A spa is a facility built around a hot water source that provides medicinal baths, wellness and beauty treatments.

  • bath:type=hot_spring – a general hot spring bathing facility

  • bath:type=sento – a Japanese hot water bathing facility (not a spring)
  • bath:type=hammam – a Turkish bath
  • bath:type=thermal – a bath using water form a mineral-rich spring with temperature over 20 °C
• shop=beauty + beauty=spa – a shop that provides personal beauty services such as hydrotherapy, skin refreshment and moisturizing. Also known as "day spa".
