Surami Mineral Spa is located in the historic town of Surami in Shida Kartli, a corridor of strategic and cultural significance that has linked eastern and western Georgia at the Likhi mountain watershed since antiquity, where the Transcaucasian Military Road brought Russian officers and Georgian nobility to take the mineral waters in the 19th century. Naturally bicarbonate-rich mineral springs emerging from the region's geological formations have sustained a spa and drinking tradition here since Georgian antiquity, with the mild carbonation and mineral profile traditionally associated with well-being in both immersion bathing and drinking programs. The mineral waters are known for their pleasant effervescence, part of a long thermal tradition continued in carefully graduated programs that echo the Caucasian sanatorium heritage. Surami's medieval fortress, visible on a dramatic rocky hill above the town, and the surrounding Kvemo Kartli countryside of ancient vineyards and deciduous oak forests give the spa a deeply historical and picturesque setting that connects thermal well-being with Georgia's extraordinary historical and viticultural heritage.

Insider tip — Surami lies at the watershed divide between eastern and western Georgia, historically significant as a fortress gateway on the Silk Road. Its bicarbonate mineral waters at 38 °C are recommended for digestive and metabolic conditions by local balneologists. The spa complex retains a Soviet-era sanatorium character that lends an authentic, unhurried atmosphere. Combine a visit with a stop at the medieval Surami Fortress perched above the town.
