Gardacqua – Welness and Thermal SPA
ust a short walk from the old town of Garda, tucked between olive trees and rolling green hills, Gardacqua feels like a hidden world of calm. It’s one of those places that you can enjoy all year — a mix of glass, water, and sunlight that turns a simple spa day into a real escape.
The first thing you notice is the huge glass dome. Inside, natural light floods the pools even on cloudy days, and in winter, steam rises softly against the curved windows while you float in warm, mineral-rich water. Step outside, and there’s a heated pool kept at a cozy 33°C, where you can swim under the open sky with Lake Garda’s peaks in the distance.
A Spa Inspired by the North
Gardacqua’s wellness area follows a Nordic spa philosophy, so it’s more about silence, heat, and ritual than luxury for show. There are saunas at different temperatures, aromatic steam baths, an ice fountain for cooling down, and peaceful lounges that look out over the garden. It’s the kind of place where time slows down — where you start to notice your breathing again.
Massages and beauty treatments are available too, done by a team that mixes classic techniques with a more Mediterranean touch. If you’re staying longer, you can also join yoga or aqua-fitness classes or make use of the modern gym, which keeps the relaxed energy going even when you’re being active.
Not Just for Adults
One of the things that makes Gardacqua special is how it welcomes both wellness lovers and families. The spa area itself is adults-only (ages 14 and up), but outside there’s space for everyone — large pools, kids’ slides, and in summer, a lively outdoor zone where children can play while parents sneak away for a sauna session or a quiet swim. It’s a smart balance: peace for some, fun for others, and both within the same tranquil setting.
Insider Tips
Visit on weekdays or early mornings for a quieter, more relaxing atmosphere.
Bring a towel and sandals, as they’re required in the spa area; swimsuits are not allowed in the sauna and steam rooms, following Nordic etiquette.
Summer visitors should check the opening of outdoor slides and seasonal family zones.
For couples, the spa offers romantic evening sessions and private wellness packages — ideal for those seeking a peaceful escape by the lake.
