spa town

A spa town, or simply spa, is a town frequented mainly for health reasons, to "take the waters". The word comes from the Belgian town Spa. In continental Europe a spa was known as a ville d'eau (town of water). Although Spa itself is famous for hot thermal baths, towns or resorts offering cold water or mineral water treatments known as balneotherapy and hydrotherapy are also commonly called spas.
