We are proud to present the inaugural issue of the European Spas Association Magazine, published to celebrate 30 years of European Spas.

This special edition embodies our core values: Health, Quality and Innovation.

From thermal water, climate therapy, and thalassotherapy to mineral waters and modern medical spa trends, the magazine highlights how Europe’s medical spas play a vital role in prevention, resilience, and sustainable wellbeing.

In the foreword, ESPA President Dr Siyka Katsarova underlines that today, more than ever, medical spas are not only places of recovery – they are strategic health infrastructures supporting prevention, rehabilitation, and long-term well-being.

Edited by Csilla Mezősi with contributions from leading spa experts across Europe, this anniversary edition celebrates three decades of European Spas’ commitment to advancing spa medicine and natural remedies, and connecting a diverse network of innovators, practitioners, and destinations.

Inside, readers can explore presentations of European Spas’ 18 National Members and 8 Advisory Members, showcasing the rich diversity of Europe’s medical spa landscape.

…and discover our shared vision for a future where natural remedies, science, and sustainability drive Europe’s approach to health and wellbeing.
