Badplaas Thermal Resort in Mpumalanga, South Africa, is one of the country's most popular mineral spa destinations, drawing on warm sodium bicarbonate springs that emerge at around 38°C from the ancient granite rocks of the Steenkampsberg range. The resort's extensive thermal pools, waterslides and wellness facilities attract families and couples from across Gauteng and beyond, making it a beloved getaway in a beautiful mountain setting near the Barberton Makhonjwa Mountains — a UNESCO World Heritage Site containing some of the oldest exposed geological formations on Earth.
