Tabacón Thermal Resort & Spa
Tabacón is defined by its natural setting. A thermal river, heated by the Arenal Volcano, flows directly through the resort, forming a series of warm pools and cascading waterfalls surrounded by dense rainforest.
Life here follows the rhythm of the landscape — time spent in the mineral-rich waters, walking through tropical gardens, and being immersed in the sounds and stillness of the forest. The experience is simple, grounded and closely connected to nature.
Location
Tabacón is located in northern Costa Rica, approximately 13 km from La Fortuna, at the base of the Arenal Volcano — one of the country’s most iconic природних регіонів.
The surrounding area is known for its rainforest, waterfalls and rich biodiversity, with wildlife such as monkeys, sloths and tropical birds commonly found nearby. The setting feels lush and alive, yet calm and spacious.
The resort can be reached in approximately 2.5 to 3 hours by car from San José or Liberia airports. Alternatively, guests can take a domestic flight to La Fortuna followed by a short transfer to the property.
