Water profile
Stimulating — wakes the body and boosts circulation.
Rich in active gases or metals — a strong mineral character.
Soft water — natural, classic buoyancy.
Set in the historic town of Tskaltubo within the Imereti region of western Georgia, these thermal baths occupy a series of grand Soviet-era sanatorium buildings that speak of a glorious past. Surrounded by lush subtropical parkland, Tskaltubo was once among the most celebrated spa destinations of the USSR, drawing visitors from across the continent to its remarkable natural springs — a legacy that lends the site an air of faded, poetic grandeur.
The water emerges at a pleasantly warm 34 °C, requiring no heating or cooling before use, and carries a mild natural radioactivity alongside a balanced pH of 7.3. Its smooth, almost weightless quality against the skin makes bathing here a distinctly gentle experience. The naturally constant temperature and still character of the water have long made Tskaltubo's pools a place of deep, unhurried relaxation — a tradition that visitors continue to honor today, drawn as much by the atmospheric setting as by the soothing immersion itself.
