Hotel Luxury Spa in Ctra. General 2, Grau Roig, Andorra
Grau Roig Spa
Exclusive boutique spa at 2,000 meters elevation within Grau Roig Boutique Hotel, offering intimate wellness in a rarefied alpine setting. Heated outdoor pool with mountain views, hammam, and personalized treatments from expert therapists specializing in post-ski recovery.
Grau Roig Spa is an intimate, adults-oriented wellness facility situated within the Grau Roig Boutique Hotel at an elevation of 2,000 metres above sea level in the Encamp parish of Andorra. This high-altitude location, reached via the Carretera General 2 road, places the spa amid a raw Pyrenean landscape where snowfields, pine forests, and glacial terrain surround the property during the winter ski season and give way to alpine meadows in summer.
The spa's centrepiece is its heated outdoor pool, which maintains a constant temperature of approximately 37°C throughout the year. Submerging in the pool while surrounded by Pyrenean summits — with Grandvalira's slopes visible on clear days — is the defining experience that distinguishes Grau Roig from urban day spas in the valley. The contrast between warm water and crisp mountain air is especially dramatic in winter, when guests can soak beneath a sky entirely free from light pollution.
Inside, the facility includes a Finnish sauna, steam room, and hammam, providing a traditional thermal circuit that complements the outdoor pool. Treatment rooms accommodate individually booked massage and body treatment sessions, with particular emphasis on post-ski recovery protocols. Therapists specialise in deep-tissue sports massage, myofascial release, and lymphatic drainage — modalities that address the specific demands placed on the body by a full day on Grandvalira's slopes. The product range features alpine-inspired formulations drawing on local botanical traditions.
Given the boutique scale of the hotel — fewer than 40 rooms — the spa operates with a deliberately limited number of treatment slots per day, ensuring a quiet and unhurried atmosphere. Non-resident guests may access the spa subject to availability; however, hotel guests receive priority for all treatment bookings and thermal circuit access. Advance reservation is essential, particularly during the peak ski season from December to April and the summer hiking season in July and August when the hotel operates at near-full occupancy.
The spa is exclusively for adults, maintaining the property's philosophy of contemplative mountain living. Robes and slippers are provided to all guests. A curated selection of wellness teas and light post-treatment meals can be arranged through the hotel's restaurant, which focuses on locally sourced Andorran and Catalan cuisine. The proximity of the Grau Roig ski sector's gondola — within walking distance — makes combining a morning on the slopes with an afternoon spa session a straightforward and popular daily itinerary.

FAQ
Is Grau Roig Spa open to non-hotel guests?
Non-residents may access the spa subject to availability. Hotel guests hold priority for all treatment bookings and circuit access, so external visitors are advised to enquire and reserve well in advance, especially during the ski season from December to April.
What is the signature experience at Grau Roig Spa?
The heated outdoor pool at 2,000 metres elevation is the defining feature. Soaking at 37°C with views of the Pyrenean peaks and Grandvalira's slopes — particularly on a clear winter day — distinguishes this spa from lower-altitude alternatives in the principality.
Are there treatments specifically designed for skiers?
Yes. Therapists specialise in post-ski recovery modalities including deep-tissue sports massage, myofascial release, and lymphatic drainage, all tailored to address muscle fatigue and joint strain from a day on Grandvalira's high-altitude pistes.
When is the best time to visit Grau Roig Spa?
The spa is open year-round. Winter (December–April) combines slope access with spa recovery; summer (July–August) offers calmer conditions and hiking-adjacent wellness. Both periods require advance booking given the hotel's limited room count.
