Health & Wellness

Baden-Baden was founded more than two centuries ago and has always held strong appeal for those looking to relax and reconnect with themselves. Small, thriving and impressively cosmopolitan, this German gem is brimming with life’s most precious resources in their optimum forms: mineral water, natural light, flourishing earth and fresh air.

Thanks to its twelve springs, curative thermal waters bubble up from about 2,000 metres under the earth. They push out roughly 800,000 litres a day, at temperatures of as much as 68°C. The water’s minerals and other constituents possess an all-around healing effect and Baden-Baden’s springs produce the hottest and most mineral-rich water in all of Baden-Wuerttemberg.

From exploring the diverse sauna landscape of the Caracalla Spa to a soap brush massage in the traditional Friedrichsbad Spa, Baden-Baden’s spas offer wellness and beauty at the highest level.

In the heart of Baden-Baden, the modern Caracalla Spa offers wellness and relaxation on a heavenly scale. Relax between marble columns and immerse yourself in tempting turquoise blue pools; it’s an unforgettable bathing experience in this 4000 square foot glass temple.

The perfect combination of Roman and Irish bathing traditions. For over 145 years, the beautiful Friedrichsbad has been one of Baden-Baden’s landmarks. The building, built in Renaissance style, was considered the most modern bathhouse in Europe when it opened in 1877 and has lost none of its charm and atmosphere ever since.

As soon as you enter the majestic entrance hall and the stairway to the Friedrichsbad, you’ll get an idea of the extraordinary bathing experience to come. Between impressive shower fittings, hand-painted majolica tiles and the splendid domed hall, the historic bath house provides an unforgettable insight into centuries-old bathing traditions.

In Baden-Baden, being “properly treated“ has a long tradition. A combination of conventional medical methods and recognised natural therapies are used for holistic treatments, and the well-being of the whole person is at the forefront of everything. The clinics and medical spas of Baden-Baden are equipped with the latest technology and handled by the most extensively trained medical professionals.

The jewel among the spas in Baden-Baden is the Villa Stéphanie, part of the Five-Star superior Brenners Park-Hotel & Spa. The luxury private spa is a mansion solely devoted to the individual’s spa experience. It is also known as “House of Wellbeing” and is about beauty, detoxing, nutrition, emotional balance and medical care.

Originally built in 1890 as a royal residence, Villa Stéphanie serves the memory of a historical personality whose name still stands as a guiding star over the house: Stéphanie de Beauharnais, Grand Duchess of Baden and adopted daughter of Napoleon I.
