Tabacon was inaugurated in late 1997, with 42 comfortable guest rooms. This marked the official beginning of Arenal as an international destination. Today the resort embraces 900 acres of lush tropical reserve, home to Costa Rica’s largest network of naturally flowing hot springs with a world-class hospitality experience.

The spa experience at Tabacon offers what is truly the most perfect match between spa design and nature. Spa treatments are rendered al-fresco in outdoors bungalows tucked away among the trees. The scents of the rainforest become an essential part of your wellness experience blending perfectly with the ubiquitous sounds of wildlife and the relaxing hot springs sounds.

Tabacon offers memorable dining experiences in an open air, full-service ambience surrounded by the untouched tropical rainforest of the Arenal Volcano Region. Our chefs and culinary team masterfully blend local flavors, traditional recipes, and international cuisine to create innovative plates that evoke local traditions and utilize regional ingredients.
