SodiumChloruresBrome

ThermaSalina occupies a remarkable setting in Salins-les-Bains, a small Jura town in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté whose salt-extraction heritage — inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list — permeates every corner of its valley. The spa draws on this deep saline tradition, channelling sodium-chloride mineral water that reflects the geological identity of the Jura plateau in every bath.

The sodium-chloride water is delivered at a soothing 34 °C — warm enough to relax without overstimulating — with a neutral pH of 7.3 that leaves the skin feeling silky rather than stripped. The salt-rich composition imparts a distinctive density to the water long appreciated by visitors who have come to Salins since the nineteenth century. Between sessions, the historic town's salt works, medieval streets, and surrounding vineyard landscapes complete the picture of an understated French spa destination.

Insider tip — ThermaSalina in Salins-les-Bains draws from the UNESCO-listed salt springs that gave this Jura town its centuries-old fame, offering concentrated brine bathing in elegant surroundings. The historic salines (saltworks) beneath the town feed the spa's pools, appreciated for their beneficial effect on skin and overall well-being. The town's remarkable preserved saltworks and surrounding Jura vineyards make a ThermaSalina visit a cultural and restorative experience alike.
