How many of us have visited the beautiful city of Bath and ogled the magnificent Roman Baths and wished we could luxuriate there in the steaming mineral waters just like the legions of old? Thanks to a multi-year restoration and renovation, it is finally possible!

First discovered by Prince Bladud centuries ago, these spring fed pools were once a place for royalty and aristocrats, the heated thermae water was strictly for the elite. Today, thanks to a multi-year restoration and renovation, the thermae baths are open to the public to partake in the rich thermal waters, and experience exotic spa treatments.

The source of the water remains a mystery, but when discovered in 863BC, the healing waters were said to have the power to cure skin disease and numerous aliments.
