Spas, where treatments are based on the preventive and curative properties of their medicinal waters and which must have a resident doctor who controls how these are administered, can opt to focus on either the leisure or the curative aspects of thermalism, although they increasingly tend to combine both.

Many of these Spas are linked to hotels. These hotels range in category from one to five stars, and therefore their characteristics, clientele and atmosphere also vary widely. From the hotels which focus on the more traditional therapeutic benefits offered by their waters, to the most luxury ones, which tend to combine these with the recently fashionable leisure aspect.

Their beauty, wellness or relaxation treatments complement those designed to prevent or treat ailments of different kinds, depending on the properties of their medicinal waters.
