Awards and Certificates
A Thoughtfully Chosen Location
Where Ancient Geology Meets the Philosophy of Nature
Sapareva Banya is one of Bulgaria’s smallest yet most extraordinary destinations. Deep underground, powerful volcanic heat forces mineral water through limestone rock at a record 103°C. This is the hottest geyser in the Balkans and one of the hottest in all of Europe.
The Romans discovered the healing power of these waters, while centuries before them, the Thracians chose the valley for its restorative warmth. Today, the majestic Rila Mountain provides the pure air, crystal-clear water and absolute tranquillity that are becoming an ever-greater luxury in the modern world.
