Hungary is an ideal holiday destination for refreshing body and soul. This unique country is blessed with an abundance of thermal water having one of the largest thermal and medicinal water reserves and the largest thermal bathing lake in the world. The combination of its well established bathing culture, excellent and modern facilities ensures that everyone can find what they are seeking. Whether you're after relaxation, refreshment or recovery, Hungary can't fail to meet your needs.

The Romans heralded the first golden age of ’spa’ in Hungary, and the remains of their bath complexes are still to be seen in Óbuda. The spa culture was revived after the Ottoman invasion, the Turks constructing a number of bathhouses – some still functioning today – to make use of the thermal springs in Buda. In the 19th century, advances in deep-drilling techniques and medical science provided the springboard for a further leap in bathing culture.
Grand spas such as Gellért, Lukács, Margaret Island, and Széchényi reflect this resurgence in popularity.

Balneotherapy – the use of thermal water for medical treatments – continues to be an effective therapy. It is now complemented with more popular wellness treatments, which have been introduced from all corners of the globe. What makes Hungary unique, however, is the atmosphere of history and tradition to be found in its spas.

NATURAL RESOURCES AND SIGNATURE TREATMENTS

1. Thermal Water
Rich in minerals and warmed by the heat of the earth’s interior, thermal spring water is prevalent below the surface of most of Hungary. The mineral content of the water varies depending upon location, each area offering slightly different health benefits and effects. Through clinical studies and hundreds of years of experience, thermal water is known to be especially effective in the treatment of mobility disorders. In addition, the relaxation benefits of the water have made Hungary famous, attracting visitors to its many thermal spa complexes.

Signature treatment – Bathing in thermal water
Length of treatment: 20-30 minutes daily.
What to expect: A deep relaxing sensation and pain relief for aching muscles and joints.
Effects: Vary depending on location and mineral content of the water; generally, however, it is known to be effective in the treatment of rheumatism, arthritis and other muscular skeletal complaints

2. The Famous Mud from Hévíz
In most of our Hungarian spas, mud from the natural thermal lake of Hévíz is used as a core signature treatment. The mud, which has been soaked in the lake’s thermal water, comprises decomposed aquatic plants, sulphur and has a high mineral content.

Signature treatment – Mud packs
Length of treatment: 20 minutes
What to expect: The body is covered in thick, hot mud (around 40 ºC in temperature), and wrapped up tightly in a blanket. At first the body feels hot, but as it adjusts to the temperature there is an intense relaxation effect.
Effects: A reduction of muscle tension, pain and inflammation. The sulphur and minerals are absorbed through the skin to the ligaments and cartilage, promoting a healing reaction.
