A Spantastic Wellbeing Experience.
The bubbling waters of Spa which has given its name to thermal resorts all over the world have been attracting visitors to Eastern Wallonia since Roman times. Its famous mineral water has been bottled there since the late 16th century and can now be obtained free of charge at wells and fountains around the town. 150 years ago, ‘Thermes de Spa’ were inaugurated in the town.
At the peak of evolution, this establishment offered balneotherapy cures, thanks to the soothing effects of these natural mineral water sources that are, today, scientifically approved. Choose from peat treatment, carbon dioxide bath, and spa showers in a number of establishments such as the ‘Thermes de Spa’. Located on the hills towering above the town, it upholds and evolves this old knowledge and tradition.
Now awarded UNESCO World Heritage Site, Spa is also the meeting-place for lovers of, nature, culture, sport and motor racing, with a spa centre dedicated to well-being. It also has a unique nature conservation area covering over 13,000 hectares, internationally famous music and theatre festivals, and a permanent exhibition of the works of Joan Miro, trail circuits, the Spa Formula 1 Grand Prix, and more. Not many people know that Spa is also home to the oldest casino in the world, which has been modernised for the pleasure of gaming enthusiasts.
