In Tabacón, the hot, volcanically heated water flows naturally through the lush rainforest - a unique experience that is completely different from artificial thermal baths. Along the course of the river are numerous pools with different temperature zones, from pleasantly warm to deeply relaxing hot. Guests can choose between different areas depending on their preference and indulge in their own well-being. Surrounded by lush greenery, birdsong and gentle steam, this is a natural experience for all the senses.
The hot waterfalls, which cascade naturally over rock formations into the pools, are a particular highlight. The warm water gently massages your shoulders and back while your gaze wanders into the tropical leafy sky. Here, the power of nature and deep relaxation combine to create an experience that will stay with you for a long time. These natural waterfalls are not only visually impressive, but also have a revitalising and regenerating effect.
Tabacón's exclusive spa offers soothing treatments based on the natural healing power of thermal water and mineral volcanic earth.

The treatment rooms are nestled in tropical gardens and ensure maximum peace and privacy. This spa experience is perfect for discerning guests who want to enjoy wellness and nature at the highest level.
After dark, Tabacón is transformed into an atmospheric oasis full of magic. Soft lighting, rising steam and the gentle murmur of the thermal river create a romantic atmosphere that is rarely found anywhere else.

Whether as a couple or alone - the evening hours in Tabacón are among the most unforgettable moments of a trip through Costa Rica.

The hot springs of Tabacón originate from underground tributaries of the Arenal volcano, which has been known for centuries as a source of healing warmth. The current resort was founded in the 1990s with the aim of combining natural luxury and ecological sustainability. Intelligent water management, architectural restraint and natural design have resulted in a place that has received international recognition for its environmental friendliness and quality of service. Today, Tabacón is one of the most renowned thermal resorts in Latin America.
