Balneario de Benito
Salobre, Spain
About
A thermal spa in the hills of the Sierra de Alcaraz, where a day visitor can book a ninety-minute circuit. It moves through an active pool, a jacuzzi, a Turkish bath, cold water and an ice fountain, then a quieter warm pool. Most of the business is multi-night cure programmes with a doctor's consultation.
Good to know
- Pool on site: works alongside the sauna for swim-and-sauna sessions or a longer cool-down between rounds.
- Hot tub on site: adds a warm-water option between the sauna and the cold plunge for a longer cycle.
- Cold plunge available on site: use it between rounds for the classic contrast cycle.
- Pairs the sauna with spa services like massage or a scrub, so a session can sit inside a wider visit.
- Restaurant on site, so long sessions are the design. Food is part of the visit rather than a stop on the way home.
