Tabacón Thermal Resort & Spa, a luminous five-star carbon-neutral haven nestled at the base of Costa Rica's majestic Arenal Volcano, entwines the untamed splendor of tropical rainforest with a symphony of nature, adventure, and serene luxury.

The 97 exquisitely appointed rooms and suites, adorned with modern décor, shimmer with air-conditioned elegance, featuring flat-screen cable TVs, coffee makers, minibars, and plush bathrooms with bathrobes, slippers, and complimentary toiletries. Suites boast spacious living areas, while many rooms unveil enchanting garden or rainforest views, crafting an idyllic sanctuary for couples, families, or wellness seekers. Complimentary Wi-Fi and free valet parking weave seamless connectivity and convenience into this eco-conscious retreat.

Los Tucanes and Ave del Paraiso restaurants ignite the senses with local and international gourmet cuisine, while the swim-up and lobby bars serve vibrant cocktails, including a welcome cocktail for guests. The Shangri-La Gardens, an adults-only hideaway, and The Spa, with open-air bungalows and private Jacuzzis, offer rejuvenating treatments amidst lush vegetation. Five thermal mineral spring pools, fed by a healing volcanic river cascading through waterfalls and tranquil ponds, invite relaxation, complemented by a sauna and massage services. Attentive concierge services curate bespoke adventures, from volcano tours and rappelling to hiking suspension bridges and rafting, amplifying the region's wild allure.

Perched 15 minutes' drive from Arenal Volcano National Park, 20 minutes from La Fortuna's main square, 1 hour from Venado Caves, and 2 hours from Juan Santamaría International Airport, Tabacón Thermal Resort & Spa offers unlimited access to its onsite hot springs and effortless connections to Costa Rica's rainforest treasures. This radiant haven ignites an exquisite fusion of eco-luxury and the vibrant pulse of Arenal's volcanic heart.
