Spa Sulzbad, an intimate thermal spa in Alsace!
The Sulzbad thermal spa is located in Wolxheim, north of the Alsace Wine Route. But Sulzbad is above all the baths of Soultz-les-Bains! Sulzbad is a small, simple and intimate thermal spa, far from the big spas in Alsace, but one I love going to!
My summary
I liked
- Thermal water
- Small intimate spa
- Quality of care offered
I liked less
- Small spa, so not many different “places” to try if you don’t take treatments
A thermal spa
The thermal spring that gushes out here (the Saint-Amand spring) does not date back to yesterday: it has existed for more than 5 centuries! Montaigne himself came at the time to take advantage of its benefits… This water is indeed rich in minerals and trace elements. You will find the details of its composition and its benefits in the pictures below. I was really happy to discover that we could benefit from such a thermal water so close to Strasbourg!
An intimate spa
The Sulzbad Spa is a small, intimate spa, which nevertheless offers a wide range of treatments and activities. The spa has a thermal water pool, a jacuzzi area within the pool, a relaxation room and a eucalyptus vaporium (kind of hammam, fabulous if you have a cold by the way! I tested it for you 😉 ). It is possible to choose to access only these areas, or to take a wide variety of treatments in addition. Massages, facials, various jets, affusion, pressotherapy, plantar reflexology, scrubs, slimming treatments… There is really a lot to choose from, I must admit that I was blown away! The Sulzbad also regularly organizes numerous activities and animations: aquagym, various conferences, yoga classes… The place is dynamic!
Having been here several times, I’ve enjoyed the thermal pool, vaporium, affusion, a full facial using different clays, as well as massages and clay wraps. I also had a small glimpse of other treatments such as the Jacquier Air Bowl or the sound massage with Tibetan bowls. I came home tired with a bad cold one day when I went there, but I came out with a better head and my cold went away much faster than usual! A good experience 🙂 I would add that the staff is also very friendly and attentive.
A spa with old-fashioned charm
The setting of the Sulzbad is magnificent: you would never suspect from the road that such a place could exist here. An ancient building stands enthroned in the middle of an immense park planted with trees , where you can take a stroll. Inside, the spaces are pleasant, clean and modern, while having, I find, retained a certain old-fashioned charm (which I like, I must say, but which displeases others!). All in all, the Sulzbad is a small and pleasant spa with a good range of treatments and excellent thermal water. I personally love going there!
