Luxuriate in the warm waters of natural springs and lounge in saunas at a modern spa in the woods of Baden-Baden.

Choose between several different ways to pamper yourself in Caracalla Spa. The complex stretches over an acre (4,000 square meters) of woodland at the foot of the Florentine Hill in Baden-Baden. Mineral water from 12 springs beneath the hill bubbles up in a network of pools, saunas and grottos that will both invigorate and relax the body.

Start in the outdoor section of the spa. Drift in a current that runs around the marble-lined pools or rest by the massage jets. The naturally warm waters from the thermal springs mean visitors can swim outside even during winter.

Indoors, unwind in the waters of the therapeutic pool set amid classical columns underneath an elegant dome. Stimulate your senses in the hot-and-cold rock grottos. Moving between the two different temperature baths is believed to help accelerate metabolism.

Feel every muscle in your body ease up in the aroma steam room, where a carefully calibrated humidity allows for total relaxation. The sauna area, which encompasses multiple rooms, features Roman-style mosaics. Sauna experts create infusions of scents and steam for unique, revitalizing experiences. Swimwear is optional here.

Children are welcome in the spa, too. Let the youngsters play in the “kinderparadies,” a childcare facility equipped with games. The team of staff here will keep the kids entertained while you take a well-earned break.

The town of Baden-Baden has been linked to its thermal springs for centuries. Tour the ruins of ancient baths, which date back to Roman times when the town was known as Aquae Aureliae. After spending the day in Caracalla Spa, visit the neighboring 19th-century complex of Friedrichsbad for further relaxation in historic grounds.

Caracalla Spa is open daily until late evening. Admission prices are graded hourly, with the option of a day ticket that allows you to linger in the luxurious surroundings. Find the baths in the center of Baden-Baden at Römerplatz. On-site metered parking is available.
