Retreat into the resort’s exclusive adults-only garden sanctuary, reserved for eligible hotel guests. Surrounded by tropical foliage, warm water and private resting spaces, Shangri-La is made for couples and adults seeking a quieter, more intimate thermal experience.

Experience treatments in open-air bungalows surrounded by flowing water, birdsong and tropical vegetation. Tabacón’s wellness philosophy draws on volcanic clay, cacao, coffee, honey, aloe, tropical fruits and local botanicals, bringing Costa Rica’s natural richness into each ritual.

Reconnect breath and movement during an open-air yoga session surrounded by rainforest. Guided by certified instructors, this experience complements the thermal river and spa by creating a quiet moment of balance, awareness and embodied connection.

Move slowly through naturally heated mineral water as it flows between volcanic stone, tropical plants, waterfalls and secluded pools. Across the thermal landscape, water temperatures and atmospheres change naturally, allowing you to find everything from sociable pools to quiet rainforest corners. Hotel guests receive unlimited access during their stay.

Join a knowledgeable naturalist for a guided journey through Tabacón’s private reserve. Learn about medicinal plants, orchids, exotic birds, rainforest biodiversity and the resort’s work to protect the ecosystem surrounding the thermal river.

Discover the destination through refined Costa Rican dining, coffee tasting, healthy cooking experiences and private culinary moments. From fresh regional ingredients at Ave to tasting menus at Tucanes and secluded rainforest dining, food becomes another way to understand the land.
