Costa Rica has quickly become a popular destination for friends to come together for a couple’s getaway. The hot travel destination appeals to those who want to relax at the beach and the adventurous nature lover. So, whether you are planning a guy’s trip, girlfriend getaway, reunion or anniversary, bachelor or bachelorette party group, or simply a group of friends looking for an exotic vacation, a friend’s trip in Costa Rica will deliver something for everyone in the group.
It can be difficult to plan a Costa Rica couple’s getaway when there are several couples trying to get everything they want out of their vacation time. No one wants to be the one stuck making all the plans,or getting blamed if something goes wrong, that’s why staying at an all-inclusive vacation rental like Pura Vida House makes a friends trip in Costa Rica more enjoyable for the whole group. We can create an all-inclusive couple/friends package so you all know what to expect up front. For example, we’ve planned and hosted several tennis and pickleball group vacation packages. Many groups choose our all-inclusive option for their stay, which includes complimentary golf carts for use within Hacienda Pinilla Resort and gourmet breakfasts and dinners prepared by our international chef at the villa– all for a low per person rate. Plus, with our 24/7 concierge services, your friends trip will go smoothly from start to finish, with a private shuttle to and from the airport.

Looking to Relax
Our all-inclusive vacation rentals in Costa Rica make it easy to make everyone happy, with on-site services to please those in the group who just want to relax. At Pura Vida House, we can arrange yoga classes, private chef services, an in-house massage, and even childcare if you want to bring the kids!
All of our guests love the sunset cruise aboard a luxury catamaran. With dolphin watching, snorkeling, food, and an open bar, this is the ultimate day of relaxation!
A day of fishing may help some in your group relax, or maybe a round of golf at the Hacienda Pinilla Beach and Golf Resort. The on-site 18-hole golf course was designed to enhance the natural landscape, giving golfers an immaculately maintained place to enjoy a round of golf with their friends. You may even catch a glimpse of howler monkey, iguanas, and other wildlife while you play!
For those who really want to take it easy, hop aboard our golf carts and spend the day poolside at the Beach Club enjoying cocktails, appetizers, and lunch. There’s even a spa, and an ocean front gym for those who relax by hitting the treadmill. From the Beach Club, there is easy access to the beach, where you canlounge in the sun and enjoy daily sunsets.
Adventure Seekers
The adventurous ones in your group will be spoiled for choice on your friend’s trip in Costa Rica, because the country caters to adventure seekers. At Pura Vida House, we offer many safe and fun tour options for you and your friends.
Fancy a sunset ride atop a horse along the beach? We can offer that right here within the resort, which has easy access to three beautiful Costa Rican beaches – Playa Langosta, Playa Avellanas, and Playa Mansita. For those in the group who surf or want to learn, two of the three beaches feature ideal surf breaks, while one of the beaches is great for snorkeling.
Not exciting enough? You and your group can dedicate an entire day to adventure at the foot of a volcano! This tour is a full day of action and activity including zip lines, horseback riding,rock climbing and rappelling, and tubing or white-water rafting. You’ll end your busy day relaxing at volcano-fed hot springs and a volcanic mud bath. We know everyone is different, that’s why you can pick and choose which activities you do, or do them all!
A nearby Eco Adventure Park is another exciting day trip for groups. This popular park features an animal sanctuary with everything from jaguars, to crocodiles, to spider monkeys. There’s even a magical butterfly garden. Meanwhile, the adventure lovers will be fully satisfied with Costa Rica’s only Superman zipline that overlooks the mighty Pacific Ocean!
Out on the Town
Whether you prefer excitement or relaxation, everyone in your group will enjoy a day or night out on the town, checking out the nearby beach towns for shopping and dining. The busy surf town of Tamarindo offers lots of shopping so you can bring home the perfect souvenirs from your trip. There’s also several dining options, including beachfront Pangas – our favorite! In nearby Langosta Beach, you can chill out at the upscale Beach Club, and at Avellanas Beach we recommend Lola’s for that authentic Costa Rican beach bar experience, complete with a roaming pet pig!
