Sulfur Spring Nokalakevi

Sulfur Spring Nokalakevi sits where a natural hot mineral spring meets the cold Tekhuri River, near the ruins of Archaeopolis in western Georgia. The site is part of the larger Hot Waterfall project, which is building out day-visit infrastructure — thermal pools, a café, changing rooms and showers — around a spring that already flows year-round at the surface, with water measured at 76–82 °C at the wellheads and cooling to around 70 °C on the cascades below.

Right now the draw is straightforward: a natural hot spring and waterfall set against a mountain river, with the beginnings of a built-up bathing area rather than a finished resort. Visitors come for the outdoor thermal baths and the setting rather than a long treatment menu — this is closer to a hot-springs stop than a full-service spa, though an on-site restaurant or café is part of the current offering alongside the outdoor baths and thermal pool.

Access is on a day-pass basis, and parking is available on site. According to the listed hours, the site operates on Sundays around the clock, with no listed hours for the rest of the week — worth confirming directly before planning a visit, since this kind of schedule is unusual for a developing attraction. Future phases mentioned by the operator include a dedicated spa with tiny houses and, longer term, a forest hotel by the river, so the facilities here are likely to expand over time. For now, expect a natural hot-spring site with basic amenities rather than a polished wellness resort, and check current conditions and pricing with Nokalakevi directly before heading out, given the site's early stage of development.
