Looks like

a health resort with mineral springs

⚠️ The trap

'Spiaggia' means beach — not a spa. A spa in Italian is 'terme' (thermal baths) or 'centro benessere' (wellness centre). The connection to 'spa' is purely visual and accidental.

To say "a health resort with mineral springs" in Italian:

terme, centro benessere (for spa)

"spiaggia" in English means:

beach

Example

"Andiamo in spiaggia questo weekend!"

"Let's go to the beach this weekend!"
