Guanacaste Weddings
RIU Palace Costa Rica Weddings
Featuring the characteristic wonders of tropical beaches, set against the distinctive landscapes of mountains, arid savanna plains, and even inactive volcanos, RIU Palace Costa Rica is a one-of-a-kind backdrop to have the destination wedding journey of your dreams.
If your heart is not only filled to the brim with love for your soon-to-be spouse, but also thrums to the rhythm of adventure, look no further than the rolling landscapes of Guanacaste. After a picture-perfect wedding ceremony on the sandy shores of Matapolo Beach, a whole host of exciting activities and excursions await you and your guests.
With plains and dry forests stretching inland, taking a trip to Guanacaste proper is a must for any explorer looking to immerse themselves in the local culture of their destination. These Savana terrains are home to the iconic local Sabanero, or Costa Rican cowboys. These cattle-ranching communities are entirely unique and offer travelers a special local culture to experience. From there, joining up with an eco-tour of the local Arenal Volcano will scratch that explorative itch. After all of that venturing and activity, the resort grounds offer a relaxing oasis to unwind.
With luxury spa treatments, all-inclusive restaurants and cafes, and 24-hour room service, this stress-free palace offers a haven and home base for any adventuring wedding couple.
