The Springs Resort & Spa
Family Friendly
Wellness
Adventure
Perched above the Arenal River on a verdant riverside reserve near La Fortuna, The Springs Resort & Spa draws the rainforest and distant volcano into its architecture. Earth-toned structures of wood and stone unfold along a hillside, uniting thoughtful design with panoramic views of Arenal Volcano. It is the creation of Lee Banks, who envisioned a family-friendly retreat rooted in natural luxury. Between the lodge and rooms, a sculpted chain of 18 naturally heated volcanic plunge pools weaves through the landscape, anchoring the property in its elemental origins.
