Tabacón Grand Spa - Thermal Resort is located at the foot of the Arenal Volcano, in the northern region of Costa Rica. A three-time World Travel Awards recipient and three-leaf Sustainable Tourism Certificate holder, the property offers luxurious accommodations and friendly service in a quaint tropical environment. The resort recently re-opened its Spa with new facilities and treatments where you can enjoy an unforgettable, relaxing experience. A world of amenities in the heart of the rain forest.

The Grand Spa offers a range of wet and dry treatments, including the signature Tabacón massage which begins with a series of bends and stretches to regulate the body's flow of vital energy, and concludes with volcanic mud vigorously massaged into the body. A Hot Stone massage combines warmed volcanic stones with eucalyptus, lemon and rosemary oils. Watsu and other water therapies are also available.

From the heart of the volcano spring fountains of thermomineral water which form the Tabacon River, running at a soothing 39C (102F), forming cascades and natural pools through exotic tropical gardens, and flowing into our pools, to guarantee an unforgettable sensation.

The Tabacón Hot Springs perfectly combine mineral content, volume and temperature. While there are many hot springs destinations around the world, few offer this special balance set in a splendorous natural paradise.
