THERMAL SPA
The Fontsanta Thermal Spa waters are different from any other spa in the Balearic Islands, so much so that they are the only thermal waters with subterranean origin on the islands. These waters emerge from the underground and as they rise in shallow aquifers they acquire mineral elements in a form that would be almost impossible to reproduce artificially.

Due to this process the waters present a high level of minerals at 25,34 g/l, the predominant elements being chlorine and sodium in the form of salts. Other elements are present in smaller concentrations including magnesium, calcium, sulfur, fluorine, potassium etc.

These rich minerals stimulate a series of positive effects on the body (skin improvement, blood and lymphatic circulation improvement, etc). Because of this they have been declared for public use since 1869.

AN IMMERSIONIN THE PAST
The spring waters of Fontsanta Hotel are absolutely legendary. The legend goes as follows: the spring waters were discovered and first utilized during the Ancient Roman Era.

The Romans discovered the beneficial qualities of the water and over the centuries other notorious figures throughout history have also discovered the healing powers of these springs, such as Archduke Luis Salvador.

Another legend states that the astounding qualities of the spring waters were stumbled upon by accident: in ancient times an epidemic was destroying the population of Mallorca with the exception of the wild animals that happen to be roaming the zones of the spring waters. People began to gather from all over the island around the springs because the healing powers of the water became so apparent.

In the XV century an oratory was built and dedicated in the name of Saint Silvestre and Saint Coma. This monument was built In order to honor the healing and cures that the springs had provided the people. In the beginning of the XVI century the first lodgings and stables were built to accommodate pilgrims that were in search of the ¨miracle waters”.

But, it was in the of the XIX century was the infamous doctor Juan Andres Nieto Samaniego studied the chemical composition and therapeutic properties of the spring water. He insisted that a center be created in order to take advantage of the virtues and medicinal benefits of the spring water.

Following his work, in May of 1845, the first building to house the thermal baths was inaugurated. It was an almost exact recreation of the actual springs. In 1916, the ownership of the baths passed from public to private into the hands of Cosme Maria Oliver.

Since then, the ownership has passed to the Cosmet family. Faithful to the spirit of continuous improvement, Fontsanta Hotel opens its doors in 2012 as an establishment that combines all the accommodations of an exclusive hotel with traditional Mallorcan style in which one is able to enjoy and benefit from the infamous spring waters.
