Ibadi Hot Springs, located in Azerbaijan's Shaki-Zaqatala region near the Greater Caucasus foothills, are chloride-rich warm springs emerging amid a landscape of forested mountains and traditional Azerbaijani villages. The springs have been used by local communities for generations within a long thermal tradition, embedded in the Azerbaijani culture of mineral bathing that extends across the South Caucasus. The Shaki region's rich cultural heritage, including the famous Khan's Palace and traditional silk weaving, makes Ibadi a destination that combines thermal relaxation with exceptional cultural tourism.

Insider tip — The Ibadi hot springs rise in the Tovuz district of northwestern Azerbaijan, near the Georgian border and the ancient Silk Road corridor through the Kura-Araks lowlands. The sodium-chloride water at 38°C feeds a modest bathing facility popular with locals from nearby Tovuz and Ganja. The flat agricultural landscape of the Kura plain surrounds the site, with the distant Caucasus ridgeline forming a dramatic skyline to the north. The drive along the Kura River valley to reach it is itself one of western Azerbaijan's more scenic routes.
