The basis of traditional spa treatment in Karlovy Vary is a unique and unrepeatable natural resource - mineral water, the effects of which have been proven by centuries of practice. The quality of the mineral water has remained unchanged over the centuries. Most of the elements of the periodic table are present in the Karlovy Vary springs; over 40 elements necessary for the human body are commonly analyzed. In addition to the thermal mineral springs, other natural resources support the treatment, like natural healing gas used for dry gas baths or peloids (peat), which after some preparation and heating are used for compresses and wraps.

Use of natural resources at the Carlsbad Plaza Hotel

The Carlsbad Plaza Medical Spa & Wellness Hotel 5* Superior is one of the few hotels in Karlovy Vary that has a direct thermal mineral water supply to the hotel, which is used for drinking cures and traditional spa treatments provided in the Medical Spa Gallery and private Spa Suites. The use of medicinal gas and peat found in the vicinity of the mineral springs is a standard feature. Combined with modern therapeutic techniques and state-of-the-art equipment, we achieve excellent results in the treatment of our guests.
