27 Best Vacation Spots for Every Type of Couple

"The beauty of Costa Rica’s Arenal Volcano National Park is that you can do as much—or as little—as you want and still have a great time. This is especially true of couples who choose to bed down at the adults-only Nayara Springs, a collection of luxurious private villas with plunge pools, gardens, outdoor showers, and show-stopping views of the Arenal Volcano. Off-property adventures include white-water rafting expeditions down the Sarapiqui River, visits to the 195-foot waterfall in the Arenal Hanging Bridges Park, and a photo tour of the lava fields."

Adults Only

"Nayara Springs is a high-end adults-only hotel whose villas have everything from spring-fed plunge pools to indoor and outdoor showers." - Mark Fedeli

"Connected by a 200-foot footbridge spanning a rainforest ravine, Nayara Springs is the newer, adults-only sister property of Nayara Resort, Spa & Gardens. Each of the former’s 35 villas is eclectically furnished—crystal chandeliers hang above hand-carved Balinese furniture, Mexican tiles blend with local art and textiles—and opens to its own private pool fed by naturally warm mineral springs; terraces have daybeds, dining areas, and hammocks on one side and grottolike outdoor shower areas on the other. After awakening to the sounds of the jungle, make your way toMi Cafecito, an espresso bar where locally sourced beans are roasted on-site, before stretching hiking-sore limbs with complimentary yoga at the alfresco pavilion. Smoothies, fresh-squeezed juices, and light salads are on offer at the poolside restaurant. In the evenings, Amor Loco is the place for cocktails, international dishes and, on most nights, live music."
