Balneari Vichy Catalán

Balneari Vichy Catalán is a thermal spa in Caldes de Malavella combining Art Nouveau, historicist, and futurist architectural styles. The complex features a main building, gardens, specialized treatment areas, and thermal pools throughout its grounds.

The spa was founded in 1898 and developed around thermal springs that Romans had exploited in ancient times. The site evolved into a significant health resort with ongoing architectural additions.

The spa reflects regional architectural traditions through designs created by local architects in the late 19th century. You can observe these stylistic choices throughout the buildings and garden spaces that define the grounds.

The grounds are open year-round and contain 86 rooms, thermal pools, treatment areas, a restaurant, and outdoor spaces. Visitors can explore and use the various facilities throughout their stay.

The on-site restaurant uses local thermal water as an ingredient in specially prepared dishes. This practice merges the bathing experience with a culinary use of the natural springs.
