The Springs Resort and Spa Highlights

The Springs Resort & Spa is a world-class five-star luxury resort set high on the slopes north of Arenal Volcano, where 165 acres of pristine rainforest meet sophisticated elegance. This well acclaimed property seamlessly blends natural hot springs with refined amenities, creating an extraordinary escape that showcases Costa Rica's volcanic wonders at their finest.

Cascading Thermal Paradise with 18+ Natural Hot Springs

From the intimate Perdido Springs hidden in secluded jungle settings to the dramatic Las Lagunas with swim-up bar service, each of the resort's 18+ thermal pools offers a unique soaking experience. Water temperatures range from refreshing 83°F to therapeutic 103°F, all naturally heated by the volcano's geothermal activity and enriched with healing minerals.

Wildlife Sanctuary with Costa Rica's Rescued Jungle Royalty

In partnership with Costa Rica's Environmental Ministry (MINAE), The Springs operates an inspiring wildlife preserve where rescued pumas, ocelots, margays, jaguarundis, and other native species live in spacious natural habitats. Walk through the sanctuary independently or join a guided tour to meet these magnificent creatures up close while learning about conservation efforts that give these animals a second chance at life.

Mile-Long River Adventure Paradise

Club Rio Outdoor Center transforms adventure into art along a pristine stretch of the Arenal River. With eight different soft adventure activities including river tubing, kayaking, horseback riding, and rock climbing all in one location, nowhere else in Arenal can you experience this variety of activities at a single venue—making it perfect for families seeking convenience without compromise.
