Thermal Springs & Shangri-La Gardens

Tabacon Thermal Resort & Spa offers complimentary access to Costa Rica's largest network of thermal springs, sourced from geothermal springs on-site. Hotel guests receive exclusive entry to Shangri-La Gardens, an adults-only area with its own bar and cabanas at the warmest part of the springs. The private thermal river experience is reserved solely for hotel guests, providing a secluded soak within the rainforest.

Spa & Wellness

The award-winning spa at Tabacon features treatments in private outdoor cabanas surrounded by the sounds of waterfalls. Guests can book a couples massage in a bungalow that includes access to a private hot tub before and after the session. The spa also offers a body wrap outdoors under a canopy, with included fresh drinks and post-treatment smoothies.

Dining

Tabacon Thermal Resort has two on-site restaurants: Los Tucanes near the main hotel and Ave del Paraiso at the thermal springs area. Los Tucanes offers a breakfast buffet with made-to-order stations and a dinner menu featuring Costa Rican and international cuisine.
