Depending on where you are staying in Costa Rica, you'll have a number of options to unwind, refresh your mind and deepen your relaxation along stunning scenery.

Alajuela Spas

Alajuela is probably the famous region for spas because of the famous Arenal Volcano and its surrounding Hot Springs. You can head to the famed Arenal Volcano area to find hot springs that will release so much tension you'll want to come back each and every year. A few of the best and most famous spas are: the Tabacon Hot Springs and The Springs Resort. The both offer unparalleled views of the volcano while you bask in the natural hot tub. You will also have options for massages, volcanic mud wraps or coffee exfoliations just to mention a few.

Cartago Spas

You may be going to Cartago for whitewater rafting, but you can spend the rest of your time here unwinding after a stressful, yet thrilling excursion down the rapids. You'll find several large and luxurious resorts that feature spas in Cartago. Located in the Orosi Valley, you can melt away your troubles at one of the spas while enjoying the beautiful, sprawling landscape.

Guanacaste Spas

Guanacaste is one of the most popular regions for travelers to visit because of the ideal location along the water. This also means that there are numerous options for spas and resorts in the area. There are several large resorts with on-site spas here as well as many smaller options that make for the perfect escape from the stress of life.

Heredia Spas

Sitting just north of San Jose, the city Heredia is a smaller version of the capital that is home to several spas and large hotel resorts. People who would prefer to stay within a city that isn't as crowded as San Jose will find relaxation in an urban setting here. However, there are also several options for those who stray away from the city in Heredia. For instance, Barva Volcano is located in the region and is near luxurious spas and lodges.
