Rivera-Ticino: Splash e Spa Tamaro 4-Hour SPA Entry Ticket — A Relaxing Mix of Wellness and Water Fun

If you’re looking for a place where you can unwind yet still have some fun, the Splash e Spa Tamaro in Ticino offers a pretty good combo. We haven’t been there ourselves, but based on all the details out there, it’s designed to give visitors a balanced experience—part spa retreat, part waterpark adventure.
What we really like? The variety of saunas and pools that cater to relaxation, and the stunning views you get from the outdoor pools. On the flip side, the cost might seem steep if you’re planning a longer stay, and some amenities like towels and parking are extra. Still, if your idea of a good day involves both pampering and a few thrillrides, this might be just right for you.
This experience could suit travelers who appreciate a wellness-focused outing with a dash of excitement, especially if you’re in the Ticino area and craving a break from sightseeing. It’s also suitable for those comfortable with a 4-hour window, and you don’t mind paying a little extra for comfort items like towels and parking.

What You Can Expect at Splash e Spa Tamaro

Imagine stepping into a space where relaxation meets fun. The day begins with access to the spa side, which features four different saunas, including a salt sauna with Himalayan salt walls — perfect for those seeking a detox or just a calming heat. You’ll also find a traditional hammam, complete with a warm water pool and soothing underground music, creating a tranquil atmosphere.
The iodine brine pool is highlighted for its therapeutic benefits, and it’s set in a spacious garden area, which means you can enjoy some fresh air while floating or lounging. For a bit of contrast, there’s a snow room — a quick cool-down that’s claimed to boost circulation and reduce stress, a favorite among those who enjoy the invigorating side of wellness experiences.
Throughout your time, you can participate in sauna rituals and walk the Kneipp path, which involves guided foot baths aimed at improving blood flow and relaxation. These added touches make the spa feel thoughtfully curated rather than just a collection of pools.
Once you’ve unwound enough, the waterpark section kicks in. It boasts seven water slides, including newer additions like the Twister and Cannon Bowl for 2023, which are likely to entertain adrenaline junkies. The outdoor pool offers stunning panoramic views and a spacious terrace perfect for lounging after some splashy fun. Indoors, water jets and pool bars keep the atmosphere lively and relaxing simultaneously.
The Spa Experience: The Details

The spa area is the core of this experience. We loved the idea of a salt sauna—walls made of Himalayan salt not only look beautiful but are thought to enhance breathing and skin health. The traditional hammam offers a warm, steamy environment complemented by underground music, creating a sensory experience that many find soothing after busy days.
The iodine brine pool stands out as a therapeutic highlight. Its mineral-rich waters are believed to support skin health and relaxation, making it more than just a regular swimming pool. The snow room might seem unusual, but many reviews mention how refreshing and invigorating a quick stint in there can be, helping to boost circulation and reduce stress.
The sauna rituals and Kneipp path add depth to the wellness offering. Sauna rituals often involve aromatherapy or guided experiences that can make the heat sessions more meaningful. The Kneipp path, with its foot baths, provides a gentle but effective way to invigorate your circulation.
Waterpark Highlights

The waterpark portion is where the fun really kicks in. The seven slides include some newer options like the Twister and Cannon Bowl, which promise to deliver thrills for all ages—though note that under 16s are not allowed, making it more suitable for teens and adults. The outdoor pool provides a peaceful spot to cool down and enjoy the scenic surroundings, while the indoor area offers a variety of water jets and loungers immersed in water, perfect for those who want to relax without leaving the pool area.
Many visitors mention that the waterpark isn’t overly crowded, especially during off-peak hours, so you can enjoy the rides and pools without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. The pool bar is a bonus, making it easy to grab a drink or a snack without leaving the water.

At $68 per person, this ticket is a decent deal considering it covers both the spa and waterpark areas for four hours. Given the variety of saunas, pools, and slides, you’re getting a good amount of entertainment and relaxation in one place.
However, keep in mind that towels and bathrobes are extra, so you’ll want to budget around additional costs if you prefer not to bring your own. Parking isn’t included either, which could add to your expenses depending on where you’re staying. For some, the price might seem high for just a four-hour window, but if you’re looking for a day of wellness and fun, it’s fairly competitive.
