken mere seconds for guests to reconcile the scenery and atmosphere with the beach-loving twosome.
Another attraction for lovers wanting to seal their union is the fact that same sex marriages are legal here as they are in just a handful of countries in the world, including the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain and some provinces of Canada.
Naturally, hotels and resorts offer special wedding packages that include accommodation for the happy couple and all their invited guests. They also dangle a carrot that entices the honeymooners back for their first anniversary, another big Costa Rica holiday industry. Not that any kind of hard sell is needed. Who needs an excuse? A three-monthiversary is just as appropriate as celebrating the first year of wedded bliss!
There are a number of different 'personalities' of Costa Rica holidays for lovers.
Adventure Honeymoon Aside from the sumptuous surroundings of the various accommodations, couples can choose to embark on a series of adventures, including visiting the awesome Arenal Volcano. The trip begins with a journey into the dense rainforest, and continues with a hike to an observation point through primary forest. From there it's up to the hot springs where more than eight pools set in a stunning tropical garden await. For the more adventurous, another day could involve hiking through the forest, climbing high into the canopy, followed by rappelling, a 420 meter water slide, horseback riding, hot springs and plenty of walking.
Luxury And Bliss For the couple who prefers their excitement low key, there are resorts that offer spa accommodation and services to delight. With villas featuring private beaches and views, privacy is plentiful. The menu consists of local treats, fresh and magnificent fruits and vegetables and chef-created gourmet dishes that will tempt any palate. Together, husband and wife can luxuriate in tropical style as they enjoy his and hers full body massages, soak in the Jacuzzi or take up some yoga or pilates. Each day begins with complimentary music provided by monkeys and parrots, and ends with magnificent dusks, perhaps even on a sunset sailing cruise.
Our Very Own Private Island Privacy unlimited exists for you on your extra special Costa Rica holiday. Honeymooners, those enjoying anniversary celebrations or zero-excuse romantic getaways can tuck themselves away from the gaze of other tourists and experience decadence afforded by the sumptuous surroundings, gorgeous weather and luxurious appointments including full service spas. Paradise on earth is right here.
At One With Nature Couples who desire to be closer to nature can also find just what they want on a Costa Rica holiday. Ecotourism is here in spades and there are dozens of tour companies who will happily show guests the natural wonders and introduce them to the exotic fauna.
Expensive or low budget, nature or luxury, the high life or the quiet life, Costa Rica has it all.
