Monchique Thermal SPA | The Origin

A concept born from the "Sacred Waters" of Monchique


The natural mineral water of Monchique springs from the depths of the earth, on a slope located in the tectonic valley that divides the Serra de Monchique.

Água de Monchique has been known since the time of the Roman presence in the Iberian Peninsula, as attested by archaeological remains found in the region, and Latin inscriptions referring to the water from "Mons Cicus" (the Latin origin of Monchique) as "sacred".
