    • Day 1: San José to Ojochal - Arrival - Hello, coastal bliss

      Arrive in San José and meet your private driver for a scenic journey down the Pacific coast to Ojochal, where the rainforest meets the sea. Check into Hotel Three Sixty, an adults-only hideaway perched high above the coastline, where sleek villas open to sweeping ocean views and a soundtrack of birdsong. Take a dip in the infinity pool as the sun sinks into the Pacific, or toast your arrival with a cocktail at the panoramic rooftop bar. Your escape has begun.

    • Day 2: Ojochal - Undersea adventures at Caño Island

      This morning, head out on a shared boat tour to the famed Caño Island Biological Reserve, where crystal-clear waters reveal a technicolor world below. Snorkel alongside rays, sea turtles, and clouds of tropical fish in one of Costa Rica’s best marine sanctuaries. Return to Hotel Three Sixty and spend the evening your way—poolside with a cocktail, or strolling along the secluded Playa Tortuga.

    • Day 3: Ojochal - Whale watching in nature's playground

      Set sail through Marino Ballena National Park, a coastal sanctuary where, during the right season (July–October & December–April), humpback whales breach and dolphins play in warm Pacific waters. Out of season, the tour shifts focus to dolphin encounters and coastal beauty. Spend the afternoon as you wish—reading on your terrace, or cooling off in the pool. As evening falls, enjoy a private candlelit dinner at Hotel Three Sixty, with a curated menu and starlit sky all to yourselves.

    • Day 4: Ojochal - Hidden waterfalls at Nauyaca

      Lace up your hiking shoes for a shared guided trek to Nauyaca Waterfalls, a pair of powerful jungle cascades tumbling into deep, swimmable pools. After a refreshing dip and riverside pause, return to Three Sixty for a relaxed evening. You may choose to indulge in a sunset couples’ massage, or unwind with a complimentary yoga session as toucans flit through the canopy.

    • Day 5: Ojochal to the Osa Peninsula - Into Costa Rica's wilds

      Venture south to the Osa Peninsula, one of the most biodiverse places on Earth. A private transfer brings you to Puerto Jiménez, followed by your arrival at El Remanso Lodge, a secluded rainforest retreat tucked deep in the wild. Settle into your elegant plunge pool villa, where the line between indoors and nature disappears. Spend the afternoon on your deck spotting monkeys in the treetops, or take a short walk to the lodge’s waterfall. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included—dinner features tropical flavors and freshly caught seafood.

    • Day 6: the Osa Peninsula - Waterfall rappelling in the heart of the rainforest

      Adventure calls as you join a shared rappelling tour through El Remanso’s hidden waterfalls. Descend mossy canyon walls and splash into jungle pools—a rush of adrenaline tempered by the soothing rhythm of the forest. Return to your villa for an afternoon of well-earned rest—perhaps a nap in the hammock or a soak in your plunge pool with a glass of chilled wine.

    • Day 7: the Osa Peninsula - Off to Nosara's coastal chill

      Awaken to birdsong and morning mist before heading out on a guided hike along El Remanso’s private trails. Your naturalist guide will point out sloths clinging to cecropia trees, scarlet macaws in flight, and delicate orchids blooming in the undergrowth. The afternoon is yours: lounge on your deck, journal in the hammock, or revisit your favorite rainforest trail. Later, when twilight falls, discover and uncover the hidden treasures of darkness in the jungle – the moths, frogs, bats and other wildlife that wake only when the sun goes down.

    • Day 8: the Osa Peninsula - Rainforest hikes & panoramic ocean views

      Let the day unfold slowly—whether that means one last jungle walk, a swim at the lodge’s natural pool, or coffee on your terrace with toucans for company. As the sun fades, prepare for a once-in-a-lifetime evening: a private treetop dinner on a canopy platform, with a telescope for stargazing and a gourmet meal served under the open sky. This is romance redefined.

    • Day 9: the Osa Peninsula to San José - Departure - Farewell, paradise

      After breakfast, a puddle jumper flight returns you to San José, back, flying above mountains and forests. You’ll leave with sandy toes, sun-kissed skin, and a heart full of wild, radiant memories—your love deepened by the magic of Costa Rica. Breakfast is included.
