Spanish term or phrase: Aguas Termales

Se llama aguas termales a las aguas minerales que salen del suelo 5°C o más que la temperatura superficial. Estas aguas proceden de capas subterráneas de la Tierra que se encuentran a mayor temperatura, las cuales son ricas en diferentes componentes minerales y permiten su utilización en la terapéutica como baños, inhalaciones, irrigaciones, y calefacción. (ver Hidroterapia). Por lo general se encuentran a lo largo de líneas de fallas ya que a lo largo del plano de falla pueden introducirse las aguas subterráneas que se calientan al llegar a cierta profundidad y suben después en forma de vapor (que puede condensarse al llegar a la superficie, formando un géiser) o de agua caliente.

thermal waters

Explanation:
these are found at a "thermal bath" which is another name for a "spa" as in your context.

A thermal bath is a warm body of water. It is often referred to as a spa, which is traditionally used to mean a place where the water is believed to have special health-giving properties, though note that many spas offer cold water or mineral water treatments.

A thermal bath may be part of a destination spa or the reason that a spa town exists.
