At a glance

The grounds form a private rainforest reserve, with the only natural thermal river flowing directly from the volcano running through the property. Mineral water runs through multiple pools and jacuzzis at temperatures between 72 and 100°F.

La Fortuna is a short drive away, with zip-lines, white-water rafting, horseback riding, and rappelling clustered around Arenal Volcano National Park. The adventure tourism infrastructure of the region is the strongest in Costa Rica.

Dining splits across six venues, with Tucanes leading on refined Costa Rican tasting menus and Agua Ardiente delivering cocktails from within the thermal waters. The spa operates from open-air bungalows alongside the river, with the adults-only Shangri-La Gardens offering exclusive access for guests who want quieter grounds.

In detail

Food and Drink

Dining splits across six venues, with Tucanes leading on refined Costa Rican à la carte and tasting menus. Ave keeps things relaxed for lunches and casual dinners.

Bars handle the rest: Caña Brava for tapas, Bosque for rainforest mixology, Shangri-La Gardens for Thai ceviche and wraps, and Agua Ardiente for swim-up drinks. Ephemeral Table adds a private six-course tasting menu.
Spa and Wellness

Tabacón’s spa operates from open-air rainforest bungalows alongside the thermal river. Treatments are built around Costa Rican ingredients including volcanic clay, cacao, coffee, and tropical botanicals.

The menu spans massages, wraps, facials, Ayurvedic therapies, and couples’ rituals, with all appointments including pre-treatment access to the thermal mineral jacuzzi and relaxation area. The setting itself is the differentiator.
Location

Tabacón sits at the base of Arenal Volcano in northern Costa Rica, just outside the town of La Fortuna. The grounds form a private rainforest reserve, with the only natural thermal river flowing directly from the volcano running through the property.

The setting puts guests within easy reach of La Fortuna’s zip-lines, white-water rafting, horseback riding, and rappelling. Liberia International Airport is around three hours by car; San José around three hours in the other direction.

Room Types

Private Pool Suite

The Private Pool Suite is the top adults-only option at Tabacón, running to 70 sqm with a private plunge pool fed by the resort’s thermal mineral waters. A dual rain shower and private terrace with rainforest and Arenal views complete the layout.

The right choice for couples wanting genuine seclusion with hot spring water on private call. Costa Rican design details run throughout.

Plan Your Journey

Orchid King Bed

The Orchid King Room covers 35 sqm and is designed for couples who want a rainforest setting without a suite upgrade. A king bed, natural-light rainforest shower with local stone floors, and garden or jungle views set the tone.

The living area includes a sofa bed and coffee service. A natural starting point at Tabacón for guests wanting the property’s setting without committing to the adults-only or pool suite categories.

Volcano View Suite

The Volcano View Suite is one of Tabacón’s adults-only categories at 70 sqm, designed primarily for couples. A deep soaking tub, dual rain shower, and private balcony with rainforest views are the headline features.

A solid option for honeymoons or anniversaries where privacy and setting matter most. The same 70 sqm footprint as the Private Pool Suite, without the plunge pool, at a lower price point.
