Next to the miraculously healing thermal waters of Sárvár, the symbolic pentagonal Nádasdy Castle and the town’s shaded arboretum, Danubius Health Spa Resort Sárvár has written history in the past nearly quarter of a century.
Its unique location right next to a nine-hectare nature reserve and a marvellous atmosphere owed to plants submerged in light under the domes of an atrium are only one part of its mystery and attraction. The other part results from the kind smiles of staff, high-level services and continually developing and modern treatments.
In nature’s embrace – as the latest slogan goes, demonstrating well the hotel’s mission. Convalescence and refuelling with the powers of nature – waters and trees … and of course with good company.
You can spend days or weeks here without every leaving the hotel grounds.
Healing and Refreshing
The hotel has its own thermal spring, supplying officially recognised therapeutic water which gushes forth at a temperature of 48 degrees Celsius from a depth of 1,3000 metres. It has higher than average salt content, it is crystal clear and odourless because it contains no sulphur. The water owes its effectiveness to the high temperature, it is beneficial to the metabolism and the circulation of blood, relaxes the muscles, and rejuvenates and softens the skin.
After taking a bath, make sure you also visit the sauna. A new sauna complex has been built recently in Sárvár which includes a Finnish sauna, an infra sauna, an aroma cabin and a steam cabin, all of them in service of detoxication. The sauna oasis has direct access to the arboretum.
It is indeed difficult to choose from the comprehensive list of treatments offered by the hotel. In addition to a long list of traditional therapeutic services, there are numerous opportunities for wellness treatments, so one cannot even try them all during a short stay. Increasingly popular are the atmospheric individual treatment cabins where special massages are on offer, including Dead-Sea body treatments, Himalaya stone massage from Tiber, chocolate massage, exotic Lulur massage, natural Thai massage, mud pack treatments from Hévíz, Cleopatra bath with milk and honey, and rejuvenating oxygen inhalation.
