The Springs Resort and Spa Costa Rica Luxury Amenities:

Ultra-Luxury Accommodations

Every room, suite, and villa at the property is positioned to guarantee an unobstructed view of the Arenal Volcano and includes:

• Private Balconies: Outfitted with custom-carved rocking chairs, hammocks, and private jetted hot tubs.

• Opulent Bathrooms: Oversized marbled bathrooms featuring deep-soaking Jacuzzi tubs, double vanities, and designer toiletries.

• Elite Villas: Premium options like the Villa Palacio or The Estate Compound expand to multi-bedroom layouts featuring private infinity-edge pools, private kitchens, and dedicated outdoor recreational zones (putting greens and bocce courts).

BEST HOT SPRINGS IN THE AREA

The resort’s primary selling point is Hydrothermal waters are naturally heated by volcanic magma thousands of feet below the earth’s surface.   

• Low Sulfur, High Benefit: The water is rich in sodium, potassium, and boron (which promote skin health, muscle recovery, and circulation) but carries a very low sulfur content. This means guests enjoy all the therapeutic benefits without the unpleasant “rotten egg” smell common to other volcanic springs.
• Pristine Water Quality: Unlike some properties that reuse water, The Springs pumps fresh water 420 feet up from natural sources. Every single night at closing, the pools are drained, chemically cleaned, and entirely refilled starting at 6:00 AM, with new hot water continuously circulating throughout the day.   
• Spanning over 4 acres of landscaped jungle terraces, the resort divides its 28 pools into completely different operational moods and temperature ranges (83°F to 104°F):   

• Las Lagunas (The Social Center): Located right below the main building, this multi-level two-acre terrace blends 12 hot spring lagoons and heated chlorinated pools with cascading waterfalls. It features the famous Las Lagunas Swim-Up Bar and perfectly framed views of the Arenal Volcano.   

• Perdido Springs (The Jungle Oasis): Set inside a deep forest canyon, this quiet network of 7 interconnected trails and spring-fed pools offers a serene, meditative atmosphere. It features the thrilling Monkey Slide water flume and the secluded Los Perdidos Bar.   

• Club Rio Springs (The River Edge): Located further down the mountain right along the rushing Arenal River, these pools allow guests to alternate between a hot, mineral-rich soak and a refreshing cool-off plunge in the natural river.
