Hello,
I’m looking to book tickets for April 2023 but the website does not give the option to book beyond 01 January 2023. Are the baths closed at his time or is it that tickets are not yet available?
Thanks
Pete
Hello Peter,
Next year’s rates are not confirmed yet. Bookings for 2023 will be accepted from the first week of January.
Hi, i am looking for info on whether children are allowed at the baths and what ages, do they need full tickets? I have two children ages 2 and 4.
Thanks!
Dear Bronwen,
The bath entry is free for children under 2 years old but older children have to pay full prices tickets.
Babies who are not potty trained are not allowed in the pools, even if they are wearing a swimming nappy. It mostly applies to children under the age of 3. Babies and toddlers can come with the family to the Spa but need to stay outside the pool area with somebody.
The thermal baths were and are still aimed at adult bathers, therefore there are no kid’s pools or activities.
Most of the outdoor and indoor pools and baths are more than 33 degrees Celsius, which means increased stress for the cardiovascular system of kids, whose body is not fully developed yet to be able to cope with the heat of the bath waters, therefore saunas and hot pools are not healthy for children under 14.

We have no slippers or swimming caps with us. Can we hire them? Also do you provide towels?
Hi,
We have reserved tickets through Viator, could you confirm that there will be no problems on arrival with our tickets. As I am unsure after reading reviews that staff are not happy with this company.
Secondly, do we need to be fully vaccinated to enter the baths? If not, a little more information of any regulations they are in place.
Thank you
