Antsirabe Hot Springs

Antsirabe Hot Springs is a natural thermal bathing destination in the Vakinankaratra Region of Madagascar's central highland plateau, situated in a town long known for its pleasant climate and mineral water resources. The springs emerge at temperatures around 45°C, producing sulfurous mineral water that, within a long thermal tradition, has made Antsirabe a destination for Malagasy and French colonial visitors alike. The city retains the broad avenues and colonial architecture of its spa town origins, including the historic Hotel des Thermes built in the early 20th century by French missionaries who first developed the springs. Antsirabe's highland thermal springs offer a genuinely unique African wellness experience in a city of remarkable cultural and historical character.
