Termas de Manteigas is set in the mountain village of Manteigas within the Serra da Estrela Natural Park, Portugal's largest protected area, where sulphurous thermal waters emerge naturally from the granite massif in the spectacular glacially sculpted Zêzere valley. The sulphurous springs have been part of a long thermal tradition since the 19th century, attracting visitors seeking relaxation and well-being in Portugal's highest mountain range. The setting, with panoramic views over the U-shaped glacial valley and surrounding peaks, provides an invigorating alpine context for the mineral bathing experience. Termas de Manteigas combines genuine sulphurous spring water with one of Portugal's most dramatic and biodiverse mountain landscapes, making it a uniquely rewarding destination for wellness seekers and nature lovers alike.
