Water profile
Stimulating — wakes the body and boosts circulation.
Loaded with major ions — the essential minerals (Ca, Mg).
Soft water — natural, classic buoyancy.
Tucked into the granite hills of Trás-os-Montes, in the small town of Vidago near Chaves in northern Portugal, Termas de Vidago is a historic balneário set within a grand park of century-old trees. The estate carries the quiet elegance of a Belle Époque spa destination, once a retreat for European aristocracy travelling the Iberian peninsula.
The spring water here is bicarbonate-rich and emerges at a fresh 17 °C — cool and vivifying rather than warm, with a naturally sparkling quality typical of the volcanic geology underlying this region. With a slightly acidic pH of 6.2, the water has a crisp, clean taste that has long made it one of Portugal's most celebrated mineral waters. Drinking fountains and pools invite visitors to experience its refreshing character in a setting that blends formal gardens with mountain air.
