The destination

Zalakaros and its surroundings

The thermal spa

Small town, big water

The Zalakaros Spa is Hungary's fifth-largest medicinal bath and is open every day of the year. In the 34–36 °C medicinal pools of the indoor baths you can enjoy the restorative effect of the Zalakaros water — felt above all for musculoskeletal and joint complaints, gynaecological conditions, and disorders of the nervous, circulatory and metabolic systems.

At the summer lido every age group finds its pool, from the medicinal sitting bath to the wave pool with six slides. The adventure baths offer hydromassage features and several saunas, while the spa centre welcomes guests with wellness and medicinal massages and physiotherapy.
