Experience Costa Rica Like Our Couples Did on Season 10 of ‘Bachelor in Paradise’
Pura Vida!
Costa Rica is the perfect place to get away and fall in love. From large forests and mountain slopes to miles of tropical coastline with golden and pink beaches and black volcanic grains, you’ll truly feel like you’re in paradise here. During their time on “Bachelor in Paradise,” all of our Bachelor Nation couples couldn’t imagine a better place as they searched for love and romance. Costa Rica reserves more than a quarter of its land for conservation and is home to 6 percent of the world’s species, so there is plenty of natural undisturbed beauty to enjoy. Plus, the country sits between the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean, creating a welcoming and tropical atmosphere. How beautiful!
Costa Rica also combines modern infrastructure with natural resources to create a more balanced lifestyle and sustainable tourism. When you visit, you can experience the country’s incredible culture filled with delicious cuisine, vibrant music, and fascinating art, along with local farms and one of the five global Blue Zones — hot spots of healthy longevity. So, if you and your boo want to take the trip of a lifetime, check out our recommendations below to experience Costa Rica like a true Bachelor Nation star!

Jess’ engagement ring is the perfect addition to her and Spencer’s “Paradise” love story that is truly one of a kind.
