Sigulda Spa, in Latvia's Vidzeme region, offers bicarbonate water at around 38°C (100°F). The complex features indoor pools, sauna and massage for a relaxing break in this Latvian region known for its natural landscapes.
Insider tip — Sigulda's spa draws on bicarbonate-mineral waters from the Gauja valley sandstone aquifer, set within the dramatic gorge landscape of Latvia's 'Switzerland'. The red sandstone cliffs and ancient Livonian castle ruins visible from the spa terrace make the backdrop as memorable as the treatment. Mineral bathing is combined with modern physiotherapy traditions inherited from Soviet-era sanatoriums. Time your visit for autumn when the Gauja valley canopy turns amber and the outdoor pools are shrouded in mist.
