Energy, Elements & Rainforest Wellness
Set at the base of Arenal Volcano, Tabacón Thermal Resort & Spa is a lush escape where rainforest, rivers, and hot springs come together in perfect harmony. Here, nature takes the lead — and healing flows as freely as the thermal waters.
Tucked into the jungle canopy, rooms and suites offer intimate views of volcanic peaks and gardens alive with birdsong. Dining blends bold Costa Rican flavors with wellness-focused freshness, using ingredients sourced from nearby farms and forests.
Wellness is an immersive journey — from riverside rituals and natural mineral soaks to spa treatments housed in open-air rainforest bungalows.
Highlight: A twilight soak in a cascading hot spring — surrounded by flickering torches, tropical mist, and volcanic silence.
