Termas de Archena is one of Spain's most architecturally distinguished historic spa resorts, set in a natural gorge of the Segura River in Archena, Murcia, where chloride-rich thermal waters have been channelled into elegant establishments since Roman times and the resort's Belle Epoque hotels represent some of the finest fin-de-siecle spa architecture on the Iberian Peninsula. The Hotel Termas and Hotel Levante, both designated heritage buildings of outstanding architectural merit, create an atmosphere of nineteenth-century spa grandeur that transports guests to the golden era of European balneotherapy when aristocrats and artists crossed the continent in search of mineral cures. The dramatic limestone gorges of the adjacent Segura River, navigable by kayak from Archena itself, add a dimension of natural adventure to what is already one of Murcia's most culturally and historically layered thermal destinations.
