Historic thermal spa in Sciacca on Sicily's southwest coast, using sulphurous waters for baths, mud and respiratory treatments.
Terme di Sciacca is a thermal spa complex in the coastal town of Sciacca, on Sicily's southwest coast, about 135 km from Palermo. The town's sulphurous and salt-rich waters have been used since antiquity, and the spa offers thermal baths, mud treatments, inhalation therapy and massage in a seafront setting. It is the best-known thermal destination in western Sicily.
The spa season usually runs from spring to autumn, and many visitors combine a treatment with a day in Sciacca's old town and its ceramics shops. Programmes range from single baths to multi-day courses, and the sulphur smell of the water is normal. From Palermo the trip is about two hours by car or bus, so it suits an overnight stay or a long day. Booking directly with the spa is advised.
