Novaqua in Cuenca, Ecuador's third-largest city and a UNESCO World Heritage Site celebrated for its preserved colonial architecture, is a contemporary thermal spa and wellness centre drawing on the bicarbonate mineral springs of the El Cajas plateau region in the western Andean Cordillera. Cuenca's thermal heritage reflects the broader geothermal endowment of the Ecuadorian Andes, and Novaqua brings a modern spa sensibility to the city's wellness culture, offering pools, treatments, and hydrotherapy in a designed environment that complements Cuenca's established reputation as one of Latin America's most liveable and culturally rich cities. The bicarbonate waters provide a gentle, skin-softening bathing experience appropriate to the relaxed, cultivated atmosphere of this distinguished Andean colonial city.
