Transporting you to another world, the spa’s thatched-roof open-air cabanas are as lush as they are languorous. Treatments are powered by natural and local ingredients including coffee, volcanic mud, pineapple, avocado and thermo-mineral water. Cabanas come with two beds, the perfect set up for couples massages.
With a spectacular network of hot springs on your doorstep, wellness is taken care of. The thermal waters range in temperature from 22°C to 40.5°C and offer natural hydrotherapy that increases blood circulation and oxygen flow.
From the very beginning Tabacón Thermal Resort & Spa has had a vision for a sustainable future and in 2009 it was certified as carbon-neutral. The hotel is 100% LED and its ongoing clean energy project includes the installation of solar panels. As guardians of an incredible natural setting, they have programmes in place that include environmental species tagging, reforestation and sustainable gastronomy. Their thermal waters are naturally heated by the volcano and mineralised underground whilst the spa uses local, natural and organic ingredients.
