Dreaming of a destination wedding or a special celebration in Costa Rica?
While there are countless venues to choose from, the Boutique Surf Hotel RipJack Inn might just be your perfect match. Nestled steps from the beach in Playa Grande, our charming boutique hotel has become a beloved destination for weddings, retreats, reunions, and milestone events. And we think we have a strong case as to why!

We LOVE love and we love celebrating life’s big moments. Whether you’re planning a barefoot beachfront wedding, a soulful yoga retreat, a birthday celebration, or a corporate getaway with a splash of tropical charm, we’re here to help you bring your vision to life. Our team delights in crafting unforgettable experiences filled with warmth, creativity, and pura vida spirit.

Here are five reasons why RipJack Inn is an incredible venue for weddings and other events:

Location 

The RipJack Inn is located directly across from the beach in the beautiful town of Playa Grande. The only time the beach is actually busy is when the tide is mid to high, and when there is swell in the water, which is ideal for surfing. But even the surf crowd is contained to just a few areas along the very expansive stretch of sand and sea. Unlike Tamarindo, which is busy all the time and everywhere, a beach wedding in Playa Grande can be very private.

Ambiance 

Looking for a venue that feels both intimate and extraordinary? At RipJack Inn, you can reserve the entire property for your special event, creating a private, personalized experience just steps from the beach.

With our open-air restaurant, vibrant bar, and spacious poolside patio, we offer a seamless flow of spaces for every part of your celebration from welcome cocktails to dinner under the stars and dancing into the night. Whether you’re planning a wedding, anniversary, retreat, or reunion, RipJack Inn provides the perfect canvas for connection and joy.

The atmosphere here is effortlessly warm, relaxed, and full of heart ideal for gathering your favorite people and celebrating life’s most meaningful moments in style.

Convenience 

Celebrate steps from the sea then stroll back to RipJack Inn. After your beachfront ceremony or seaside gathering, you and your guests can simply walk back to RipJack Inn no shuttles, no stress, no extra costs. Our location makes transitions effortless, keeping the focus on celebration and connection.

With 21 thoughtfully appointed rooms and 4 private villas, we offer comfortable, stylish lodging for your core group. Hosting a larger event? No problem, there are plenty of vacation rentals within walking distance, making it easy to keep everyone close and connected.

Whether you’re planning a wedding, retreat, or reunion, RipJack Inn offers the rare combination of convenience, charm, and community, all in one unforgettable place.
