Set within an arboretum-like park and just a short walk from Lake Hévíz, the multi-award-winning Hotel Carbona Thermal Spa welcomes guests in a stunning natural setting. Whether arriving as a couple, with a larger family, or in a group of friends, this hotel is an ideal destination. At this magical location, the experiences focus on well-being, inner balance, and health. Here, the bathing culture is experiencing a renaissance, with excellent wellness and beauty treatments on offer, exquisite gastronomy, comfortable rooms, and a wide range of activities to enjoy.
The positive effects of Hévíz’s water were known as far back as Roman times. The lake, covering 4.4 hectares, is Europe’s largest thermal lake with healing properties, surrounded by a 50-hectare protective forest. One of Hotel Carbona’s unique features is its own thermal water source. The composition of this spring water is identical to that of Lake Hévíz, allowing guests to enjoy its beneficial effects in an exclusive setting. The Roman-style thermal bath is fully secluded, offering a place where guests can relax, feel their muscles unwind, tension dissolve, and their skin become silky smooth, all thanks to the healing waters.
Alongside the thermal bath, other aquatic experiences await, with options such as the outdoor thermal adventure pool, open even in winter, the whirlpools, the massage pool, and a 25-metre swimming pool.
And then there’s the sauna! Hotel Carbona’s newly renovated sauna oasis is sure to impress even the most seasoned sauna enthusiasts. In addition to a professional Finnish sauna with the perfect high heat and humidity, there’s also a mildly heated aroma sauna, a salt room, and a steam bath. The tepidarium provides the perfect space for relaxation before, between, or after the heating phases. For cooling off, the ice sauna and experience showers are ideal. A bonus goes to the hotel for its consideration of guests who may not feel comfortable with the traditional nude sauna experience: they’ve created a separate ‘textile sauna’ where swimwear is allowed.
One of the ultimate indulgences here is undoubtedly a soothing massage. But which one? The hotel’s experts can assist with the selection, as in addition to the classic options, there are many exotic treatments, thalasso therapies, and Ayurvedic rituals. Those looking for more active pursuits won’t be disappointed either, with a wide variety of activities to choose from, ranging from water aerobics and yoga to lively Zumba sessions. The hotel is centrally located, making the lake and local attractions easily accessible on foot for a refreshing stroll. For exploring the surrounding area, guests can rent e-bikes or e-scooters from the hotel, making it easy to navigate the hilly landscape.
After a day filled with wellness and a delicious dinner, there’s nothing better than stretching out in one of the hotel’s newly refurbished, comfortable rooms. Take advantage of the pillow menu available to guests at Hotel Carbona—whether you prefer soft or firm, we all know that a good day starts with a good night’s sleep!
