Planning a Bachelor Party in Jaco
Costa Rica has been America’s favorite getaway destination for a long time. It does not disappoint, from vast rainforests connected by zip lines to hiking trails that lead to crystal blue lagoons and hot springs under sleeping volcanoes. Jaco is arguably the most popular beach town known for its killer surf waves and is always full of adventure enthusiasts.
The buzzing extreme sports on the west and the golden beaches of the east are connected by dense forests in between that offer canyoning, ziplining, and breathtaking views of waterfalls amid nature. It sounds like a dream destination for vacation, but is a Costa Rica Bachelorette Party or Bachelor Party just as good?
Well, as the sun sets over the beautiful western horizon, the buzzing energy of the outdoors seems to almost transport itself into the indoors. This is the best way we can describe the electrical power of the Jaco nightlife. This beach town knows how to party, which is probably why many consider it the number two destination for bachelor parties.
The A to Z of the best places to party in Jaco
Black Marlin
Black Marlin Beach Club throws some of the most sensational parties in Jaco. The most popular nights are the reggae nights, hip-hop nights, and themed nights, and you will always find the dance floor buzzing with energy. Check in with them for special parties with all-night free drinks or free entry for ladies.
Jaco Blu
One of our favorite beach clubs by day and night clubs by night. The outdoor lounge spins some of the best tunes and offers discounted drink specials throughout the day. The eye candy is a total bonus, and if you survive a weekend of partying, don’t miss the Sunday Pool Party here either.
Le Loft
One of the only places in Jaco known to have a 24 hour liquor permit – so naturally, this place is famous for hosting parties that go on until the sun comes up. It even offers VIP rooms and offers for those in the mood to splurge a little. Bonus, this venue is almost always the last stop on most bar crawls in the area.
ManCave
They were conceptualized as a 1920s speakeasy featuring Jaco’s best DJs spinning everything from commercial, hip-hop, dance music, and reggaeton. This venue is the ideal hotspot for VIP bottle service for large groups.
Orange Pub
Potentially the largest venue in Jaco, this place is enormous! A great place to party, the music is always great, the drinks are constantly flowing, the go-go dancers light up the areas around the bar – a guaranteed great night
XTC
One more favorite right in the heart of the town, this club is open Wednesday thru Sunday, and every night is ladies’ night here. The go-go dancers offer a rich and unique clubbing experience, and you’ll find drink specials all through the week. Another great spot for bachelor and bachelorette parties!
