spa town
Mineral spring community
A spa town is a resort community built around natural mineral springs, where visitors traditionally came to drink or bathe in waters believed to have healing properties.
The term evokes European destinations like Bath or Baden-Baden, with their grand hotels, pump rooms, and promenades: We spent a week in a charming spa town in the Czech Republic.
