Top Ten Honeymoon Spas in Costa Rica

Honeymoons are the perfect chance to take some time out, relax, and enjoy a spa treatment. And not just any old massage! These days, spas offer a myriad of specialty and luxury options for both couples and time on your own.

Costa Rica, famed for green living and the environment, is no exception. In fact, the country offers some truly unique spa options for honeymooners. Here are our favorites:
