Lapa Rios is named after the Scarlet Macaw, which mate for life. This is why you usually see them flying in pairs. Perhaps this is why lovers and honeymooners have quietly discovered Lapa Rios over the years. Romantic luxury here is about experiencing a destination's natural beauty in surroundings that welcome Costa Rica's authentic beauty and culture with open arms.
Special packages include private dinners for two, guided rainforest hikes and plenty of time to enjoy the private bungalow and veranda which offer spectacular ocean views while surrounded by the lush tropical rainforest. There are also a number of easily accessible beaches close by and Lapa Rio’s very own rainforest waterfall provides a beautiful backdrop for a private lunch, a popular indulgence. Another favourite activity is planting a tree in the lodge’s private rainforest reserve in memory of the time they have shared in this special place.
Additional romantic activities recommended include:
- Enjoy a unique romantic candlelight dinner by the natural swimming pool, overlooking the rainforest and magnificent Golfo Dulce that drifts away into the ocean.
- Take a romantic boat ride in the nearby Golfo Dulce with a nature guide. Depending on the time of the year, guests may see sea turtles, whales and possibly swim with dolphins.
- Adventure into nature: horseback ride along a pristine beach or hike into unspoiled rainforest waterfalls, featuring natural pools.
- Indulge in a relaxing massage in the rainforest-view massage room.
Popular months for couples are January or February, April to June and September to November when it feels like you have Costa Rica to yourself.
