Located in the heart of Fortuna, Murcia, Spain, Balneario de Fortuna is one of the oldest thermal stations in Spain, boasting a rich history dating back to the Roman era.

This chlorinated thermal spring has been a popular destination for centuries, attracting visitors seeking relaxation and rejuvenation. The Balneario de Fortuna offers a serene escape from the stresses of modern life.
Insider tip — Balneario de Fortuna draws on one of the hottest natural springs in Spain, emerging at around 52 degrees Celsius from limestone aquifers beneath the semi-arid Murcia countryside and then cooled to bathing temperature. The spa has operated continuously since Roman times and the 19th-century balneario building retains ornate tile work and vaulted thermal halls. The surrounding landscape of almond orchards and wild rosemary gives the region an intensely Mediterranean character. Book a Saturday morning inhalation session in the historic vapour rooms for a treatment unchanged since the Belle Epoque.
