One Last Toast, A New Beginning: The perfect I-Do Sendoff in Costa Rica
Before the vows, there’s one last getaway, a chance to gather your favorite people and celebrate love, friendship, and everything that led to this moment. Take in a sun-soaked sendoff with your closest crew or a laid-back celebration filled with adventure. Las Catalinas Doorway makes it effortless to plan a meaningful, memory-filled escape.
With its walkable beachside charm, luxury stays, and tailor-made adventures for every kind of crew, Las Catalinas is where your sendoff celebration turns into a story worth retelling. And getting here? A breeze. Guanacaste International Airport (LIR) is less than an hour away, with direct flights from cities across North America—Atlanta, Boston, Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, Miami, Minneapolis, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Seattle, San Francisco, San José (Costa Rica), and Vancouver.
From the moment you arrive, Las Catalinas sets the tone for something special. This scenic, car-free town along Costa Rica’s gold coast was designed for togetherness, where cobblestone streets lead to ocean-view plazas, forest trails, and golden beaches.
Everything is walkable, making it simple to explore side by side—yoga at sunrise, cocktails at sunset, or a golden-hour stroll that turns into dinner under the stars. The atmosphere is relaxed, refined, and welcoming to all kinds of groups. Classic celebrations or celebratory events completely your own are ideal with lifelong friends or a beautifully diverse crew, every guest is supported and genuinely celebrated.
This isn’t a town for all-night clubs or loud scenes. The rhythm here is more intentional—sunset toasts, private rooftop gatherings, and long conversations by the firepit. The only thing that’s over the top? The memories.
Stay, Celebrate, and Savor Together

With Las Catalinas Doorway as your planning partner, everything begins with the perfect place to stay. From ocean-view villas with rooftop terraces to side-by-side homes that let everyone stay close while still having space, each property is hand-picked and ready upon arrival, stocked with fresh fruit, local coffee, cocktail ingredients, or even a welcome meal prepared by a private chef.
Stylish homes like Casa Azul, with its multiple suites and indoor-outdoor living, are ideal for mid-size groups. Larger gatherings might choose Casa Brewer with extra bedrooms, pools, and lounging spaces perfect for evening celebrations. If your group prefers hotel-style ease, Santarena Hotel offers elegant rooms, a rooftop plunge pool, and Beach Club access—all steps from the ocean.
Of course, it’s not just about where you stay, it’s how you celebrate. With expert support from Las Catalinas Doorway, your itinerary can be as relaxing or adventurous as you’d like. Start your mornings with a meditation session or a forest hike, then paddleboard in the bay or wander through town’s boutiques and cafés. In the afternoon, unwind with a spa treatment, a beach picnic, or simply lounge by the pool with your favorite people.
As the sun sets, evenings come alive with ease and intention. Picture a private catamaran cruise, a chef-led cooking class, or a beautifully plated dinner on your terrace. Sip mezcal around the firepit, enjoy a wine tasting that lingers into the night, or toast under a canopy of stars. Whatever the setting, the vibe remains grounded and elegant—always flowing, never forced.
