Tabacon Hot Springs

The mineral waters at Tabacon Hot Springs originate near the base of the Arenal Volcano and flow through a thermal river over waterfalls into more than 20 different thermal pools. They're the only natural pools of any nearby hot springs and you'll feel it as you soak in thermal waters among volcanic rocks leftover from Arenal's eruptions. Tabacon's home to 2 restaurants, 3 bars and the Grand Spa – considered part of the Leading Spas in the World since 2007.
