Thermas de Griñón has become the most suitable XXL spa to escape from the hustle and bustle of Madrid without going too far away. Only half an hour from downtown, it has the largest thermal circuit in the Community, with more than 3,200 square meters dedicated to hot water, relaxation and temperature contrasts. Roman thermal baths, flotarium with anti-gravity effect, ice cascade and an endless number of jets turn this spa into a water park with the vocation of an oasis.
The heart of Thermas de Griñón is its thermal circuit with pools at different temperatures, saunas and ozonized spaces both in the water and in the environment. The large central pool, at 35-37 ºC, has almost a hundred jets that work from the ankles to the neck, designed to relax muscles and activate circulation. Surrounding it are the “crystal lake”, with clear water and countercurrents for the abdomen, several Jacuzzis, bubble beds and a long circuit of contrast showers and footbaths for tired feet.
Themed hot springs and Dead Sea-type flotarium.
One of the great attractions is the themed hot springs, which evoke seas such as the Mediterranean, the Bay of Biscay or the Indian Ocean by means of temperature games, lighting and specific jets. The circuit includes a flotarium that recreates the sensation of floating in the Dead Sea: a high-salinity pool where the body is kept in suspension almost effortlessly, ideal for decompressing joints and leaving the mind blank for a few minutes.
On the more extreme side of the circuit is the famous ice waterfall: a shower of frost and ice water designed to take before or after the heat of the Turkish bath or sauna, a growing trend in the wellness world. The contrast, which many users share in networks as a real challenge, serves to tone muscles, activate circulation and give a shot of adrenaline.
Massages, salt rooms and other extras
Beyond the water, Thermas de Griñón completes the experience with an extensive menu of massages and treatments, with prices ranging from around €39 to €88 depending on the duration and type. It also has a “salt temple” or halotherapy rooms, spaces that emulate a salt cave and where you breathe air saturated with salt microparticles, recommended to improve respiratory problems, skin or stress.
The rates of the thermal circuit vary according to the day and the package, but the most common offers place the basic access to the environment of 26-37 euros per adult, with prices somewhat reduced for children from 8 to 12 years and possibilities of bonds 2×1 or combined with massage in certain promotions. The general recommendation is to book in advance, especially on evenings and weekends, when the spa tends to fill up and can seem more like a large family pool than a quiet spa.
