About AIRE Ancient Baths

AIRE Ancient Baths are temples dedicated to the creation of the ultimate relaxation experience, where time does not exist. Inspired by the tradition of baths from ancient Roman, Greek and Ottoman civilizations, the AIRE Experience always takes place in restored historical buildings in the centre of globally acclaimed cities.

We strive to create spaces and moments meant to balance and relax the body and mind, following ancient traditions of well-being. Using water as our key element, accompanied by sets of treatments and massages, curated to pursue and cherish a lifestyle of stillness and enjoyment. We have grown exponentially, under the basis of creating an immersive experience, into a world of calm and ease. We were born out of the desire to link the pleasure of indulgence with the opportunity to bask in a different world.

From the atmosphere, the music, candle lit rooms, or the Orange Blossom scent present in each corner of AIRE, every little detail is meant for complete peace and wellbeing. AIRE is unique from any other experience, since it is based in restored historical buildings spread across the globe, which are fundamentally full of magic and luxury.

AIRE Ancient Baths has an international presence with 8 established AIRE Locations in New York's Tribeca and Upper East Side neighbourhoods, Chicago, London, Copenhagen, Barcelona, Sevilla, Almeria and Vallromanes. We are already looking into the future and moving onwards, with our soon to be opened locations in Toronto and Los Angeles. We are, once again, eager to take our philosophy of well-being and relaxation wherever we go.
