Badplaas Aventura Spa is located in the town of Badplaas in the Mpumalanga lowveld region of South Africa, where bicarbonate thermal mineral springs with temperatures reaching 45°C have made this one of South Africa's most popular hot spring resorts, drawing visitors from the Johannesburg-Pretoria metropolitan area across more than a century of continuous thermal tourism. The bicarbonate mineral composition of Badplaas's thermal waters carries properties valued in the South African spa tradition for musculoskeletal relief, skin conditioning, and the deep relaxation of warm mineral immersion in a subtropical landscape of bushveld savannah and mountain scenery. The Mpumalanga province—home to the dramatic Blyde River Canyon, the Panorama Route's spectacular geological formations, and the gateway to Kruger National Park—frames Badplaas Aventura within one of South Africa's most scenic and biodiversity-rich regions, where thermal wellness and wildlife encounters can be combined in a single exceptional landscape.

Insider tip — Hydrate well before and after your 43°C bicarbonate-water bath in Badplaas.
