About AquaFonte

The Global Mineral Springs Directory

Our Story

Where It All Began

AquaFonte was born out of a simple frustration: if you wanted to find a mineral spring or thermal bath anywhere in the world, you had to piece together the information from dozens of different sources — travel blogs, tourism boards, scattered forum posts — with no single reliable place to look.

We saw an opportunity to change that. What started as a personal passion for exploring the world's natural wellness destinations grew into a global directory built for travelers, wellness seekers, and anyone curious about the mineral springs and thermal waters that have drawn people for centuries.

Today, AquaFonte covers destinations across six continents — from Iceland's volcanic pools and Japan's onsen culture to Italy's ancient Roman baths and the thermal lagoons of South America. Our goal is to be the most complete, easy-to-use reference for anyone who wants to discover these remarkable places.


What We Do

Our Mission

We curate a global directory of mineral springs, hot springs, thermal baths, and natural water destinations — making it easier for travelers to find, compare, and plan visits to these places. Each listing includes location details, what makes the destination unique, practical visitor information, and links to help you plan your trip.

We focus on places that have stood the test of time: destinations with cultural history, strong visitor traditions, and stories worth telling. Whether it's a world-famous spa resort or a lesser-known local gem, we aim to give every destination the attention it deserves.


How We Curate Information

How We Gather & Update Our Listings

Our listings are built from publicly available sources: official tourism websites, destination guides, visitor reviews, and direct information from operators when available. We aim to keep descriptions accurate and up to date, but conditions at any destination — prices, facilities, seasonal availability — can change.

We review and update our listings regularly based on:

If you notice something that needs updating, or if you'd like to suggest a destination we haven't covered yet, we'd love to hear from you.
