Solomon’s Baths in Anterselva
The water of the Bagni di Salomone, which flows at a constant temperature of 8°C just one hundred meters from our hotel, is a precious gift from the uncontaminated nature of the Anterselva Valley. Certified as a thermal oligomineral water by the Ministry of Health (DD 4318 of 07/25/2019), this water contains traces of radon, a noble gas that gives it anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties, making it an important ally for well-being and physical fitness.
Every day, this pure water is used in every corner of the hotel: at the table, in the rooms and in the Acqua Vital wellness centre, an oasis dedicated to total relaxation. The center offers a Finnish sauna, a Turkish bath, a thermarium, a Kneipp path with dolomite stones, a maxi hydromassage tub and various types of showers. The magnificent relaxation areas, with panoramic views, are the ideal place to slow down and find your balance.
For centuries, the waters of Solomon’s Baths have been used for therapeutic treatments, especially for joint and rheumatic pain. Immersed in an extraordinary natural environment, the center also offers treatments with thermal mud and hydrotherapy courses, making it a perfect refuge for those who want to regenerate body and mind.
Aqua Bad Cortina: the mineral spring of San Vigilio di Marebbe
Aqua Bad Cortina, located in San Vigilio di Marebbe, exploits the therapeutic properties of a sulphate-calcium-magnesium thermal mineral water, microbiologically pure, recognized by the Ministry of Health for mud bath therapy (Managerial Decree n°4324 of 09/20/2019). This water is particularly beneficial for the nervous system and for digestive and kidney disorders, restoring softness to the skin and promoting relaxation.
The center offers a unique experience thanks to the first tub in the world made of silver quartzite, a medicinal stone which, combined with the scent of pine wood, gives a feeling of purification. During the treatment, the mineral water fills the tub and envelops the body, while the pine wood supports and perfumes it. After the bath, a relaxing steam “bio-sauna” completes the experience, while the melody of the San Vigilio stream and the panorama of the Marebbe Valley, the forest and the sky contribute to a sense of breadth and depth that amplifies psychophysical well-being. In this quiet environment surrounded by greenery, Aqua Bad Cortina offers a natural cure that promotes total relaxation and regenerates body and mind.
