Tabacón Grand Spa Thermal Resort is nestled in primary rainforest within the protected Arenal Volcano National Park in Costa Rica.
The resort's unique hot thermal mineral springs emerge directly from the volcano cascading to form waterfalls, streams, tranquil pools and ponds surrounded by lavish tropical gardens within the resort's property. The Tabacon hot springs perfectly combine mineral content, volume and temperature.
Tabacón Grand Spa Thermal Resort is the first five star property in Costa Rica’s Northern region. Committed to sustainable tourism it is certified for its environmental and social responsible practices.
The Grand Spa takes advantage of its prime location in the rainforest, the thermal mineral waters and the active volcano to offer therapies and treatments that are highly energetic and holistic including invigorating hydrotherapy therapies, volcanic mud therapies, special massages and skin-care treatments. Tabacon also offers concentration and tranquillity techniques in group or private yoga sessions and the ancient contemplative therapy of Temazcal led by a Shaman.
Temazcal is a pre-Hispanic steam bath ritual that is widely used in Mesoamerican cultures, intended as both a spiritual and physical cleansing experience. The experience takes place in a womb-like structure, where energy from the center of the earth and from all four winds is summoned and flows in circular motion, in direct relation to the natural elements which make up this magical place: Earth, Water, Fire and Air.
