Planning a Bachelor Party in Jaco
Costa Rica has long been America’s favorite getaway destination. It does not disappoint, with vast rainforests connected by zip lines, 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 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 vacation destination, but is a Costa Rica bachelorette party or bachelor party just as good?
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 to describe the electrical power of Jaco nightlife. This beach town knows how to party, 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, hip-hop, and themed nights, and the dance floor is always buzzing with energy. Check-in with them for special parties with all-night free drinks or free entry for ladies.
Jaco Blu
It is 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, this venue 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, and 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 is this club, which is open Wednesday through Sunday. Every night is ladies’ night here. The go-go dancers offer a rich and unique clubbing experience, and you’ll find drink specials throughout the week. This is another great spot for bachelor and bachelorette parties!
