- GardenTabacon Thermal Resort & Spa newest luxury area is the private, lush Shangri-La Gardens. In a secluded area in the upper part of the mineral springs complex, the garden is the new "it" place for discriminating guests and luxury spa vacationers. It's also the perfect area to unwind after a holistic treatment at the Grand Spa and to enjoy cocktails and refreshments, served to you by the garden's own butlers.
Shangri-La Gardens is an area of lush gardens and six natural thermal mineral spring water pools, heated naturally by the nearby Arenal Volcano. Exclusively for adults and hotel guests. - General *- Yoga Classes
- Pool
The Tabacon experience at the Arenal Volcano centers on the hot thermal springs, pools and the Grand Spa. The main sunbathing and swimming area features five pools with temperatures ranging from 25 to 38 degrees C (77 to 102 F), the main one with a swim-up bar and thermal water slide. The pools on the lower section offer a more secluded ambiance with spectacular volcano and rainforest views, and they are also within the main service area of the Arenal Swim-Up Bar.
Tabacon features four additional pools, a cold-water one set in the rainforest, two specifically for our Grand Spa guests, and a third as a cold alternative between the hot springs in the tropical gardens. These pools are strategically located along the walking trails of the gardens and provide a nice relaxing break from the explorations of the flowers and plants, and the surprisingly regular wildlife sightings.
- Spa
The Tabacon Grand Spa Experience starts with the natural hydrotherapy provided by the hot springs and waterfalls, naturally heated and fed by the Arenal Volcano. The minerals dissolved in our springs are known to relax and heal, giving you an unusual and beneficial experience. In our relaxation area, you'll find a co-ed Jacuzzi pool and rest areas. You can enjoy tea and smoothies before you set off for an individual or couples' treatment. The open-air bungalows come in various sizes, some designed for one person other for two persons. Each bungalow has an open-air Jacuzzi with water from the thermal mineral spring water, and is complemented by outside whirlpools and streams
* Fees may apply
Nestled in the heart of the Costa Rican tropical rainforest in a truly mystical setting at the base of the Arenal Volcano, Tabacon provides luxurious accommodations with inspired new designs and a fresh service philosophy accompanied with elevated standards. The resort´s unique healing thermal mineral spring river emerges from the volcanic Earth, forming Costa Rica´s largest network of naturally flowing hot springs. Explore Shangri-La Gardens, the perfect hideaway (exclusively for our hotel guests over 18 years of age), delight your senses with world-class cuisine inspired by local fares, or experience a memorable spa treatment in an open air bungalow.

Aug 28, 2026A true 5 Star ⭐️ Experience
From the minute you arrive u will feel that you have entered a different world. The way this hotel has integrated itself into a rainforest is something you must experience for yourself. It was a perfect vacation and we picked the perfect resort. We can’t wait to come back to Tabacon.

A-Ma-Zing Stay
We really enjoyed out stay at Tabacon. Ive been to Costa Rica before but never to La Fortuna and the hotel surpassed my expectations. Beautiful location but most importantly, amazing staff. Jenny at the Lobby Bar was outstanding as well as very interesting to chat with her. We also met Delian and Brayan, bartenders very well trained in Luxury Service. They both were great to get to know. I would like to shout out to Esteban and the hostess at the Breakfast restaurant, she always addressed my and my partner by name. When a review includes the names of your staff, that itself let you know what great impression they left over us. I hope this message gets to them along with a great recognition for enliven the culture and your property.
