What activities are available at Therme Bucharest Spa?
Let's dive into the main question: what can you experience at Therme Bucharest Spa, and why is it so popular? To put it simply—there’s hardly anything you can’t do! This state-of-the-art facility uses an electronic wristband that allows you to explore different areas and pay for extras like food. However, most activities are already included in the admission fee.
For those seeking relaxation, there are endless wellness options. You’ll find 10 unique saunas, each with its special features—far beyond what most spas offer. One sauna even includes a cinema! You can also visit the salt library, exactly what it sounds like, or unwind in indoor mineral pools, each infused with different minerals to suit your needs. Infrared light beds are also available, along with other wellness treatments.
If tranquillity is your goal, you can stroll through a lush park filled with carefully selected flowers and minerals to help you unwind. There’s an outdoor beach area with various sunbeds where you can truly escape the city’s hustle. An outdoor thermal pool connects directly to the indoor one, and you can even sip on a cocktail from the swim-up bar while enjoying an aqua massage. Hydromassage beds, which require a small extra charge, are well worth it—you may find it hard to leave them! Explore the Fung Shui park, lounge areas perfect for reading, or the relaxation zones where you can unwind in a hammock. There are also several outdoor pools and sunlit terraces for those who want to soak up the rays.
From Relaxation to Adventure: Discover the Excitement at Therme
If you’re looking to add a bit of excitement after all that pampering, Therme Bucharest offers plenty of adrenaline-pumping activities to wake you up. Attached to the spa is a full waterpark, designed to get your heart racing. With 10 advanced water slides, many of which cater to thrill-seekers, you’re in for a wild ride. There’s also a wave pool and a fun water playground, perfect for splashing around. While it may be the spa's most energetic and lively area, some would say it’s the most fun! It's worth mentioning that this waterpark section is located in a family-friendly area, making it ideal for those visiting with kids. However, other zones within the spa are reserved for guests aged 16 and over, ensuring that there are still plenty of peaceful spaces to relax without the hustle and bustle of little ones running around.
If you’re craving more than just waterpark thrills, the spa also offers a packed schedule of activities every day. Whether you’re interested in rejuvenating rituals, invigorating scrubs, or a wide variety of massage techniques, there’s something for everyone. Additionally, there are skincare treatments, aqua gym sessions, and much more to explore, ensuring you can personalize your experience and find the perfect way to refresh and recharge.
What is the cost of visiting Therme Bucharest?

What food options are available at Therme Bucharest?
The dining options at Therme Bucharest are impressive, offering a wide variety of choices.

In addition, there’s a family-friendly restaurant, a Thai restaurant, a snack bar, and several bars located throughout the spa, so you'll never be short of options.
How can you reach Therme Bucharest?

What are Therme Bucharest's operating hours?
The spa is open from 9 am to 11 pm on weekends and 10 am to 11 pm on weekdays.
What should you bring?
There are a few essentials you'll need for your visit. In addition to your swimsuit, you're required to bring flip-flops and a towel, which must be worn when moving between different areas of the spa. If you’re traveling light and didn’t pack these items, don’t worry—you can rent them for a small fee. Since the spa is located between the city and the airport, they also offer luggage storage for those en route to or from a flight. If you're looking for a stylish way to carry your locker key or small items, you can even explore custom keyrings, including flashlight and bottle opener options.
