History of Spa Resorts in Hungary
Already the Romans knew to use the power of thermal springs for curative reasons. Thanks to many natural thermal baths in Hungary, the country is one of Europe's most renowned destinations for spa and health trips. The bathing culture of the Hungarians is very health conscious and lively which is why you can find young and old all enjoying the warm thermal pools in the many health resorts.
The surroundings of our health spa hotels in Hungary are characterised by bubbling springs, picturesque, mainly flat landscapes, glistening lakes and the river Danube flowing gentling through the country, almost dividing it in half. Some of our health spa hotels in Hungary are closely located to Lake Balaton, with 78 km the largest lake of this diverse country.
Thermal Tradition in Budapest: Budapest thermal baths have a century long history and tradition. Over 2,000 years ago, the first thermal springs were discovered under the city close to the Danube river, Buda Hills and Gellert Hill. Due to the highest density of thermal springs (more than 125) compared to any other capital city in the world, Budapest owns many health spa hotels around these areas.
When visiting our health spa hotels, you will be able to overlook the glistening Danube river. Built in the years 1873 and 1918, both health spa hotels have traditional architecture. Feel the history of thermal springs on your skin when smoothly sinking into the warm therapeutic pools and enjoy the exceptional service by the professional staff.
The layout of the health spa hotels is mostly very similar: they offer multiple indoor thermal pools with varying temperatures from warm to hot, (infrared) saunas, ice-cold plunge pools, salt caves and massage rooms.
If you are visiting one of our health spa hotels for wellness purposes, you might find some time to enjoy a stroll through the culturally rich city of Budapest.

Bad Zalakaros:
Its status as the city of healing thermal springs originated in the 1960 when hot volcanic springs were found by coincidence during drill works for oil. Since then, thermal baths and curative hotels have been built and attract many visitors searching for relieve of their symptoms. These symptoms mainly cover rheumatic, dermatologic and gynaecologic/urologic problems. But the health spa town is not only known for its curative and relaxing thermal water: Surrounded by romantic vine- and fruit yards, visitors can explore the region on bikes or by foot in the midst of green nature and a rich flora and fauna in this region all year round.

Hungarian Culture and Culinary
With your stay in one of our health spa hotels in Hungary, you have the unique chance to dive into the world of the traditional Hungarian cuisine. To fulfil the ultimate living-abroad experience, you should give it a go and try the extravaganza of different flavours of the Hungarian cuisine. With spicy, rich and creative flavours, the Hungarian cuisine is a delicious discovery for many of our customers.
Traditional Hungarian dishes are mainly based on meat, seasonal vegetables, fresh bread with a dip (e.g. sour cream), dairy products, fruits and cheeses. The best-known national Hungarian dish certainly is goulash (Hungarian: gulyás). Internationally known as a meat stew, it actually is a soup made with meat. Hungarians have different names for it: Pörkölt and Tokány.
Used for flavouring the goulash and many other dishes, is the one of the key ingredients the red-powdered spice paprika. With its peppery and spicy taste, it adds a kick to every meal. Onions, potatoes, noodles, cabbage are other basic stables of the Hungarian cuisine. Palacsinta is another favourite. It is a pancake and often rolled or wrapped around different kinds of fillings.
Throughout the world, Hungarians are known for their delicious cakes and pastries. Brought to Hungary by the Turks, the flaky pastry dough called phyllo or filo is originally made out of honey and nuts. Hungarians brought their own twist to pastries and cakes by using own ingredients such as cherries, apples and poppy seeds. Et voilà: the famous dessert called strudel was born.
Culture and Nature in Hungary
Hungary has a rich culture which is strong in folk traditions. Coming to Hungary you might notice its distinctive style, mainly influenced by various ethnic groups such as the Roma people. Music is another important factor of the Hungarian culture and the everyday life; it ranges from folk to classical.
For history-interested guests, Hungary is home to many Calvinist and Orthodox churches as well as to Roman Catholic churches. Additionally, the Dohány Street Synagogue, also known as the Great Synagogue and located in Budapest, is the largest synagogue in Europe.
If you are a nature and culture lover, Hungary has a lot to offer. Create memories while relaxing and treating your health. Enjoy calm lakes and rivers, breath-taking views on nature walks and discover the pure beauty of the Hungary’s countryside.
