Signature Venues

Weddings at Copa de Arbol are fully customizable, with multiple breathtaking spaces to choose from across the property. Couples may exchange vows directly on the beach, with the ocean as their backdrop, or within our open-air Miramar Restaurant, an elegant, beachfront structure crafted from rich teak wood and crowned by a soaring palm-thatched roof that blends architectural beauty with natural design.

For those drawn to a more elevated perspective, our two-story yoga shala rises above the rainforest, offering layered platforms, jungle immersion, and distant ocean views that create a truly magical setting. When hosting a wedding at Copa de Arbol, the property becomes exclusively yours, allowing you and your guests to fully inhabit the space. We are also happy to assist in coordinating photographers and creative partners to bring your vision to life.

Weddings and Honeymoon FAQs

Is Copa De Arbol RIght For Me?

A small luxury eco-resort Copa De Arbol is specifically designed and located to cater to the traveler seeking an “off-the-beaten-path” rainforest and ocean experience. The resort is accessed by boat only, with wet beach landings that can be challenging at times. We also remind guests that we are in the jungle – which means there is a lot of wildlife, some dangerous, most magnificent. Copa De Arbol is a total escape from the outside world. Once you arrive, you will be immersed in your own private, tropical wilderness – no roads, cars, discos, shopping malls or supermarkets. Just you, the ocean, the wildlife, and the rainforest. Are you ready to escape?

Things You Need To Know Before You Leave For Copa De Arbol?

PASSPORT

All foreign citizens entering Costa Rica must have a passport that is valid for at least six months after the date they leave the country. Citizens of the United States, Canada and many other countries do not need visas to enter Costa Rica. Citizens of countries other than the United States, Canada and the European Economic Community should check with the nearest Costa Rican Embassy or Consulate.

How Do You Get To Costa Rica?

FLYING

Most flights into Costa Rica fly into Juan Santamaria International Airport (SJO). The airport is located 20 kilometers from central San Jose. Another international airport in Liberia is also an option and it is located further north in Guanacaste.

Depending on your arrival time to SJO, you may have to spend the night in San Jose and catch a connecting flight to Drake Bay the next day. If your flight arrives in the early morning you may be able to make a connecting flight the same day. Keep in mind that baggage, customs and immigration could take up to an hour or more (although it is usually quite fast).

We can recommend a hotel for your overnight in San Jose as well as arrange a taxi to pick you up from your international flight.

How To Leave Costa Rica?

AIRPORT

For international flights, it is recommended that you arrive at the airport 2 hours prior to departure as you will have to pay the departure tax of $28USD, verify paperwork, and deal with baggage inspection in addition to regular check-in procedures.

I Need To Know About Gratuity?

TIPPING

Restaurant: As an all-inclusive resort, our restaurant staff is not dependent on tips from our Cabina guests for the meals served, That said, if the service was extra attentive, feel free to tip. A 10% gratuity, as well as a 13% state tax, will be added to all extras such as sodas, cocktails and food sold in the restaurant, which is the standard throughout Costa Rica.

Hotels: Customary tipping protocol applies to luggage handling and housekeeping. Luggage is typically $1 per bag, more if there are stairs or a bit of a walk. $1/day is a good guideline for housekeeping, more if there are more than 2 people, or if you are particularly untidy.

You will be able to include and pay for any staff tips with your final checkout, though US dollars are always welcome as tips.

Which Currency Works?

MONEY MATTERS

We accept US dollars, Costa Rican colones, and most credit cards for all payments at the resort. We do not accept travelers’ checks.

There are no ATMs in Drake Bay, and your last opportunity to exchange or withdraw cash will be at the airport in San Jose unless you are traveling to other parts of the country prior to your trip to Drake Bay.

In most small towns as well as throughout San Jose you will find Costa Rican banks with ATM machines.
