Romantic Getaway

Monteverde
The search for a honeymoon or romantic getaway is one of those high-stakes vacations that requires careful planning to make it truly special. For lovers of nature, hiking, adventure, and extraordinary beauty, high atop a Costa Rican mountain, you’ll find the cloud forest, the perfect backdrop for an incredible romantic escape in Monteverde; unique and unforgettable. It’s a country brimming with natural wonders, making it synonymous with a truly magnificent romantic vacation.

Monteverde is a small, picturesque town located on the continental divide that runs through the center of Costa Rica. While small in size, it’s brimming with opportunities to create unforgettable moments with your partner. It’s the perfect destination for newlyweds to begin the rest of their lives together in one of the last remaining tropical montane cloud forests in the world. How does walking among the clouds while exploring the forest sound? Or a romantic dinner watching a spectacular sunset? Or ziplining through the forest canopy? Memorable.

One of the most important decisions when planning your romantic getaway in Monteverde is choosing your mountaintop love nest. Ficus Sunset Suites Hotel not only has all the modern comforts of romance, but it’s also in the heart of Monteverde, a warm and magical place to discover. After a day of adventures, retreat to your spacious suite with fine wood details that inspire serenity and total relaxation while you revel in the spectacular views from the privacy of your terrace. This is romantic perfection.

Adventure for Love


While Monteverde evokes the tranquility and peace of the cloud forest, it is also one of Costa Rica’s premier natural adventure destinations. For adventure lovers and those looking to enjoy exciting couple’s goals, welcome to Selvatura Adventure Park Monteverde, where fun in nature truly comes to life.
Selvatura Adventure Park has perfected the cloud forest experience from a variety of perspectives, perfect for couples. Whether you choose to soar through the forest canopy or walk across the hanging bridges, adventure is the name of the game here and will get your heart racing!

With a variety of adventure packages to choose from, the first romantic decision for couples is deciding which activities to do. A friendly suggestion is to do them all to truly experience the cloud forest and its treasures, but couples should at least try the zip lines and the hanging bridge trail, which will show them the cloud forest from the skies.

Gliding through the cloud forest canopy on 13 cables is not only an adrenaline rush, but it will also give you a satisfying sense of accomplishment knowing your loved one is cheering you on as you reach the next platform. Finish the ride with a Tarzan swing to take your romantic adventure to the next level.

After soaring through the cloud canopy, it’s time for a stroll across the suspension bridges that hang in the misty sky. What could be better than a peaceful walk through nature, observing wildlife and simply enjoying the moment together? What could be more romantic than walking among the clouds?

For the love of food, Monteverde is the ultimate destination for romantic dining and foodie couples. With a selection of culinary experiences, couples can enjoy a variety of romantic local restaurants, including the restaurant at Ficus Sunset Suites, which is perfect for a casual dinner while enjoying uninterrupted views of the Pacific Ocean coastline or the starlit sky. Not far from Ficus Sunset Suites, there’s a variety of excellent dining experiences. If, after a day of adventures, you still have the energy to check out Monteverde’s nightlife, this could be a great opportunity to dine out. Whether you choose traditional Costa Rican eateries called “Sodas” to soak up the local atmosphere or decide to dress up and dine at more upscale restaurants like Tree House or Celajes, the restaurant at Hotel Belmar, there’s an experience to suit every taste.

The Path of Love


Put on your hiking boots and keep your binoculars handy, as hiking in the Monteverde Cloud Forest is a truly romantic outing. This dreamy walk through one of the most biodiverse reserves in the region, and the world, is a couple’s goal worth achieving. This is a unique experience and shouldn’t be missed during your stay in Monteverde.
Monteverde has a number of nature reserves that allow you to immerse yourself in this misty world of beauty. This is a sensory experience that will touch your soul and open your eyes to the intense fragility of the forest, home to a myriad of birds, insects, animals, mosses, trees, and plants that draw sustenance from the moisture-laden clouds of the canopy and the tiny amounts of sunlight that manage to penetrate the forest floor.

It’s magical and a romantic walk to share with your partner.
