But, there comes a time when you need a break from all the thrills and photo-ops and just kick back and take it all in. Blue River Resort offers guests the right way to relax and enjoy the gifts nature provides. Our natural mud baths are a true Costa Rican indulgence.

The beauty of Costa Rica is widely recognized. Our gorgeous waterfalls, crystal clear pools and rainforests overflowing with colorful birds and birdsong are just some examples of our natural wonders. Did you know that Costa Rica is also known for its geothermal activity? At Blue River Resort you need only look up and you’ll see the famed Rincon de la Vieja smoking volcano.

Because of such activity we also have natural mud baths. In fact the Guanacaste Province, where we’re located provides some of the best opportunities to enjoy these relaxing, rejuvenating and only in Costa Rica natural mud baths. Volcanic mud, sourced from the most pristine volcanic regions, has properties found nowhere else. A natural mud bath is a Costa Rican experience to be sure.

Our natural mud baths provide unique therapeutic benefits. The minerals contained in the volcanic mud rejuvenate through exfoliation and detoxify leaving skin feeling refreshed and looking wonderful. Locally our culture has celebrated mud bath rituals for generations.

In Costa Rica we invite all visitors to take part in wellness through our abundant natural resources. Of course the breathtaking beauty that surrounds you only adds to your inner peace and wonder.

Begin your journey to bliss with a short sauna of about 20 minutes. Next, give into the desires of your inner child as you cover yourself all over with warm mud. Wrap yourself in a warm blanket of volcanic mud and let the soft, silky earthen magic draw out impurities and toxins. Meditate on the beauty that surrounds you as your detoxifying coat of mud dries. Listen to the exotic birdsong, let your eyes be drawn to the lush botanical garden that serves as your view.

Once your mud has dried you can rinse off with a cool shower. Your skin feels amazing and your soul feels re-awakened. You might want to take a dip in the hot springs to warm up if you’re chilly and keep the good vibes flowing. Therapeutic natural mud baths are one of the most popular experiences we offer at Blue River Resort and once you partake it’s easy to see why.
