Costa Rica’s Arenal volcano creates a dramatic backdrop for Tabacon Grand Spa Thermal Resort.
After sitting dormant for over 400 years, the Arenal volcano in Costa Rica’s rainforest region of Fortuna de San Carlos erupted in 1968; today, it is one of the world’s ten most active—but harmless—volcanoes. Its daily lava displays and nighttime light shows create the dramatic backdrop for Tabacon Grand Spa Thermal Resort. The resort, whose rooms make the most of the spectacular setting, is a wellness seeker's dream destination. You sense a strong bond with nature, and all treatments at the Grand Spa are performed in one of eleven outdoor rooms that were designed to incorporate the smells of the rainforest and murmurs of the famed hot springs. Volcano-heated water is used in the hot tubs and guests can try the traditional Temazcal, a detoxifying ritual performed in a sweat lodge.
