Balneario de Ledesma is one of the largest thermal spa resorts in Spain. Apart from its balneotherapy and medical facilities, it offers a 3-star hotel with a total of 491 rooms, surrounded by the dehesa natural pastures, on the banks of the river Tormes, as well as two apartment blocks ideal both for families and for enthusiasts of activity holidays.

The bright and spacious rooms -suite, double room with shower/bath, double room with bath and single room with bath- are equipped with Wi-Fi, phone, TV, heating and fridge. They all have a view and large windows over the fantastic natural landscapes.

In addition, there are lounges on every floor, where guests can watch TV or a film, read a book, or socialise with other guests, having a chat or sharing a game of cards.

The 35 self-catering apartments rise a step away from the spa, within the grounds of the Baths of Ledesma -five of them are in a shopping area. They offer comfortable accommodation and are fully furnished with all you need to spend a few days in the company of family and friends. They provide an ideal half-way solution for anybody looking to have a relaxing break at the spa and to enjoy the leisure pursuits provided by LedesmActiva.

When it comes to food and drink, a first-class buffet restaurant offers a wide range of healthy options drawing on the products, dishes and traditions of the Castilian and Mediterranean cuisines.

Its sport facilities (outdoor pools, sports fields, bowling alley), its parks and walks, featuring a music kiosk and a riverside walkway, and the wealth of possibilities offered by the characteristic Dehesa landscape and by the river Tormes, allow visitors to enjoy nature at its best and to indulge in all sorts of outdoor activities like hill walking, mountain biking, canoeing, abseiling, bird watching, horse riding and many others, always with the spa as the starting point.

The hotel also features a couple of shops providing a selection of souvenirs or local food products for visitors to take home, a pharmacy, a hair salon and a church.

The thermal baths, built alongside the river Tormes over the area of basins and tanks used by the ancient Romans and the Arabs, have been arranged in two areas separated by the Reception. Here, visitors can obtain useful information and purchase all the necessary gear like swim caps, swimming wear, robes, towels and slippers.
