Billionaire Newlyweds Land in Costa Rica’s Elite Playground
If you thought the Ambani wedding was the peak of extravagance, think again. Fresh from a Mumbai celebration that’s estimated to have cost upwards of $600 million, Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant are keeping the luxury rolling—their honeymoon destination? Costa Rica’s ridiculously exclusive Four Seasons resort, Casa Las Olas, tucked away in the golden Guanacaste region.
The couple landed in Costa Rica on August 1, as confirmed by local migration officials—a detail that instantly set tongues wagging. Their honeymoon digs aren’t your average suite; we’re talking about a *six-bedroom* private villa that takes up a sprawling 18,475 square feet. For reference, that’s bigger than most U.S. mansions. From a 100-foot infinity pool to round-the-clock private chef service, they’re living in a world few can even imagine. There’s even a custom play area for any visiting families with children, showing this resort leaves no luxury unchecked.
Nightly rates at Casa Las Olas start at a jaw-dropping $23,000 and can spike past $30,000 depending on the season. Yes, per night. These numbers would wilt any regular credit card, but for the Ambanis, it's chump change.
From Olympic Spotlights to Tropical Seclusion
The glamorous retreat comes right after the newlyweds brushed elbows with sports world royalty at the Paris Olympics. They attended the games alongside Mukesh and Nita Ambani—Anant's parents—who have high Olympic ties, especially with Nita serving on the International Olympic Committee.
The sequence of high-profile public appearances, from their opulent wedding in Mumbai in July to a sporting spectacle in Paris, hints at the power couple’s ability to effortlessly switch from global spotlight to hushed privacy. The wedding in Mumbai itself was a spectacle filled with fireworks, A-list Bollywood stars, international celebrities, and heads of state packing the guest list.
The choice of Costa Rica may seem unexpected, but for the ultra-wealthy looking to avoid paparazzi and unwind in comfort, the country’s Pacific coast has become a hotspot. The Four Seasons’ Casa Las Olas, with its dramatic ocean views and total privacy, fits the bill for both escape and opulence. Resort guests get a fully-staffed kitchen, on-call butlers, spa services, and access to everything from yacht rentals to private yoga, all wrapped up in one of Central America’s most scenic locations.
Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s honeymoon marks another grand chapter in a year that’s already put their names in headlines from Mumbai to Monte Carlo. After all, when your definition of a ‘getaway’ makes the Costa Rican government sit up and take notice, you’re operating at a whole new level of fame and fortune.
