Soft water — natural, classic buoyancy.
The Sources Thermales de Man emerge in the Tonkpi Region of western Ivory Coast, near the town of Man — a city known as the "City of Eighteen Mountains" for the dramatic inselbergs that rise abruptly from the surrounding savanna and forest. The natural hot springs surface amid a landscape of great scenic character, where lush vegetation fed by the local climate cloaks the hillsides and the sounds of tropical wildlife provide a constant, enveloping backdrop.
The thermal water reaches the surface at 38 °C, delivering a comfortable, enveloping warmth well suited to bathing beneath the open African sky. With a balanced pH of 7.3, the water has a gentle, neutral quality that invites unhurried immersion. The springs are locally appreciated as a natural gathering place, embedded in the rhythms of daily life in the Tonkpi Region. For visitors arriving from afar, bathing here offers a rare encounter with a natural thermal site set against one of West Africa's most visually striking landscapes.
