A Craft Beer Facial in the Rainforest | Arenal, Costa Rica
This Father’s Day, treat dad to an off-the-grid escape at Tabacón Thermal Resort & Spa. Spread across 900 acres of lush rainforest near the base of Costa Rica’s Arenal Volcano, the resort features hot springs and cascading waterfalls naturally heated by the volcano’s magma and an outdoor spa where treatments are rendered to the sounds of rushing streams and local wildlife.
In response to the growing craft beer scene in Costa Rica, the property recently partnered with a local brewery (5inco Amigos Cerveceria) to create two proprietary craft beers unique to the resort. And just in time for Father’s Day, they’ve rolled out a spa treatment using their ‘Kapi Kapi’ signature brew – an 80-minute, heavenly body wrap made from the Double Indian Pale Ale, followed by an express facial to clean, exfoliate and hydrate the skin….making you feel Pura Vida – or in Maleku (the region’s indigenous language) – Kapi Kapi.
Father’s Day weekend rates from $310/night.
