Termas do Gerês is a naturally warm bicarbonated mineral spring spa located within the spectacular Peneda-Gerês National Park in northern Portugal, the country's only national park, where granite mountains, ancient oak forests, and crystal-clear rivers frame a landscape of extraordinary natural beauty. The mineral waters of Gerês have been known since Roman times, and the establishment continues a centuries-old tradition of therapeutic bathing in one of the most pristine natural environments in the Iberian Peninsula. The combination of genuine mineral spring water and an immersive national park setting makes Termas do Gerês an exceptional wellness destination.

Insider tip — Termas do Gerês rises at 400 metres altitude in the heart of the Peneda-Gerês National Park, Portugal's only national park, on the Galician border. The (mildly) radioactive sodium-bicarbonate waters have flowed since the 19th century and draw spa-goers for their recognized benefits to the urinary tract. The wildlife — Iberian wolves and golden eagles — can be observed from the balconies of the thermal road, adding a unique natural dimension to the experience.
