Sairme Mineral Springs in the Imereti region of western Georgia have been renowned since tsarist times, when Russian nobility and Georgian aristocrats made the long journey to this forested mountain valley to drink the naturally sparkling bicarbonate and iron-rich waters within a long thermal tradition. The springs emerge amid dense mixed forests of beech, oak, and hornbeam in a valley of the Sairme River, where the nineteenth-century spa infrastructure established under Russian patronage has been gradually restored to serve modern visitors who continue the tradition of kurort culture kept alive throughout the Soviet period. Georgia's remarkable culinary traditions, polyphonic choral music, and ancient winemaking heritage make Sairme a destination where thermal wellness is embedded in one of the world's richest living cultural traditions.

Insider tip — Sairme Mineral Springs lies deep in the Imereti forested highlands of western Georgia, a valley so secluded that Soviet-era sanatoriums had to be accessed by rope-car through oak and hornbeam canopy. The carbonated bicarbonate waters are bottled as one of Georgia's most popular table waters and piped into balneological baths celebrated for digestive and cardiovascular benefits. The surrounding canyon trails lead past waterfalls and ancient stone bridges, making Sairme as much a hiking destination as a thermal one.
