The world famous Sulphur Springs in Soufriere are mineral rich mud pools perfect for balneotherapy..healing through the practice of bathing in therapeutic waters. Managed by a not for profit organization called the Soufriere Regional Development Foundation, plans are underway for night bathing, the introduction of massage and other additional therapies on site. It is thought that a dip in the sulphur springs for three consecutive days rids one of negative energy and blockages.
Indulge in rejuvenating and restorative treatments like no other. Home to the region’s only drive-in volcano, you will experience a unique site plus benefit from the therapeutic power of the hot mineral-rich springs. This natural phenomenon, named the Qualibou Caldera, leaves a marked impression upon those who stand above peering into its murky depths.
