Bansko Spa, in the Strumica Region of southeastern North Macedonia, offers thermal water reaching 40°C in indoor pools. A sauna rounds out this small spa facility — not to be confused with the Bulgarian ski resort of the same name.
Insider tip — Bansko Spa Macedonia should not be confused with the Bulgarian ski resort of the same name; this Bansko lies near Strumica in southeastern North Macedonia, where thermal springs emerge from the Serbo-Macedonian crystalline massif. The geothermal waters are warm and lightly mineralised, channelled into outdoor pools open for most of the year in this relatively mild continental climate. The nearby Koleshino and Smolare waterfalls in the Belasica mountain range are among North Macedonia's most scenic natural sites, reachable in under an hour. Visiting in early autumn combines late-summer warmth with uncrowded pools and harvest festivals in the Strumica valley.
