There are three ways in, and they answer different questions: a setting if you know what kind of water you want, a place if you know where you're headed, a feature if you're after one particular thing.

Springs
Water that comes up hot on its own, and the pools built to hold it. This is where the directory started.
By pool setting
Browse by feature
Hot water comes out of the ground in more places than most people expect. Where We Bathe is a free directory of the venues built around it: mineral springs, the bathhouses that pipe them indoors, and the saunas and cold plunges that grew up alongside. Researched properly, then set out plainly. How hot, how cold, and for how long.
Nothing here ranks because a venue paid for it. Read the entries, then choose by vibes.
