The Springs Resort Arenal occupies a privileged position on the forested slopes above Lake Arenal in the Alajuela province of Costa Rica, with direct sightlines to Arenal Volcano — one of the most visually dramatic active volcanoes in Central America. The resort is designed to make that landscape the constant backdrop to every bathing moment, with a cascade of pools descending through the tropical forest at different elevations.

The geothermal springs feeding the resort produce bicarbonate-rich water at 40 °C, with a well-balanced neutral pH of 7.4 that makes for a particularly gentle and comfortable immersion. The warmth of the water against the humid, fragrant air of the rainforest creates a sensory layering that is distinctly Costa Rican — howler monkeys, toucans, and the distant rumble of the volcano are all part of the experience. The Springs Resort has established itself as one of the benchmark thermal destinations in Central America, combining the raw vitality of the Arenal landscape with genuine spring water of volcanic origin.

Insider tip — Treat yourself to a thermal break at Springs Resort Arenal, where the bicarbonate water reaches 40°C.
