A destination wedding in Costa Rica can be fun, affordable, and the dream wedding you have always fantasized about. I recently had the honour of attending one of these special weddings in beautiful Guanacaste, where I picked up on some important tips that are essential for a spectacular destination wedding.

A week of multicultural nuptials in paradise

Amit Khanna and Katie Burns tied the knot with approximately 65 of their closest friends and family at Paradisus Playa Conchal where they spent a week attending various events, exploring the resort, and venturing out on local excursions in Costa Rica. Their ceremonies were colorful fusions of Hindu and Irish wedding traditions, incorporating both of the couple’s cultural backgrounds.

In keeping with Hindu tradition, the bride, groom, and guests participated in two important ceremonies the day before the wedding. First the bride and groom were cleansed with turmeric powder during the Haldi ceremony. This colourful yet messy event was held on the beach and guests took part in covering the happy couple with this yellow spice to ensure their skin would glow. Later, the bride and all her female guests had henna applied to their hands and feet during the Mendhi ceremony. The ritual of Mendhi signifies the strength and power of love in a marriage, and is regarded as a good omen for the bride-to-be.

The tiny country of Costa Rica is a nature-lover’s paradise. With two coasts, one on the Pacific Ocean and the other on the Caribbean Sea, the ecological variations and contrasting landscapes make Costa Rica one of the most appealing Honeymoon destinations. Complete with lush rainforests, active volcanoes, mountainous regions and rugged coastlines, couples looking for a romantic adventure will not be disappointed.

Many honeymooners begin their exploration in the Arenal area, starting with a look at the flowing lava of the Arenal Volcano. Not far from Arenal, you will encounter the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve. This rainforest is one of the most outstanding wildlife refuges in Costa Rica, complete with hundreds of different species of mammals, birds and insects. Hike through the jungle or get a birds-eye view on a canopy tour where you will swing through the trees above on a zip line.

On the Pacific coast, the Guanacaste region of the Nicoya Peninsula is the best place to find long stretches of deserted sands where you and your partner can disappear for a while. There are also several semi-active volcanoes here plus cattle ranches and lakes. Guanacaste is the driest area of Costa Rica, experiencing only about 65 inches of rain each year, but some amazing waterfalls can still be seen in the jungles surrounding Montezuma.

A few cozy boutique hotels that cater to honeymooners can be found on Mount Chirripo, the highest peak in the country. Perched above the sea on the central Pacific coast, this area boasts spectacular views. In the south along this coast is a very humid, remote and largely undeveloped area with many protected areas and national parks. Check into a nature lodge near the shore of Golfo Dulce where privacy is easy to come by. Explore rainforests or take advantage of the warmer waters in this region and go scuba diving in the Cano Island Biological Preserve. Stony coral, huge schools of fish, manta rays and sharks are common sightings here.

The Caribbean coast is blanketed with rivers, rainforests and banana plantations and has many remote and secluded areas, perfect for a romantic getaway. Visit the Tortuguero National Park to witness sea turtles nesting or take a riverboat trip and explore the unique biodiversity of the area. The Cahuita National Park is a gorgeous, palm-lined beach with colorful coral reefs very close to shore and a few sunken ships to explore as well. This region is also a popular destination for white water rafting on one of the many rivers which plunge through mountain gorges and offer spectacular scenery.

Romance and excitement will be the theme for your honeymoon as you wander through the rich ecological treasures of Costa Rica. Bring your sense of adventure, a love of nature and do not forget the camera!
