Spanish term or phrase:termolúdico
Similar to my earlier question, but this time it's an adjective and appears in expressions like "centro termolúdico", "espacio termolúdico", "instalaciones termolúdicas", etc.
As near as I can tell, it's just a fancy way (marketing speak) of saying "spa".
También aparece una extensa terminología asociada que responde sobre todo a exigencias y estrategias de "marketing": "club de salud" también denominado "health club"; "curhotel"; "centro de salud y belleza"; "centro termo lúdico"; "centro talaso-sport"; "parque termal"; "centro fitness"; "hotel-spa"; "centro vital"; "centro de salud natural"; "resort-spa"; "health center"; "centro termo lúdico"... Todos ellos pretenden estar integrados tecnológicamente en el S.XXI. http://tinyurl.com/4g4kf
Spas, aguas termales, clubes de salud (también llamados “centros termolúdicos” o “parques termales”) explotan el uso terapéutico de recursos naturales que ni siquiera la globalización logró trasladar a la ciudad o al barrio. http://pagina12web.com.ar/suplementos/futuro/vernota.php?id_...
I don't see why you couldn't just say "spa center," "spa facilities," "spa area" or just plain "spa" for the terms you have listed.

Unlike the standard sauna and steam room health suite, the thermal Hydro Spa experience will be a first of its kind in Scotland. A high quality, thoughtfully designed scheme incorporating specialist equipment from Europe will complement and quietly intergrate with the Castles historic and imposing Structure. The main feature of the spa area will be the Hydro Spa jet massage pool which will include an anatomically shaped airbed, powerful massage jets at various heights and a unique up-body massage fountain.
