On the shell-strewn sands of Playa Conchal, Guanacaste, luxurious Reserva Conchal offers couples the unique opportunity to play house in a privately owned condo or villa. The resort lies between tropical green and seasonal dry forests, bordered by the brilliant Pacific. Regulations protecting the environment have nurtured a habitat brimming with exotic wildlife and foliage.

Guests might spend the day snorkeling, zip-lining through the rainforest or exploring the beaches on horseback. Golfers can perfect their swing on the Robert Trent Jones II–designed course—keeping an eye out for monkeys and parrots along the way. After an active day, lovers can retreat home for a relaxing aromatherapy treatment or custom bath.

The resort is divided into four separate residential areas. All Bougainvillea Condominiums overlook the golf course and ocean, while luxury villas in Malinche or Villas del Mar also feature private pools. Each of the five-star dwellings is designed in contemporary colonial style and come with private kitchens and balconies.

Reserva Conchal promises couples an unforgettable wedding experience, with a professional coordinator seeing to every detail of the big day. Bridal packages include such special touches as a bouquet of flowers, chilled sparkling wine, a private starlit dinner and a sunset catamaran cruise.
