Costa Rica’s Iconic Natural Hot Springs
Experiencing the Essence of Nature
Flowing from the base of Arenal Volcano, Tabacón is home to the only natural thermal river in the region. Heated naturally by volcanic activity, the river emerges rich in minerals and winds through tropical gardens, forming waterfalls and pools ranging from 72 to 100°F (22–38°C). This is natural hydrotherapy at its purest untreated, unaltered, and constantly renewed.
Guests enjoy unlimited access to the river during their stay, along with exclusive entry to Shangri-La Gardens, an adults-only hideaway designed for relaxation, privacy, and connection with nature.
