Budapest is famous for its exclusive spa offer. However, we decided to look for luxury spa destinations outside the capital. And we were amazed by what we found! Travel with us to the beautiful Hungarian countryside and discover excellent spa resorts.
Harkányi Gyógy was declared the best Hungarian spa in 2019. There is no doubt about its qualities, such as the amazing location and perfect service. However, we headed elsewhere, away from the mass tourist routes.
South of Bratislava lies the Hungarian spa town of Sárvár, the origin point of the world famous thermal spring Bad Sárvár. We fell in love with the luxury Spirit hotel, one of the unique spa hotels that have their own thermal spring. It springs from a depth of 1,056 meters and provides water supply for the hotel pools. In total, there are 22 swimming pools, 9 saunas, a luxurious hamman spa, and you can also enjoy first-class beauty treatments. How would you like to have a private hot tub in your room? You can treat yourself to a soak here!
Saliris is a luxury hotel located in a large park about 6 km away from the spa town of Egerszalók in the north-west of Hungary in a stunning environment that's unique in Europe.
The 1900 m² water surface features 17 swimming pools, a sauna world and a fitness center. But even more interesting than what is hidden inside the hotel is what it is surrounded by!
The thermal spring rises on the southern side of the town and the limestone hill is formed by water runoff. Over the years, it has become a symbol of this area and is known as the "salt mountain". Such a formation is unparalled in Europe, similar ones can be found only in Pamukkale, Turkey and Yellowstone National Park, USA.
The thermal waters have been identified as medicinal in 1992. The water has a temperature of 65 - 68 °C and has been ranked among the best in the category of sulfur medicinal waters. It contains calcium, which has anti-inflammatory effects, and sulfur, which is an important part of the cartilage in our joints. The water has a beneficial effect on eczema, helps with skin problems, musculoskeletal disorders, gynecological problems and cardiovascular diseases.
In the northern part of Hungary, in a town whose name sounds like a tongue twister - Miskolctapolca, 1 km from a cave spa, surrounded by nature amidst the Bükk Mountains, lies the Avalon Resort. You will find here a luxurious heated outdoor pool, as well as a great opportunity to try out painless QMS rejuvenation. The method has revolutionized skin rejuvenation and was declared the world's best wellness product.
