Trafalgar Falls
Be at the gate at eight, when it opens, and you have the viewing platform nearly to yourself. Past it, a scramble over boulders leads to warm pools fed by a hot spring.

Papillote Wilderness Retreat
A small inn beside the path to Trafalgar Falls, set in a botanic garden planted on hot spring ground and worked since the 1960s. Heliconia, ginger and fern beds run down the slope with hot pools among them. The restaurant serves walkers coming off the falls trail, and the garden can be visited without staying the night.

Screws Sulphur Spa
Six pools of different temperatures step down a leafy hillside on the edge of the village, threaded with cascades and fed by the springs behind them. Volcanic mud wraps and massages are offered alongside the bathing. The spa was built up over years by its owner, known locally as Screw, and it is the best known of the bathhouses here.

Wotten Waven Sulphur Springs
Open air pools built into the hillside above the village, fed straight from the vents in the Roseau Valley and tempered with cold river water on the way in. Mud from the same ground is set aside for scrubs. Several of the baths stay open past sunset, when the tree frogs start up and the valley cools.
