Termali Salini & Spa is a wellness retreat that’s not too large, but all the more exquisite for it. Architecturally stunning, with a strong emphasis on natural building materials, decorative driftwood elements, and atmospheric lighting. At approximately 400 square meters, Ticino’s largest saltwater pool is the centerpiece of the facility. Jets, whirlpools, and water massage beds invite you to indulge in pure relaxation. A vacation for body and mind, in wonderfully warm saltwater. Indoors, several small pools on different levels and with varying temperatures (up to 39°) enhance the experience, always accompanied by bubbling water. From the outdoor area, you can take in the full splendor of Lake Maggiore, Locarno, and the nearby Ticino mountains. This view is especially beautiful in the evening, as you comfortably let the hot water jets massage you .

A bridge over the thermal pool leads to the relaxation rooms and the minimalist, modern herbal steam bath on the first floor. The beautiful sauna area is right next door. Singing bowls signal the start of the various infusions. In the summer, you can cool off in Lake Maggiore, which is right next door.

A small spa bistro invites you to take a break, which you can enhance with healthy snacks. Here, too, you’ll find comfortable and relaxing places to lie down.

The upper level of the Termali Salini & Spa features private spa areas, offering a somewhat pricey but very lovely private spa experience. Of course, you can also book a wide range of massages and treatments.

Important: This is not a family water park with an attached thermal pool—if that’s what you’re looking for, the Lido Locarno next door is the place for you. Termali Salini & Spa is a high-end—and high-priced—spa experience (starting at about 40 CHF per person) right on Lake Maggiore, with a wonderful view and outstanding interior design. Perfect for a relaxing day for two.
