The Pyrenean paradise of Andorra has everything you could want from a European getaway, including sensational ski resorts, fun outdoor activities, beautiful landscapes, a lovely climate, low-cost shopping and much more. On top of all that, there are a number of quality spas that you can enjoy during a holiday in Andorra. Whether you’re looking to unwind after a day on the Andorra ski slopes or whether you’re seeking a relaxing weekend away from start to finish, the principality offers a variety of top-tier spa facilities that blend wellness with mountain tranquillity.
In this guide to the ultimate Andorra spa experiences, we’ll break down how and where you can find the best thermal spa Andorra has to offer or the spa hotel Andorra accommodation you’ve been dreaming of. So, let’s take a look and discover how to unwind in this most relaxing of countries.
Caldea: The largest spa in Andorra
At the forefront of Andorra’s thriving wellness scene is Caldea Spa Andorra, the largest spa in the principality with its capacity for 2,646 people. To go one step further, Caldea is not just the largest thermal spa Andorra has within its borders; it’s actually the largest thermal spa in all of southern Europe.
Situated in the parish of Escaldes-Engordany, Caldea Spa Andorra is much more than just a spa. As the centre self-describes itself: “Caldea is a spa and it is also a spa that has nothing in common with a spa.” So, what does that mean exactly? Well, at Caldea Spa Andorra you’ll find saunas, jacuzzis, grapefruit baths, Indo-Roman baths, a panoramic lagoon, waterfalls, bubble beds, massages and a lot more.
Besides the many treatments, the building itself is an architectural marvel, with its futuristic glass towers and its 18 floors. It truly stands out against the backdrop of the surrounding mountains. Since its opening in 1994, Caldea Spa Andorra has consistently been a leading destination for both locals and tourists seeking relaxation and health treatments.
While it is located in Escaldes-Engordany, and therefore not technically an Andorra la Vella spa, Caldea is only just outside of the provincial border that marks the end of the principality’s capital. At just a five-minute drive or a 20-minute walk from the centre of the capital city, Caldea can essentially be considered an Andorra la Vella spa too.
Another reason why Caldea Spa Andorra has been able to build up such a positive reputation as the leading spa option in the microstate is the fact that it has reasonable admission fees, with the “Classic” ticket starting at €29.50. They also regularly run promotions, with promo codes that can cut the price of your Andorra spa day down further, so that you can completely relax with absolute peace of mind!
Other spas in Andorra
While Caldea is undoubtedly the shining jewel at the heart of Andorra’s spa and wellness scene, there are several other spas that offer equally luxurious experiences, each with its own unique charm.
Hotel Roc Blanc
One of the oldest and most appreciated Andorra spas is the wellness centre at the Hotel Roc Blanc. This was one of the first hotels in Andorra to begin offering thermal water experiences, doing so as of 1960. Located in Escaldes-Engordany and in a prime location, where the thermal waters can reach 70ºC and where they have a mineral composition rich in sulphur ion, this is clearly one of the top spas in the country.
Hotel Spa Termes Carlemany
Another spa with a long tradition of using the famous thermal waters of the Escaldes-Engordany parish is the Hotel Spa Termes Carlemany. Located in a historic and charming building with a lot of character, this is a spa that combines tradition with modernity. It offers everything you’d expect from a hotel spa, as it’s easy to book a slot via the reception and there are even private jacuzzi rooms with a package including a bottle of cava. If that sounds like the ultimate holiday treat then it’s because it is!
Sport Wellness Mountain Spa
Moving away from Escaldes-Engordany and to the Soldeu area of Andorra, the Sport Wellness Mountain Spa is part of the Sport Hotel Hermitage complex. Spread over 5000m2 of space and located beside the Grandvalira ski slopes, this spa can offer some of the most stunning panoramic views of the mountains, as well as all of the relaxing services you’d expect. Furthermore, the spa boasts several artworks from the Catalan artist Domènec Fita, making it one of the most beautiful and impressive spa hotel Andorra experiences by far.
Pas de la Casa Sports and Sociocultural Centre
The Pas de la Casa Sports and Sociocultural Centre is a public sports and leisure centre, but it too can be a good option if you’re looking to enjoy an Andorra spa day during your stay. It is excellently reviewed and offers a relaxation space with a sauna and Turkish bath. Boasting awesome mountain views, and with its Pas de la Casa location being close to various ski resorts, this centre is worth considering if you’re looking to add just one afternoon of a spa experience to your trip. With other sports facilities and activities in the same building, it’s also a good option if you’re with the whole family, as there is plenty to keep the kids occupied while you enjoy a day of relaxation and destressing during your Andorra holiday.
