Bäder

English translation: bath (or water) treatments/therapies

German to English translations [PRO]
Marketing - Tourism & Travel
German term or phrase: Bäder
Various spa descriptions - all the usual stuff with massages, saunas, beauty treatments, mud packs, reflexology, facials - you name it, they offer it!
But "Bäder" stands alone in several of the spas' list of amenities and services.
These are not steam baths, and "bath" alone sounds silly...
Any ideas?

baths


Explanation:
I think that "baths" includes all kinds of baths that you can find in a spa ( Turkish, thermal,relax, whirlpool...)

agree  Rebecca Garber: hydrotherapy is like dihydrogen monoxide. Sounds really impressive in a spa description and just means bath (or water).
