aguas termales de manantial
Explanation:
I think aguas termales should be enough, but if you add "de manantial" it implies that they are not artificial, and the mineral is implied too.

manantial de aguas termales (calientes)


Explanation:
I think "calientes" can be omitted as "termal" implies "hot", but you can add it also.

Explanation:
Luego pensé en "Termas de Chillán" (Chile) y otras muchas que así se denominan en ese país, eso se traduce como "hot springs", es muy económico y sencillo.
