The travel platform Holidu has published its ranking of Spain's best spa resorts for 2026. The study analysed 120 thermal complexes across the country, with the final list compiled from user reviews and ratings on Google and TripAdvisor. Results were scored on a scale from 0 to 10. 

01

Balneario de Archena (Murcia)

10 out of 10. The undisputed leader of the ranking. A classic thermal resort covering more than 200,000 m², set in the natural surroundings of the Valle de Ricote.

02

Hotel Las Arenas Balneario Resort (Valencia)

9.2 out of 10. A five-star seaside complex that combines 19th-century historic baths with modern spa treatments. In the 1920s, two Neo-Greek pavilions inspired by classical temples were built here: one housed a restaurant and casino, the other a sea-bathing hall with marble tubs and steam treatments. After decades of decline and its final closure in 1993, the complex was given a second life in the 2000s, when it was fully renovated and transformed into a luxury hotel.

Balneario de Puente Viesgo (Cantabria)

8.4 out of 10. Holidu highlights the thermal cave, designed as a tribute to the prehistoric El Castillo caves and their cave paintings. Visitors also frequently praise the staff's friendliness and the overall atmosphere of calm.

04

Balneario de Panticosa (Huesca)

7.6 out of 10. A spa resort in the Aragonese Pyrenees at an altitude of 1,600 metres, surrounded by historic thermal baths and mountain scenery. "Its main strength is a multi-layered approach to relaxation: a thermal complex for physical rest and open spaces for quieter activities such as walks, viewpoints and enjoying the cool mountain air," Holidu notes.

Termas de Griñón (Madrid)

7.5 out of 10. An ideal option for a quick "reset" close to the capital. This spacious spa covers 3,200 m², and one of its biggest advantages is its easy accessibility. The ranking's authors describe it as a place you can visit without weeks of planning, yet one that allows you to forget daily routines and properly unwind.
