Water profile
Soothing — neither hot nor cold, perfect balance.
Loaded with major ions — the essential minerals (Ca, Mg).
Soft water — natural, classic buoyancy.
The mountain resort town of Jermuk sits at over 2,000 metres elevation in the Vayots Dzor region of southern Armenia, perched above the spectacular gorge of the Arpa River. Long established as one of the Caucasus's premier natural spring destinations, Jermuk has a deep-rooted identity tied to the quality of its waters, which have been bottled and exported across the former Soviet Union and remain a point of local pride.
The bicarbonate spring water, mildly alkaline at pH 8, emerges at a welcoming 38 °C — gently warm, enveloping in the crisp mountain air of the Armenian highlands. The bicarbonate mineral profile gives the water a clean, slightly effervescent character on the palate and against the skin. The resort facilities are set against a landscape of dramatic basalt cliffs and alpine forest. A soak here carries the distinct atmosphere of the high Caucasus — austere, elemental, and quietly magnificent.
