At Tabacon Hot Springs, guests can enjoy a healthy and relaxing soak. These springs are considered a natural expression of the Earth's inherent energy. Geologically, Tabacon Resort's natural thermal springs are 97% rain-based and 3% magma-based. Rainwater enters the earth through fissures on the surface and is heated by magma found in the earth's core. Once heated, the waters rise to surface, taking with them minerals found in the earth's rocky composition. In total, there are five different springs throughout the property, with temperatures ranging from 25 degrees Celsius (77 degrees Fahrenheit) to 50 degrees Celsius (122 degrees Fahrenheit). There are two main branches to the thermal river that flow through the gardens and one cold river spring that flows down from the rainforest. Two more cold springs are channeled as drinkable water for guests.
