Menteşe Termal ve Aqua is situated in Gönen, in Turkey's Balıkesir Province in the northwestern Marmara region — a district long celebrated for its geothermal wealth. Gönen stands among the most historically significant thermal towns of Anatolia, where the kaplıca bathing tradition stretches back through Ottoman and Byzantine eras.

The calcium-rich bicarbonate water surges to the surface at a striking 65 °C and carries an alkaline pH of 8. Once cooled to bathing temperature, its mineral density imparts a pleasantly firm, enveloping sensation on the skin. The complex pairs traditional hammam facilities with modern aquatic leisure, maintaining the communal, multi-generational character of Turkish thermal culture while offering contemporary comfort to families and visitors from across the Marmara region.

Insider tip — A thermal and aquatic complex in the Gönen region, known for its sulphated-bicarbonate-fluorinated waters gushing at 71-82°C. Nicknamed the 'rheumatism-cure capital'. Excellent for rheumatic, hepatic and gynaecological conditions.
