Imagine soaking in a warm beer Jacuzzi while sipping cold brews and nibbling on snacks—sounds quirky, right? For those visiting Alicante in Spain’s Valencian Community, this beer spa experience offers a relaxing twist on wellness that’s both fun and unexpectedly soothing. Priced at $79 per person and lasting about an hour, this activity is a delight for couples, groups, or anyone with a curious palate and a sense of humor.
What we love most? First, the combination of relaxation and taste. Who wouldn’t enjoy unwinding in a bubbling tub filled with beer extracts while enjoying a cold drink? Second, the friendly guide and quality snacks make it feel more like a social event than just a health treatment. However, a possible consideration is that the experience is relatively short—just an hour—so if you’re craving a longer spa day, you might need to supplement this with other activities.
This experience suits those who enjoy quirky wellness activities, beer lovers, or travelers seeking something authentically local and a little different from typical sightseeing. If you’re looking for a relaxing way to unwind after a day of exploring Alicante’s historic sites or beaches, this beer spa might just be your new favorite.

The setting is described as tranquil, with a focus on relaxation—an ideal environment to let go of stress. The spa is wheelchair accessible, making it inclusive for a variety of guests, and supplies swimwear and flip-flops if you forget your own, which is handy since you’ll be spending your time in the water.
The Itinerary: What Happens During the Hour
Your journey begins the moment you arrive, greeted warmly by friendly staff. You’re quickly made comfortable, and the calming atmosphere sets the tone. The core of the experience is sitting in a wooden barrel filled with hot bathing beer. This isn’t just about fun—there are believed health benefits like skin rejuvenation, muscle relaxation, and immune support, thanks to the natural ingredients in beer.
While in the Jacuzzi, you can sip on cold beer—a real treat—and nibble on tasty appetizers that include cheese, beer jam tastings, and chocolate. This pairing of flavors enhances the sensory pleasure, making the experience feel indulgent without being overdone.
Next comes the beer sauna, which is designed to help the body absorb the vitamins and minerals from the beer extracts. The warmth and steam promote muscle relief and a sense of wellbeing. Following this, you’ll lie back on a barley bed—a unique feature of this spa—intended to aid skin health and foster deep relaxation.
Additional Treatments and Options
If you’re feeling extra indulgent, you can opt for a massage available on site, which can deepen your relaxation. While not included in the initial price, it’s a popular add-on among visitors looking for a bit more pampering.

What Makes the Beer Spa Stand Out?
We appreciate the combination of wellness and fun. Unlike traditional spas—often focused solely on relaxation—the beer spa offers an experience that feels playful but also has potential health benefits. The beer sauna and barley bed are not typical spa features but add a distinctive touch that makes this excursion unique.
Plus, the friendly guides and high-quality snacks elevate the experience from just a novelty to something genuinely enjoyable. The reviews are filled with praise for the helpful staff and delicious offerings, which add to the sense of being well cared for.
What Could Be Better?
The main drawback might be the short duration—an hour flies by quickly, especially if you’re in the middle of a busy sightseeing day. Also, the experience doesn’t include treatments like massages unless purchased separately, which some might find limiting if they’re seeking a full day of pampering.
