The Water

The mineral-medicinal water of Balneario de Archena was declared as being of public interest in 1869. It is classified as a sulfurate-sulphate-chlorine-sodium-calcic water. It flows from the spring at a temperature of 52.5 ºC after having remained underground within the earth for 15,000 years. The properties of the water make for an excellent natural remedy for physical conditions as well as for recuperating the general well-being of the body.

This water holds the capacity to provide the body with the rest and relaxation needed to improve the immunologic system, and to favour the maintenance and improvement of joints as well as the protection of skin against ageing. The beneficial effects to the body are recognised by the doctors and physiotherapists who prescribe the visits to the spa.

    Read what our clients have to say...

    Our stay was absolutely well prepared by our SIS-ters. Our first impression was very positive, a beautiful hotel in a beautiful authentic setting. The Wellness/detox combination completed the break for us. After an emotionally difficult period, we really enjoyed spending this special week together. We try to maintain the relaxed feeling as long as possible. The location has a lot of history, we found the information about this very special location/thermal sources very limited, which was a shame. We would have liked to know more about this (in advance), including the history. If we want to make a similar trip again in the future, we will certainly keep an eye on your site.
    Bea, Netherlands - 31 October 2023
    Had a fabulous time. Everything ran like clockwork. The hotel and its surroundings are gorgeous. Tina is an absolute hidden gem. As an English speaker she helped me through check-in /out and was on speed dial if I needed to ask a question. The Archena massage is an absolute unique experience and not to be missed. I intend to do a wellness break again and will be coming back to you. Thank you!
