Start your honeymoon where lush rainforests meet the sea, and every moment offers a blend of serenity and excitement. Welcome to Costa Rica’s southwestern Pacific coast, where romance, relaxation, and adventure go hand-in-hand.

NESTLED IN THE RAINFOREST AND NEAR THE PACIFIC OCEAN
If you’re looking for a honeymoon spot that feels like a secret escape, Hotel Three Sixty in Ojochal is it. This boutique, adults-only luxury hotel sits just above the rainforest canopy, offering panoramic views of both rainforest and ocean. It’s quiet, private, and incredibly romantic.

You’re guaranteed a front-row seat to nature with just twelve suites, each with floor-to-ceiling windows and private balconies. Fall asleep to the sounds of the forest and wake up to bird calls drifting in with the morning mist. There’s also an infinity pool, open-air restaurant and lounge, and a spa for couples’ massages or solo unwinding.

WILDLIFE, WATERWAYS & WONDER
The hotel’s private nature trail is a highlight. Walk it at dawn or dusk
and you’re likely to spot capuchin monkeys, blue morpho butterflies, poison dart frogs, and an array of tropical birds-from toucans to hummingbirds to scarlet macaws. This region is one of the most biodiverse on Earth, and Costa Rica’s dedication to conservation is visible everywhere. Hotel Three Sixty partners with One Tree Planted and Swarovski Optik to support rainforest preservation and education.

DON’T MISS EXPERIENCES FOR COUPLES

Swarovski Optik Rainforest Experience
With Swarovski Optik binoculars available at the hotel, you can explore the vibrant landscape in sharp detail. The hotel can arrange a guided tour of the private Swarovski Optik Rainforest-six miles of immersive trails from moderate to challenging.

Nauyaca Waterfalls
About an hour’s drive away, this double-drop waterfall is the stuff of jungle dreams. You can swim in the lower, deep natural pool, climb
the rocks, or just relax to the roar of falling water. Tours book fast, so ask the hotel to arrange this one early.

Whale & Dolphin Watching
If your honeymoon lands between December-April or July-October, you’re in luck-those are peak months for spotting humpback whales off the Osa Peninsula. A dolphin-watching tour can be arranged through the hotel for a close-up view of marine life.

Coffee Farm Tour
Visit Café Don Emilio, a family-run farm perched above Ballena Bay, where you’ll get an intimate tour of how coffee is grown, roasted, and served Costa Rican-style. It’s a fun and flavorful experience- and the views are just as rich as the coffee.

GETTING THERE
Fly into San José International Airport (SJO), transfer to a domestic flight to Quepos, then enjoy a scenic hour-long drive to the hotel. Prefer the road? Rent a 4WD SUV or arrange a private transfer- Ojochal is about four hours from San José by car.
