History

The Termas da Amieira (or more precisely, what remains of them) are located in the municipality of Soure, very close to Figueira da Foz and Montemor-o-Velho, surrounded by beautiful rice fields.

There are records dating back to before 1900 describing the site as having a chapel, several houses, a hotel, and multiple bathhouses that made use of its miraculous water, which received several awards for its therapeutic properties, especially in treating skin ailments. At a time when travel was difficult, the thermal baths still attracted around 1,200 to 1,300 visitors per year. The water was so abundant that, in addition to local use, it was distributed throughout the country and even exported to Africa. These waters were the first in Portugal to be classified as chlorinated and earned multiple recognitions.

Accommodation Project

Termas da Amieira Tourist Village and SPA

The Tourist Village and SPA Termas da Amieira project aims to transform the historic thermal baths in the municipality of Soure into a premier destination for wellness and nature tourism. Created by entrepreneur and manager José António Guardado Carvalho and currently promoted by GÉO MUNDO – Unipessoal Lda, the holder of the project’s exploitation rights, the initiative is led by Christine Coelho Francisco.

The project focuses on heritage restoration combined with innovation and sustainability, aiming to attract investment and create a unique tourism offering in the central region of Portugal. This project includes the participation of FastCapital, which supports innovative initiatives and drives the growth of new businesses through smart financial solutions.
