About
Korte feiten: Plunging into warm, mineral-rich mud feels oddly buoyant and exfoliating, with many bathers saying a single soak leaves skin noticeably softer and muscles relaxed. Beyond the mud pools, steaming mineral water bubbles up from deep beneath the ground and staff combine it with herbal wraps and gentle massages to create tailored spa treatments.
Hoogtepunten: You sink into warm, silvery mineral mud kept at about 40–42°C, the thick paste smelling faintly of sulphur and sea as attendants smear it on with wide wooden spatulas and guests laugh while being covered like living pottery. After a 15–20 minute steam everyone rinses into a sequence of plunge pools where a rustic wooden bell is rung to time treatments and an elderly attendant often performs a brisk, rhythmic foot-and-shoulder massage locals swear boosts circulation.
Insider tips
- Bring old swimwear and a towel, mud can stain light fabrics.
- Arrive early to avoid large coach groups that usually show up between 10:30 and 13:30.
- Use the on-site lockers for valuables and carry a waterproof pouch for your phone.
- Rinse thoroughly after the mud treatment and take photos from the higher terraces for the best coastal views.
