West Bohemian Mariánské Lázně is a pearl among spa towns. Chopin, Goethe and King Edward VII also boosted their health here. Discover the magic of the healing springs in the luxurious MARIA SPA resort.
Maria’s Spring, rich in carbon dioxide, was the first local spring that people began to use for its healing properties. The spring therefore gave its name to the entire town and also to the hotel in whose grounds it is located. Maria Spa Hotel is part of the Ensana Hotels group, and thanks to the nearby legendary spring, guests can experience not only a drinking cure, but also inhalations and the effects of Maria’s original gas lake with oxygen therapy (the rejuvenation method of MUDr. Knára). They will get to know at firsthand the healing secret of natural peat, which was used here for treatments for the first time in Europe. There is a choice of mineral baths with natural CO2 and peat extract, massages or wraps, and a number of other wellness procedures. Guests also have access to the Roman Baths and Sauna World complex at Nové Lázně Hotel, free use of the Aqua Wellness Centre at Hvězda Hotel, and Premier Fitness with cardio at Centrální Lázně Hotel.

In 2018, the resort also expanded its accommodation capacity with 16 new comfortable bedrooms with terraces, from which there is an attractive view of the park, where guests can relax, exercise in the outdoor gym, participate in barbecue events, or simply admire Maria’s Pavilion, which houses Maria’s unique natural gas.

Lake Neusiedl, nicknamed the “Sea of the Viennese”, lies on the border between Austria and Hungary. Its shallow waters, salt pools and reed beds form the heart of the Seewinkel nature reserve – a landscape that has rightly been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is here that the Vila Vita Pannonia resort was built. A place for perfect relaxation.
