Spending a day at a spa is one of the best ways to relax after a long day of sightseeing. If you happen to be in San Miguel de Allende, La Gruta Spa deserves a spot on your bucket list.

This city in the Mexican state of Guanajuato is home to several breathtaking spas, but none of them compares to this one. La Gruta can be translated to grotto or a cave, and that name perfectly captures the essence of this unusual spa.

One of La Gruta’s most picturesque attractions is its darkened tunnels, leading up to a rocky cave where you can enjoy hot thermal water. It’s truly a soothing and ethereal experience, and the photos taken inside the tunnel look out of this world.

La Gruta also offers open-air pools, massages, steam baths, and aromatherapy to tourists and locals. A restaurant and bar are also located on the premises, so you can enjoy some local foods before dipping your toes in the water.
