Summer in Slovakia is the place to be to relax!

British and Irish tourists started to discover Slovakia only 5-6 years ago. Most of the mass tourism focused on the winter season initially. Convenient transport links (direct flights from London to Poprad-Tatry international airport in the heart of Slovak mountains), great skiing and affordable price managed to attract increasing numbers of tourists from the islands and inspire their return to Slovakia in following season.The number of British and Irish nationals visiting Slovakia doubled since 2002 and they move onto discovering another of Slovakia’s numerous attractions – spa, thermal and water parks.

Slovakia has abundance of hot mineral waters originating in an underground pre-historic sea, hidden over a kilometer under surface, covering two thirds of Slovakia’s territory. Springs of healing mineral waters with various characteristics can be found through out the country and new wells are being drilled to use this unique resource for medical purposes as well as a source of geothermal energy. Leader in this regard is the region Liptov, the valley between High and Low Tatras and lately the most attractive tourist region of Slovakia.

Besides of Aquacity, the greenest spa and hotel resort in the world (Green Apple award 2005), located in Poprad, there is Thermal Park Besenova whose water has medical as well as cosmetic applications and various other smaller traditional spas. Great connection to London, healing waters, fully qualified medical and cosmetic staff, affordable prices and superb natural surroundings make Liptov an ideal place for your off-season wellness break.
