Destinations for body & soul

Since Roman times, destinations dedicated to well-being and health have offered more than “just” treatments. It is the holistic approach of a true European spa destination that makes it a special place for both body and soul. The member destinations of the Roman Thermal Spas of Europe share a history of two millennia dedicated to this approach.

In the late 19th and early 20th century, a stay in one of the spa and health resorts became very popular among Europe’s nobility and the growing middle classes. This period led to a renaissance of the holistic approach of European spa destinations, which can still be experienced today through visits to the gorgeous buildings, beautiful parks, and cultural facilities built in that era.

Today the Roman Thermal Spa destinations not only invite visitors to explore the rich history of the European spa tradition. They also offer contemporary spa and wellness treatments in an environment and infrastructure dedicated to their Roman roots: recreation, relaxation, and well-being for body and soul.

United in diversity

While the origin of all destinations in the Roman Thermal Spas network is the shared Roman heritage, the individual character of each destination is unique today. This mirrors the different spa and cultural traditions that developed in each country and region over time. In this sense, the network is a miniature reflection of Europe as a whole: a shared history and a shared present and future, based on a philosophy best captured in the maxim “United in Diversity”.
