Spa and Health

 

The Czech Republic is a spa superpower. Nowhere else in the world will you find such a concentration of healing springs as in the West Bohemian “Spa Triangle”, made up of the towns of Karlovy Vary, Mariánské Lázně and Františkovy Lázně.
 
As the unique Czech spa experience combines both therapeutic treatments that make the most of nature in addition to medicinal remedies, you’re sure to feel rejuvenated. Spas here all make the most of the local climate and natural resources for healing treatments, be it mineral waters, peat or mud.
 
Indeed, the Czech Republic has a long history of pioneering spa treatments. Back in 1906 the doctors at the Jáchymov Spa took up the revolutionary scientific discoveries of Marie Skłodowská Curie and were the first in the world to start using the therapeutic effects of radon water. Jeseník Spa on the other hand has Vincenz Priessnitz who founded the first hydropathic institution here in 1822, to thank for its fame.
 
The Czech spa industry has a tradition stretching back several hundred years across thirty-seven spa locations. Here are ten of the most notable Czech spas:  
There are many stereotypes about Hungary: goulash, beautiful women and an impenetrable language, to name but a few... But leave them at home. If you know where to look, Hungary is a secret garden of healing and wellness.
Poland offers over 200 spa and 40 health resorts. You’ll find then located all over the country, from big cities to small towns. Visitors can choose from luxurious resorts to smaller centers with a unique atmosphere.
 
The centers widely use hydrotherapy treatments thanks to the natural abundance in Poland of different kinds of mineral waters. Other recommended treatments involve drinking the waters and the use of therapeutic mud and there is growing demand for more unusual treatments such as oxygen bars and salt caves.
 
The biggest natural salt cave in Poland, and perhaps one of the most unique health resorts in the world is the Wieliczka Salt Mine Centre, located 135m underground. Salt caves are found in more than 40 towns across Poland, and have a rich tradition as a place for health treatments particularly for respiratory illnesses. Recently these centres have successfully expanded their classical offering to include regeneration, beauty and relaxation treatments, including those from the SPA range (Sanus Per Aquam – health through water).
 
The Wieliczka Salt Mine mine itself has been mined since the 13th century and includes 300km of galleries with works of art, altars, and statues sculpted into the salt.
 
We invite you to experience Poland’s spa and health and beauty treatment centres to see for yourself the natural remedies that will help restore your health and joie de vivre. Whether you simply wish to relieve stress and fatigue, or indulge in some beauty treatments, there’s a spa in Poland for you.
