In the midst of winter, make an appointment at the very best of spas. It's an oasis of warmth and well-being on an exceptional site just 20 minutes from Cologne.

18,000 m² dedicated to well-being

It takes about twenty minutes by tramway from the Cologne Deutz train station to get to the Mediterana luxury spa complex in Bergisch-Gladbach. It's really worth the trip. Mediterana is an immense cocoon of warmth in winter and an oasis of relaxation in the midst of nature in the summertime. It's the perfect place to relax in any season. With 18,000 m² of indoor and outdoor space, 14 swimming pools and saunas, gardens, numerous relaxation areas and four thermal springs, this wellness champion collects superlatives and awards (five stars at Wellness Stars 2013, 1st prize at the European Health & Spa Award in 2013, etc.).

Change of scenery guaranteed

In addition to the size of its grounds and pools, Mediterana's secret largely resides in the way the facilities are laid out and staged. The grandiose and impressive setting is inspired by Moorish, Indian and Arabic art and provides a real change from the everyday. Spa, sport, massages, gastronomy, body care...the range of services offered seems limitless. Just plan out your agenda for the day or improvise!

Opening hours:
Every day from 9 am to midnight.
Thermal springs open from 9 am to 10:30 pm.
Massages from 10 am to 9 pm.

Coralie, 31 JOURNALIST BY DAY

I'm a translator and editor for several publications and I love the hidden side of the city, its secret gardens, its discrete gourmet restaurants and its new, high-design spots. Outings with my friends end late at night. My little extra: a dynamic, fun and really trendy Cologne!
