Piestany Spa

Spa History

The first written mention of the healing springs is from 1549. In 1778, the first bathhouses were built. The medicinal health spa business began in 1830.

Although Piestany spa history dates back to the 16th century, the town has been internationally famous since the 19th century.

The health spa was leased to the Winter family in 1889 and gained fame among numerous famous personalities including aristocrats, and royalty.

Natural Healing Resources

Thermal mineral water springs from more than 2,000 meters below ground. Its surface temperature is 67 - 69 °C (153 – 156 °F), and so it is cooled before use in the spa.
The thermal mineral water is high in sulfur, positively affecting the healing of chronic mobility, muscular-skeletal, and inflammatory conditions such as arthritis and rheumatism.

Sulfurous mud is blue-almost-black peloid sediment harvested from the banks of the town’s river Vah. The mud is marinated in the thermal mineral water for a whole year before its use in treatments.
It has exceptional physical, chemical, and biological qualities; and is certified throughout the European Union for therapeutic purposes.
