The exclusivity of five-star FONTSANTA Hotel is far beyond its privileged location in the middle of a Natural Park next to the naturist Es Trenc Beach. It’s an exciting source of pleasure and well-being of the thermal spa, which offers the only authentic hot springs in the Balearic Islands.
FONTSANTA is located in Campos, the southern part of the island of Mallorca, and is a part of TORRE de CANYAMEL Luxury Hotels Group.
The uniqueness of the FONTSANTA thermal spa lies in its waters, which differ from any other spa in the Balearic Islands as they are the only thermal waters of underground origin.
They come out of the ground and, rising into shallow aquifers, acquire mineral elements in a form that is almost impossible to reproduce artificially.
Thanks to this process, there is a high level of minerals in the waters — chlorine, sodium magnesium, calcium, sulfur, fluorine, potassium, which stimulate a number of positive effects on the body: improving the condition of the skin, blood circulation, lymphatic circulation. For this reason they have been declared for public use since 1869.
DIVE INTO THE PAST
The spring waters of the FONTSANTA Hotel are legendary. One legend says that spring water was discovered and first used in the era of Ancient Rome. Another says that the amazing properties of spring water came across by chance in ancient times during an epidemic in Mallorca, its healing power restored the sick.
The famous physician Juan Andres Nieto Samaniego studied the chemical composition and healing properties of spring water. After his work, in May 1845, the first building with thermal baths was opened. It was an almost exact recreation of the real sources.
Faithful to the spirit of continuous improvement, FONTSANTA Hotel opens its doors in 2012 as an establishment that combines all the accommodations of an exclusive hotel with traditional Mallorcan style, where the guest is able to enjoy all benefits from the infamous spring waters.
