Maybe you should translate it differently in the title (where a catchy expression is needed) and in the text (where precision is more important).
What about these options:
Winter fun in the world of spa.
Our thermal park includes several swimming pools, saunas etc.

U.S. English: "world of spa facilities"
In North America, we call "Thermen" hot springs, but we don't build facilities over them usually--they are often natural pools you have to hike out to. So the whole concept of a "Kurpark" with a hotel won't be readily understood by North Americans who aren't familiar with European spa culture. A greater difficulty is that a "spa" here can be (a) a hot tub, (b) any treatment involving massage/cosmetics/pedicure, etc., (c) a hot spring, (d) a European spa, (e) a health club. So, my recommendation is "world of spa facilities," since we're talking about swimming pools and the like. Other answers are good, too--but I'm just concerned that the text be conveyed clearly for a North American audience.

Because it is the heading of a tourist brochure it should be eye-catching
