Fore! The Westin Reserva Conchal Might Just Be the Ultimate Bachelor(ette) Golf Getaway
If your idea of a perfect pre-wedding trip involves sunshine, sand, and a little friendly competition, The Westin Reserva Conchal in Costa Rica might be calling your name along with your nine-iron.
Set along the turquoise coast of Guanacaste, this all-inclusive golf resort and spa somehow balances luxury with laid-back adventure. It is the kind of place where a groom’s crew can spend the day chasing birdies while the bridal party relaxes at the Heavenly Spa. Or the other way around, because self-care is for everyone.
Why It’s Perfect for a Group Getaway
Planning a joint bachelor-bachelorette trip or even separate ones in the same destination is surprisingly easy here. The resort spans more than 2,000 acres of tropical bliss with 406 suites, so everyone can have their own space while still feeling connected.
Because it is all-inclusive, there is no need to worry about who owes who for the next round of cocktails. Poolside drinks, sunset dinners, and late-night snacks are all part of the experience.
A resort-wide shuttle makes it easy to get around, whether you are coming back from golf, the spa, or a swim in the ocean. Meeting up for happy hour is effortless, even for large groups.
The Star of the Show: The Golf Course
Designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., the Reserva Conchal Golf Course is an 18-hole masterpiece that feels more like a nature documentary than a round of golf. The greens roll through tropical forest with glimpses of the Pacific, while howler monkeys provide the commentary.
Certified by Audubon International for its sustainability, the course keeps nature front and centre. Each hole has its own personality. The par-3 17th dares you to clear a lagoon, while the finishing hole offers a dramatic end worthy of a round of applause.
Whether your group takes the game seriously or just enjoys the view from the cart, the course delivers the kind of setting that makes every swing memorable.
For the Non-Golfers (or Half-Day Golfers)
Not everyone in the group needs to keep score. The Heavenly Spa by Westin offers hydrotherapy circuits, open-air treatment rooms, and massages that can turn anyone into a spa convert.
There is also an enormous lagoon-style pool, tennis and pickleball courts, and direct access to Playa Conchal, known for its sand made of crushed seashells. It feels like walking on a natural foot scrub.
And yes, there is a swim-up bar.
Eat, Drink, Repeat
Group dining is easy here. With multiple restaurants and themed nights from sushi to steakhouse, every craving is covered. Reserve an evening at Cauri Fusion Restaurant & Lounge for cocktails and sunset views that rival any wedding photo.
If you are looking for local flavour, the nearby town of Brasilito serves up authentic Costa Rican charm and ice-cold Imperials that make for an ideal casual night out.
How to Make It the Ultimate Trip
Reserve tee times early so the whole group can play together.
Split your itinerary: one golf day, one spa or pool day, one night dedicated to celebration.
Plan one signature dinner for everyone to toast the couple and the countdown to “I do.”
Capture a group photo on the 17th hole or the beach at sunset.
Final Thoughts
Whether you are planning a bachelor weekend filled with golf and whiskey or a bachelorette escape with sunshine and spa time, The Westin Reserva Conchal hits every note.
It is stylish without being stuffy and relaxed without losing its polish. The drinks are cold, the greens are pristine, and the memories are guaranteed to last long after the tan fades.
So trade your to-do list for a tee time, swap stress for sunshine, and start the celebration early. This is the kind of getaway that sets the tone for a lifetime of great adventures and a few friendly rematches.
