World Bathing Day & the Global Sound Bath 2025
Sunday 22 June, 2025
on 22 June, people around the world are invited to celebrate humanity’s common connection to water through the practice of hot springs bathing
On World Bathing Day, thermal hot spring bathing facilities all around the world will come together and put on their own vibrant display of events, each with a focus on water’s profound ability to bring us together and to stoke our deep connection to the natural world. Time spent together in water allows us to relax, to recharge and to reawaken our deep connection to the planet that supports us.
Throughout the day on Sunday 22 June, we will be hosting a program of arts and culture events in celebration of World Bathing Day, complimentary with your bathing booking — simply secure your place for Revitalise bathing and join in the celebration.

get involved
All are encouraged to get involved in this year’s celebration of cultural bathing practices by sharing their favourite local water rituals — whether it’s weekly team sauna sessions, or hot spring soaks with friends.
World Bathing Day taps into our collective need to reconnect with each other and with nature, and the global bathing community invites everyone to participate through a bathing experience that resonates with them. Get involved in this year’s event by sharing images of your favourite hot springs bathing experiences on social media with the hashtag #worldbathingday
The Global Sound Bath
A key component of World Bathing Day is the Global Sound Bath, an initiative that invites us to reconnect through the therapeutic and meditative aspects of sound in unification with water. Sound Baths are mesmeric experiences connecting sound and sense to oneself through powerful waves produced by gongs, harmonic drums and singing bowls among other resonant tools.
In the weeks prior to June 22, out thermal bathing partners from around the world film musical acts performing at their hot springs, from which we collate a shared summary video featuring all the magic. As we celebrate World Bathing Day, we will share all the the national and global performances with our communities online.
