Where Love Slows Down
Some places are made for adventure.
Playa Los Vivos Beach Experience was made for connection.
Hidden close to Santa Teresa and reached only by a short three-minute boat ride, Playa Los Vivos is one of those rare places where time stretches and the world softens.
For couples, it’s the kind of escape that reminds you what matters — quiet mornings, laughter at sunset, and long dinners under the stars.
Here, romance isn’t scripted or staged. It’s natural, effortless, and deeply real.
1. A Private Beach Without the Crowds
Forget the busy beaches and traffic of Santa Teresa.
At Playa Los Vivos, you’ll find tranquil waters, golden sand, and absolute privacy.
Because it’s accessible only by boat, there are no cars, vendors, or crowds — just you, your partner, and the rhythm of the ocean.
You can walk barefoot for hours, swim together in calm turquoise water, or simply sit in silence watching the tide move.
Every corner of Los Vivos feels like it was designed for two — intimate, peaceful, and endlessly romantic.
2. A Legacy of Love and Authentic Hospitality
Playa Los Vivos began as a labor of love between Honey and the late Heart Akerson, two locals who built this haven by hand and heart.
Today, their son leads the property with the same warmth and authenticity that his parents were known for, welcoming couples from around the world to share in that legacy.
The energy of Los Vivos carries their spirit — a blend of deep care, genuine hospitality, and timeless simplicity that makes every couple feel instantly at home.
You don’t just stay here; you’re welcomed into a family story that continues to grow.
3. Accommodations Designed for Tranquility
The rooms and bungalows at Playa Los Vivos are made for slowing down.
Open-air layouts invite the ocean breeze inside, soft natural light fills the space, and at night, you fall asleep to the sound of waves just steps away.
Mornings begin with coffee on the terrace and ocean views. Afternoons are for hammocks, shade, and conversation that doesn’t need words.
There’s no need for luxury to feel luxurious — comfort here comes from peace, privacy, and presence.
4. Oceanfront Dining with Heart
Few things bring people closer than sharing a meal — and at Los Vivos, every dish feels personal.
The kitchen serves produce and herbs from Honey Akerson’s organic gardens, harvested nearby and prepared fresh each day. Local fishermen bring the daily catch straight to the shore.
Meals are served open-air, with ocean views, candles, and the sound of the sea. Dinner might be grilled mahi-mahi, tropical salad, or fruit with lime and honey — simple food made extraordinary by freshness and care.
Each meal is a love letter to Costa Rica — and a reminder that the best moments are often the simplest.
5. Sunsets Made for Two
Sunsets at Playa Los Vivos are nothing short of magic.
As the sky turns shades of orange, pink, and violet, couples gather along the beach — or find their own quiet spot to watch in peace.
There’s no noise, no rush, no reason to move. Just the sound of the waves, the warmth of your partner beside you, and the kind of beauty that makes you hold hands without even thinking about it.
At Los Vivos, that’s exactly how it feels — personal, shared, and unforgettable.
6. Shared Adventures, Soft Memories
For couples who like a touch of adventure, Playa Los Vivos offers plenty to explore — all at your own pace.
- Kayaks and Stand-Up Paddleboards: Glide together across calm waters and watch the coastline from a new perspective.
- Isla Tortuga Day Trips: Snorkel side by side in clear blue water, then share a beach picnic on a tropical island.
- Bioluminescent Boat Tours: Witness the ocean glow at night — a romantic and once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Back at Los Vivos, relaxation comes easy — palmssway, the bar serves tropical cocktails, and the only plan that matters is enjoying each other’s company.
7. The Art of Doing Nothing
The beauty of Playa Los Vivos is that you don’t have to fill your days.
Some of the best memories here come from not making plans — quiet walks, shared naps, ocean swims, and long talks with your feet in the sand.
With no roads or crowds, you can be fully present — together.
It’s the kind of stillness that modern life rarely allows, and every couple leaves wishing they had stayed just one more day.
8. Evenings Under the Stars
When night falls, Playa Los Vivos glows softly under candlelight and moonlight.
Dinner turns into slow conversation, drinks stretch into laughter, and eventually, you’ll look up to find the Milky Way stretching across the sky.
With no city lights nearby, the stars are brighter, the air feels clearer, and time seems to disappear.
Couples say this is when Los Vivos feels most magical — not because of what’s happening, but because of what’s not. No rush. No noise. Just peace.
9. A Love Story in Every Stay
Every couple who stays at Playa Los Vivos leaves with a story — a proposal under a full moon, an anniversary dinner by the ocean, or simply a week spent rediscovering one another.
That’s the spirit Honey and Heart built this place on — love for each other, for community, and for the beauty of Costa Rica. Their son now carries that love forward, welcoming every guest to experience it for themselves.
Here, romance doesn’t feel forced. It feels natural — like it’s always been part of the ocean, waiting for you to arrive.
10. Come for the View, Stay for Each Other
Playa Los Vivos isn’t just a place to visit — it’s a place to connect.
The sunsets, the meals, the quiet — they all lead to the same simple truth: when life slows down, love comes into focus.
So come for the view.
Stay for the feeling.
Because at Playa Los Vivos Beach Experience, every stay is a reminder that the best love stories aren’t found in luxury — they’re found in simplicity, sincerity, and the shared rhythm of the sea.
