From the pristine water of Lake Geneva to superior air quality from the Swiss Alps, wellness lovers should look no further than the magical Swiss canton of Vaud. From thermal baths and panoramic swimming pools to heath treatments and even family friendly experiences, Vaudois spas are ready to soothe your soul with pure relaxation.
Lavey-Les-Bains Thermal Spa
At the foot of the Alps, Lavey-les-Bains is Switzerland’s hottest thermal spring at a temperature of 36°C.
Descending into the depths of the earth between the geological layers, circulating between the limestone and the granites, the water reaches high temperatures before rising to the surface again, often containing therapeutic minerals. Surrounded by dramatic mountain views, guests can relax in soothing outdoor thermal pool, enjoy massages and hammams, swim against activated currents or decompress under the waterfall.
The thermal spa offers wellness and therapeutic breaks, with a neighbouring a 4-star hotel if you just can’t get enough.

Yverdon-Les-Bains, Grand Hotel and Thermal Centre
A spa town since Roman times, the Yverdon-les-Bains thermal spa is built around a sulphurous spring, rising up from the earth at 29°C. Filled with healing minerals, the water has beneficial effects on aching muscles and joints, respiratory tracts and the digestive system. Though spas aren’t synonymous with children, parents looking to relax can bring the whole family to Yverdon-les-Bains. With four pools including a newly built pool with a play area, an extensive beauty and treatment area, a fitness and a sports medicine centre, the whole family can find somewhere to unwind. Adjacent to the spa, the Grand Hotel des Bains, a lavish 4-star hotel, offers luxury accommodation for visitors.
