Anita & Maclean’s Intimate Elopement at Golfo Dulce Retreat

 

Hidden between the rainforest and the waters of Golfo Dulce, Anita and Maclean chose one of the most secluded places in Costa Rica for their elopement.

Reaching Golfo Dulce Retreat is part of the experience itself—the property is accessible only by boat, surrounded by dense, untouched rainforest and the quiet of the gulf. Their wedding day unfolded slowly and simply, from getting ready in the middle of the jungle to exchanging vows beneath one of the enormous trees surrounding the retreat.

It was intimate, adventurous and completely immersed in nature—the kind of celebration where the place becomes part of the story.
