Healing waters in a quiet mountain town

Sulphur Baths of Abastumani

Nestled in the tranquil hills of Abastumani, these historic sulphur baths draw on naturally heated mineral springs long revered for their therapeutic benefits. Once a wellness retreat for 19th-century aristocrats, the baths remain a testament to Georgia’s enduring thermal tradition. The sulfuric waters, emerging from the earth at warm temperatures, are believed to alleviate skin and joint conditions. Soaking here offers more than physical renewal—it’s a journey into a forgotten era of restorative elegance, where the slow rhythm of the mountains enhances the healing power of nature.
