After the whirlwind of planning a wedding, your honeymoon should feel like a deep exhale. Yet it can be so much more than that.
WELCOME TO YOUR BUDDYMOON!
Costa Rica is an iconic destination for romance, and when it comes to Costa Rica honeymoons, they are evolving. We’ve seen more and more couples choosing to share the experience with friends in what has become known as a “buddymoon”. A fancy way to take a vacation with friends, you say? YES, and we’re here for it. This growing trend lets newlyweds invite their closest people to join them for part or all of their honeymoon. Because one day of celebration just isn’t enough anymore!
Buddymoons make honeymoons feel more dynamic, but you need to find the right place that offers plenty of space for intimacy and shared adventures.
At The Point Luxury Villa in Tamarindo, we’ve got you. Our luxury oceanview villa comfortably sleeps up to 17 people, making it the perfect fit for couples who want to combine their honeymoon with the joy of traveling alongside friends or family. We have seven private suites for quiet moments, and plenty of indoor-to-outdoor common space where you can be together as a group, creating memories that last a lifetime. The Point is one of the most sought-after Costa Rica wedding villas, and we can take your event from start to finish. Seamless elegance, epic celebrations, all in the one idyllic location.
“Couples love that they can sneak away for private moments and still have friends nearby when it’s time to celebrate,” our Concierge often says.
WHY THE POINT IS DIFFERENT
One of the best things about a luxury villa honeymoon is flexibility. A traditional resort honeymoon often comes with preset menus, shared spaces, and crowded excursions. At The Point, everything is curated for you and your crew.
Want a private yoga session at sunrise, followed by a cacao ceremony overlooking the ocean? Done. Prefer a catamaran cruise one day and a lazy beach picnic the next? That’s easy. The villa setting allows you to shape your Costa Rica honeymoon exactly the way you imagine it.
And when you bring your favorite people along, the options multiply. You can have group dinners and yoga classes in the gazebo, poolside movie nights, or a sunset cocktail party while your private chef prepares dinner.
It is romance and celebration woven together in one totally unique experience.
SAMPLE FIVE-DAY BUDDYMOON FLOW
We have a 5-night minimum booking policy at The Point, although most couples choose to stay with us for 7-10 days. A honeymoon, of any kind, is not something you’ll want to rush. You do need the extra days to settle in and make the most of the villa’s amenities and surrounding highlights.
That said, here’s how your 5-day buddymoon can flow:
Day 1 – Welcome to The Point
After a short transfer from the airport, you are welcomed with a cool towel and your favorite refreshing drink. Unpack, freshen up, then wander down to the beach for your first sunset. Dinner is served overlooking the Pacific, with a menu your chef has designed around what you love to eat.
Day 2 – Sea Adventures
After an indulgent sleep in, enjoy fresh Costa Rican coffee with tropical local fruit and fresh pastries for breakfast. Head out on a private catamaran for a few hours of snorkeling and paddleboarding, and spend a relaxing afternoon by the pool after lunch. The day wraps up with a laid-back barbecue by the pool, our barman’s legendary cocktails, and music from your own playlist.
Day 3 – Group Exploration
Take an escorted adventure to hidden waterfalls or hike the volcanic slopes of Rincón de la Vieja nearby. Take a dip in natural pools, relax in hot springs with a mud bath, and delight in a delicious picnic prepared by your chef. In the evening, gather for a tasting menu with wine pairings at the villa.
Day 4 – Fun & Romance
Slip away as a couple for a horseback ride at sunset, while your friends opt for surfing or yoga. Everyone reunites at the beach for a picnic with champagne, pillows, and the sound of waves at golden hour. Pure buddymoon magic!
Day 5 – Celebrate LOVE
Enjoy a slow morning with breakfast by the pool. Spend your last day however you like, maybe spa treatments at the villa, playing golf on our three-part feature, or just relaxing in the gazebo. The farewell dinner is candlelit and delightful, a perfect wrap-up of an unforgettable shared journey.
DINING THAT FEELS PERSONAL
At The Point, we always half-joke that food is our love language, and if it is yours, too, you’ll love it here. If you want a night out, we are happy to book our favorite Tamarindo tables, too. We know where to find perfect grilled octopus, handmade pasta, and a sunset view you will talk about on the flight home.
Yet the best foodie memories? They’ll be homemade.
“Breakfast might be fresh-baked pastries, tropical fruit, and eggs made the way you like them. Lunch could be a light ceviche by the pool with a crisp salad and house-made dressing. Dinner can be anything from a relaxed barbecue to a multi-course tasting menu that highlights local fish, produce, and Costa Rican cacao. Tell us what you enjoy and what you would rather skip, and let us take it from here.” – The Point’s Chef at your service.
PLANNING TIPS FOR A GROUP HONEYMOON
- Best time to visit. The dry season from December to April brings long sunny days and calm ocean conditions. May to August is green and lush, with dramatic sunsets and fewer crowds. Both are wonderful, just different in mood.
- What to pack. Lightweight clothing, swimwear, comfortable walking shoes, a light sweater for breezy evenings, reef-safe sunscreen, and something you feel great wearing for a private dinner. If you forget anything, we can help you source it locally.
- Getting here. The Liberia International Airport is just over an hour’s drive from The Point by private transfer. There are direct flights from major US hubs, and we can arrange a helicopter transfer that lands near the villa if you prefer to arrive with a view.
WHY THE POINT IS IDEAL FOR BUDDYMOONS
The Point is more than just a beautiful villa; it is a private Costa Rica luxury vacation home designed for both intimacy and togetherness. With room for 17 guests, private suites, expansive social spaces, and a location just outside Tamarindo, it combines seclusion with easy access to adventure.
Couples often say that staying here feels effortless, and we like to think our team deserves all the credit. Our staff anticipates your needs, whether that’s setting up beach chairs at sunset or stocking the fridge with your favorite wine. Friends and family love the pool, the gazebo, and the easy flow between shared and private moments.
If you’re looking for something beyond the traditional honeymoon, a buddymoon at The Point may be the perfect choice. Celebrate love with your closest friends, enjoy the beauty of Costa Rica together, and create memories that go far beyond the usual.
