Caldea, the iconic thermal leisure complex in Escaldes-Engordany, open since 1994. Thermal pools, jacuzzis, sauna and steam bath beneath a striking glass tower, in the heart of the Andorran Pyrenees.
Opened in 1994, Caldea is the great thermal leisure complex of Escaldes-Engordany, instantly recognisable by the glass tower that rises above the Andorra la Vella valley. Fed by the region's natural thermal waters, it features vast indoor and outdoor pools, jacuzzis, a sauna, a steam bath and massage treatments on request, all set against spectacular views of the surrounding Pyrenean peaks. A beauty salon, a bar and a restaurant round out the experience for a longer relaxing break. A true wellness institution in Andorra, Caldea draws locals and visitors alike looking to unwind after a day of skiing or hiking. The complex has also announced plans for a 4-star tower hotel with around 40 rooms, which would add accommodation to its offering in the coming years. For now, Caldea remains primarily a must-visit day destination for hydrotherapy and relaxation in the heart of the Andorran Pyrenees.
Caldea stands in les Escaldes, in the parish of Escaldes-Engordany, just a few minutes' walk from the centre of Andorra la Vella and its shopping streets. The complex is easily reached from the country's main roads. Several museums lie nearby: the Farga Rossell forge and the Postal Museum, about 4 km away, as well as the UNESCO-listed Madriu-Perafita-Claror valley, just over 5 km away and ideal for hiking. The nearest airport, la Seu d'Urgell, is around 22 km away, making Caldea an easy wellness stop to combine with exploring the country.
