Bains de Llo

The baths are closed for renovation until 4 December 2026. Access to the sauna and the hammam was already closed for works after a fire, the treatment institute is shut and the apartments are unavailable. The works are described as renovation and enlargement of the pools, financed with European Union and Occitanie regional support.

Bains de Llo sits on the Route des Gorges at Llo, in the Cerdagne at the eastern end of the French Pyrenees, above the gorges of the Sègre. Its water is a natural sulphur and mineral spring which the operator gives as above 35 °C in winter and 34 °C in summer. Sulphur and sodium dominate; the operator attributes to the water an effect on rheumatic and muscular pain and on skin and hair, and notes that warm water eases mineral absorption through the skin and that immersion aids lymphatic drainage.

Before the closure the establishment offered five pools, outdoor and indoor, arranged as a signposted Parcours Vitalité, for which the operator gives these temperatures: a large swimming basin at 35 °C, a Spa Tonique and a Spa Relaxant both at 35 °C, and an indoor basin and indoor jacuzzi at 37 °C, which were opened to the air for the summer. Around thirty stations make up the thermo-ludic area, among them massage hydrojets, bubble benches, water cannons aimed at the neck and shoulders, and floor jets for feet and calves. A separate wellness section held a sauna, a cold-water walk, a mountain hammam and a sensory hammam.

There were aquagym classes on Monday and Saturday mornings outside school holidays. Published summer hours were 10:00 to 20:00 daily, with the pools cleared fifteen minutes before closing. The operator also runs a Spa Nature treatment institute using Phyt's natural cosmetics and rents apartments on site.
