An indoor and two outdoor pools with temperatures from 30-34°C are the central elements of the bathing area. Water falls, water domes, massage jets, whirlpools and a flow channel make your stay into a water experience. The hot and cold water grottos (38 and 18°C) stimulate the circulation and strengthen the immune system. In the year 2000, this area was expanded with a Roman scented steam bath. Three years later there also came a brine inhalation room, in which guests could also relax outside the tubs. Whoever is looking for even more relaxation can find this in the massage room inside the bathing area. Here you can be spoilt by all the facets of this art.The sauna area of the Caracalla Spa has completely changed over the last 25 years. Roman mosaics and columns and also numerous museum pieces and antiques give the spa its Roman touches and let you experience the bathing culture of the times of Emperor Caracalla. Inside the sauna, guests can choose from seven difference offers – from the Finnish sauna to the unique glass steam bath. Relaxation is possible between every sauna visit. The Blue Space senses room brings together wellbeing and art and provides a completely new feeling of mental regeneration. The absolute quiet and the natural atmosphere of the green relaxation room ensures total relaxation. If these possibilities are not enough for you, since the end of 2003 there is also the sauna outdoor area. In the picturesque garden of the new castle of Baden-Baden, you can experience rustic bathing enjoyment in the log cabin sauna made of pine wood. The wood of the Finnish polar pine has a unique scent and makes the sauna into an unforgettable natural experience. The pristine atmosphere in the “Fire Sauna” and the “Wood Sauna” also ensures this. In 2009 the modern WellnessLounge opened its doors. Inside the building of Caracalla Spa guests will be offered nine wellness and cosmetic treatment rooms named after Roman gods. Specific rooms are provided for all the treatments, which include massages, body packages and beauty programmes. The wellness lounge offers a range of new possibilities and a whole host of new wellness trends including soap massages in a wet room, either alone in a beautiful massage room with overhead lighting or in twos in a twin massage room. The luxury spa consists of a bright room with windows in the ceiling and two high-quality single-piece bathtubs. Couples can also experience wellness together and be looked after in an individual manner. The wellness lounge also has a wellness bar and a wonderful rest area with an outdoor sun terrace. « less

Pools were very nice and warmer than expected. Of Only 2 complaints or maybe words of caution. First, make sure to bring your own towel, it was very expensive to rent one. In fact bring a bathrobe if you are shy for the sauna area. 2) i thought my kids would enjoy the children's 'paradise' while my husband and I... More

We did not partake in any of the spa services but loved the pools and sauna. We, my husband, son and I spent three hours there and it was wonderful and rejuvenating after almost two weeks away from home and spending most of our time sightseeing. We visited on a sunny but cool day and found the outdoor pools delightful.... More

I loved this place. The baths aren't especially warm so I don't know if I would go in winter. They are under 100 degrees. There is one littler one inside which is 100. Because of this I used the steam room to get warm. That is something special, though. Although the building is mainly modern with much glass, the steam... More

There are two spas in Baden Baden, Caracalla and Friedrichsbad. This one is modern, full of young people and like a day at disneyland. It is fun and full of energy. They have a great wrap treatment that you should do in addition to the basic package. More

This place seems busier than the neighboring baths. This one is family and group oriented. Bathing suits are required and its a series of pools that you are free to go where you want when you want. There is no order or anything like the other baths.There are numerous pools, a couple are even outside. There are also steam rooms... More

We had a fantastic day out here ... the place is huge with a great range of indoor and outdoor pools, jacuzzis, plunge pools, saunas etc. It's really clean and all facilities are great. We paid 20euros for 4 hours which was the perfect amount of time and extremely well priced. Make sure you take your towel as its 6euros... More

My two girlfriends and I (celebrating a 30th birthday) had a great time at Caracalla. We mostly enjoyed the pools on the lower level and outside (particularly the very warm pool indoors). We got there around 5:30 and used a coupon from our hotel (Hotel Schweizer Hof) to get a free hour (paid for 3, got 1 free). This was... More
