Iceland has more than 100 thermal springs scattered all across the country. The best known thermal spring is the Blue Lagoon. As you may have guessed from its name, this thermal spring has neon-blue water. The water is also wonderfully warm and has a very high mineral content with healing properties for skin complaints. If you want an authentic Icelandic experience, visit Hruni Hot Springs. These are natural thermal springs in the middle of the countryside in the south of Iceland. Here you can unwind in warm water while being surrounded by total silence and beautiful nature.
The ancient tradition of steam, scrubbing and washing is a wellness experience that you will not want to miss. Turkish hammams are known for their warm marble stone in the middle of the bathhouse. You lie on the stone while you are washed and scrubbed from head to toe. A good tip is to book some additional treatments, such as a soap massage, oil massage or warm water massage which are very relaxing. After a visit to a hammam, you will feel as if you’ve been reborn.
Hidden in the hills of Tuscany in Italy, you can find Europe’s largest thermal cave. Grotta Giusti was discovered in 1849 and has grown into a well-known wellness centre. At the lowest point of the cave, at a depth of 200 metres, you can swim in thermal waters. The water is rich in bicarbonate, sulphate, calcium and magnesium and it has a positive effect on your body. It is relaxing, relieves pain and has anti-inflammatory properties. In this wellness cave you can book all kinds of spa and beauty treatments or take a thermal yoga session. You will learn how to float in the Floating Spa and the warm water helps you to unwind completely.
