Tabacón Thermal Resort & Spa

"We are thrilled to expand into the Costa Rica market with the acquisition of a premier tourism experience that aligns perfectly with Pursuit’s strategic vision," said David Barry, President and CEO of Pursuit. "Tabacón Thermal Resort & Spa exemplifies the immersive, place-based experience we aim to deliver—rooted in natural wonder, cultural richness, and a strong commitment to sustainability. This acquisition provides immediate scale and unlocks compelling opportunities for long-term growth in a high-demand destination.”

A Destination Defined by Natural Wonder and Wellness

Located in the heart of Costa Rica's iconic Arenal region, Tabacón spans 570 acres of rainforest and offers unparalleled access to the country’s largest network of naturally flowing hot springs. Set against a lush backdrop, the resort’s winding rivers, cascading waterfalls and thoughtfully designed pools deliver a tranquil, immersive wellness experience.

Alongside the hot springs attraction is Tabacón’s five-star eco-luxury resort featuring 105 elegantly appointed rooms, an internationally renowned spa and signature culinary experiences. The acquisition also includes the nearby Choyín Río Termal hot springs attraction designed for broader access to the thermal river.

Tabacón holds a five-star rating from the Costa Rican Tourism Institute and has achieved the highest sustainability certification, the Elite Level, under the Costa Rica Sustainability in Tourism Program.

“As we welcome Pursuit to Costa Rica, we are proud to become part of a global brand who like us, provide exceptional and authentic hospitality experiences in stunning and iconic destinations,” said Andrey Gomez, General Manager, Tabacón Thermal Resort & Spa. “Together, we will continue to foster our deep support for the local community while building a successful future together that showcases Costa Rica’s stunning landscapes, rich hospitality and important commitment to sustainable tourism.”

Strategic Growth in Iconic, Perennial Market

Costa Rica represents a counter-seasonal complement to Pursuit’s existing North American operations, offering year-round demand and aligning with the company’s strategy to grow in iconic locations with enduring demand. The acquisition of Tabacón marks Pursuit’s entry into its fourth country of operation, reinforcing its position as a global leader in attractions and hospitality. The experience’s sought after location, combined with the country’s international appeal, will enable thoughtful growth as Pursuit looks to expand its signature collections.

“We view this as a foundational investment—one that will anchor what we expect will become a broader Costa Rica collection and further elevate our global portfolio of unforgettable experiences,” said Barry. “As we continue to execute on our Refresh, Build, Buy strategy, we remain focused on delivering exceptional guest experiences in the world’s most iconic places while driving meaningful, sustainable growth.”
