Spa overview
Terme Merano is a sleek, glass-walled thermal spa set in the heart of Merano, framed by palm trees and the Alps. While the main pools require swimwear, the large sauna area follows the German-Austrian spa tradition with mandatory nudity. Facilities include Finnish saunas, bio saunas, a caldarium, and outdoor relaxation zones.
The contrast between snow-covered peaks and warm waters creates a serene experience year-round. The spa emphasizes local wellness traditions, using Alpine herbs and grape-based treatments. It strikes a balance between stylish design, regional identity, and a welcoming atmosphere for both regular spa-goers and curious first-timers.
