natural spa
Geothermal bathing pool
A natural spa is a location where mineral-rich or thermal water emerges from the earth, used for bathing and therapeutic purposes.
Unlike commercial spas with treated water, natural spas draw from geothermal springs or mineral deposits: We soaked in the natural spa carved into the mountainside.
The term sometimes extends to resorts built around such water sources.
