A spa weekend can do wonders, benefiting both mental health and physical health through deep relaxation, stress reduction and better sleep. Holidaymakers are now raving about a particular European hotspot featuring an “unbelievable” spa with both indoor and outdoor bars, plus water slides.
The location is Bucharest in Romania. A widely-shared TikTok video from a well-known travel account urged viewers to experience Therme Bucharest – and with compelling reasons.
In the TikTok footage posted to its 27,200 followers, the clip began with: “A cheap underrated European city break you need to visit.”
The TikTok video went on: “No joke, I genuinely believe that a trip to this European spa can be cheaper than going to one in the UK nowadays.
“Therme Bucharest is located in Romania and honestly is one of the most underrated city breaks.
“The city itself is absolutely gorgeous and the spa is unbelievable. They have indoor bars, outdoor bars, the most gorgeous botanical interior, face mask that you can use, temples, aqua aerobics, saunas, water slides, it’s honestly massive.”
What facilities does the spa provide?
Therme Bucharest presents three distinct experiences to “suit your desires”.
Galaxy: Ideal for families seeking fun, with 1.7km of thrilling water slides, a wave pool and engaging activities suitable for all ages. This is the only zone permitting children aged 3-14.
The Palm: An exclusively adult pool complete with a retractable roof, mineral pools, hydromassage beds, a poolside bar, and both indoor and outdoor areas for unwinding.
Elysium: Seeking something special? This tranquil sanctuary offers themed saunas, an extensive selection of wellness treatments, tailored spa services and upscale dining options.
Planning your trip? Remember to pack your swimming costume, flip-flops and a towel. Essential items can be purchased from the on-site shop.
Entry prices range from £20-£50 per adult, approximately 100-250 RON. Costs depend on your visit duration – 3 hours, 4 hours or all day – and which zones you access (Galaxy, Palm or Elysium).
Spa passes generally begin at around £22-£24 for standard entry, with additional charges for sauna packages or full-day tickets.
Return flights can typically cost under £100, but this can vary as a result of the ongoing travel chaos. It’s worth noting last-minute bookings can cost more, or if you’re flying premium.
