Help Build Our Thermal Tourism Community
We have created Thermal Luxe as passionate global thermal tourists ourself. Our journeys have taken us from the Onsens of Japan, to the high Andes Aguas Calientes, the tiers of Pamukkale and the mists of Yellow Mountain Hongshan Hot Springs.
Since moving to Spain we have discovered the Balnaerio culture - widely unknown to English speakers - so we have just launched this site to help others discover Thermal Tourism.
We would love more collaborators to discuss your personal experiences in Thermal tourism - so please reach out if you have an experience you would be willing to share!
