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 22 and 38°C.

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.

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.
