Beachfront Wedding Venues in Costa Verde: Best Coastal Locations & Dreamy Tips for Your Perfect Day

Picture this: the salty breeze gently tousling your hair, your feet sinking into warm golden sand, and the sound of waves applauding your vows. Somewhere behind you, a sloth is moving almost fast enough to catch your bouquet. Welcome to Costa Verde—Costa Rica’s lesser-known gem and a beachfront wedding paradise that might just make you say “I do” twice (once to your partner, and once to the ocean).

If you’ve been fantasizing about a destination wedding that’s lush, laid-back, and wildly beautiful, Costa Verde should be circling your Pinterest board in bright pink hearts. Here’s everything you need to know, with a few secret tips, laughs, and real-deal planning gold.

Why Costa Verde? 🌴💍

First off, Costa Verde isn’t just “pretty.” It’s wow-my-jaw-just-dropped kind of gorgeous. Nestled on the Pacific coast, this region is all about misty mountains meeting sparkling shores. Picture jungle cliffs, dramatic sunsets, and beaches that feel private—even when they’re not.

But it’s not just about looks (although, hello, have you seen it?). Costa Verde has that effortless Costa Rican “pura vida” vibe. Translation? You’ll stress less, smile more, and possibly dance with a monkey. Nature here is a guest at your wedding—and frankly, it’s kind of the life of the party.

The Best Beachfront Wedding Venues in Costa Verde 🏝

Let’s get to the good stuff: the venues that’ll make your wedding look like it walked out of a destination wedding magazine (or at least go viral on Instagram).

1. Hotel Costa Verde – Weddings with Wild Views

Only 300 yards from the beach and perched on the edge of Manuel Antonio National Park, this hotel offers four swoon-worthy wedding spots:

The Wedding Helipad – Yes, you read that right. An actual helipad with a 360° view of the Pacific. Dramatic entrance not included (but highly recommended).
The Beach – Obvious, yes. Magical, absolutely. Picture bare feet, sunset vows, and the occasional curious iguana.
The Grassy Knoll – Hidden among jungle greenery, perfect for an intimate ceremony with max privacy (and maybe a toucan or two).
The Wedding Pavilion – For the big bashers, this open-air space fits 250 guests and brings the whole rainforest-meets-ocean vibe.

Bonus? Rehearsal dinner at El Avion, a plane-turned-restaurant. Because why not?

2. Arenas del Mar Beachfront & Rainforest Resort – Luxury Meets Nature

This eco-luxury resort is one of the few in Costa Rica where you can literally walk from your suite to the sand. Think sustainable style, gourmet cuisine, and sunsets that’ll make your grandma cry.

3. La Mariposa Hotel – Ocean Views for Days

If panoramic cliffside views and Mediterranean charm are your vibe, this place will steal your heart. Sunset ceremonies here feel like movie endings…except it’s your beginning.

Quick & Honest Tips for Planning a Costa Verde Beach Wedding ✈️🌺

Timing is everything: Dry season (December–April) is ideal. Rainy season might sound romantic but… let’s not tempt fate unless you want a muddy first dance.
Don’t DIY everything: Local planners know which flowers survive the heat, which permits you need, and how to calm down your anxious aunt when the howler monkeys start singing.
Tell guests early: People need time to book flights, pack linen outfits, and mentally prepare for jungle adventures.
Bring bug spray (fancy one): You’re still glam, but you’re glam in a tropical zone. Keep the glow, ditch the bites.

What Does It Really Feel Like to Get Married Here?

It’s barefoot elegance. It’s “I can’t believe this is real” magic. It’s the sound of waves instead of violins. And yes, it might rain for 10 minutes during your vows… and it’ll be the most beautiful part of the day.

It’s not about perfection. It’s about being present. And Costa Verde is incredibly good at reminding you what really matters.
