Destinations to Bring Out the Lover in You

February and Valentine’s Day may have come and gone, but that doesn’t mean you can’t shower your partner with affection any time of year. And there’s no place on earth quite like this destination to do romance in luxurious fashion.

Costa Rica.

If you want a bit of jungle with your luxury, these Costa Rican locations are sure to bring out the lover in you – and your mate!

If you and your partner love the outdoors and being in nature, Playa Cativo on the Osa Peninsula is perfect. Its remoteness is blissful – you can only get there by boat over the Golfo Dulce. Costa Rica’s Osa region is located in the south Pacific, and the Playa Cativo Lodge shares a border with Piedras Blancas National Park. This national park is home to more than 140 different species of mammals, including all of the wild cats of Costa Rica. The lodge offers an incredible near-180-degree view of the beach – and if you’re lucky, you might just catch some dolphins leaping out of the Gulf as you dine on the lodge’s open-air terrace. This is the epitome of partaking of Costa Rica’s abundance of tropical nature.

And if you’re more into space-age luxury than you are nature, Uvita’s Kura Design Villas are the safest bet in Costa Rica – if not the world. These villas sport the most beautiful infinity pool in Central America – in fact, you’ve probably seen it on more than a few Instagram accounts. The greys and angular lines of the complex itself stand striking against a backdrop of lush greenery. This getaway is for adults only, and with only eight suites, you’ll be in lavish, secluded heaven. And, on the off chance that you’d like to venture out into nature, the Marino Balena National Park borders the property.

In fact, many lodges in Costa Rica are over-sensationalized and end up having more people and less space for privacy. But Uvita is just a short drive from the city, plus in the opposite direction, you’re just a shuttle ride from some of the prettiest beaches on the Pacific Coast.
