3 Spa and Wellness resorts in Romania to visit this summer
If you're looking for a place to relax and recharge this vacation, spa resorts can be a great choice, if you know where to look. Perfect destinations for such a vacation in Romania include Băile Herculane, Sovata, and Covasna. Here, nature harmoniously blends with health and wellness treatments.
Here are a few reasons why you should plan your vacation at a spa resort in our country.
Băile Herculane - An Oasis of History and Nature
One of the oldest spa resorts in the world, Băile Herculane boasts a history that dates back over two millennia. Located in Caraș-Severin County, this resort is renowned for its thermal and mineral waters known for their therapeutic properties.
Benefits and Treatments:
- The sulfurous thermal waters are ideal for treating rheumatic and peripheral nervous system conditions.
- Due to its valley location, the air rich in aerosols has beneficial effects on the respiratory system.
- Mud baths are effective for alleviating dermatological and rheumatic conditions.
In addition to these benefits, a vacation at Băile Herculane offers impressive landscapes and mountain trails that invite you to hike and explore nature.
However, it should be noted that "unfortunately, Băile Herculane is today an example of decaying spa heritage. Most balneoclimateric facilities are closed, access to thermal resources has been limited, and the historic center has fallen into a state of abandonment," according to the Herculane Project website.
Even so, "from this decay, elements can be extracted to shape a new beginning, which could be the vectors for a new stage of development for the resort town," the same source adds.

Benefits and Treatments:
- Therapeutic mud, for example, can be used in various procedures to alleviate joint and muscle pain.
- The salt-rich air around the salt lakes is undoubtedly beneficial for those with respiratory problems.
- Sovata is the perfect place for those seeking a peaceful atmosphere and relaxing walks through the surrounding fir and spruce forests.
