Looking for the ultimate way to recharge? The Day Spa Wellness Package at Balneo Hotel Zsóry Thermal & Wellness (Balneo Hotel Zsóry Fürdő és Wellness) in Mezőkövesd (Mezőkövesd) offers a refreshing escape even for those not staying at the hotel.

All-Day Access – No Overnight Stay Needed
This one-day Day Spa package is designed for visitors who want the full wellness experience without booking accommodation. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be greeted with a welcome drink. The package allows you to choose between a three-course lunch (soup, main course, and dessert) or access to the hotel’s dinner buffet. Throughout the day, guests have full use of the entire wellness area. In addition, amenities like parking, locker use, and internet access are all complimentary.
Bright, Nature-Filled Relaxation
The wellness area is designed with spacious glass walls overlooking a lush garden, making the space open and filled with natural light. A highlight of the area is the adventure pool—perfect in both summer and winter. Swim through one of the two outdoor swim-out lanes and experience the thrill of floating in 86°F water as steam rises around you on cold days, or relax in the 86–89°F jacuzzi corner to complete your experience. Both are open daily from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM.
The Power of Thermal and Therapeutic Waters
As a certified medicinal hotel, Balneo’s thermal pools are filled directly from the Zsóry (Zsóry) spring, famed for its mineral-rich, healing water at 93–100°F. The pools have recessed seats on both sides so you can truly relax and enjoy the therapeutic soak. The pools are open from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM.
A separate swimming pool, measuring over 41 feet long and 26 feet wide (at 55–82°F), is also available, equipped with a counter-current system for more intense workouts. The depth is 55 inches, making it ideal for both exercise and unwinding afterwards in the warm pools. Opening hours match those of the adventure pool: 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM.
Sweat, Steam, and Chill – The Sauna World
Detox your body and energize your mind in the complex’s sauna zone. Choose from a classic six-person Finnish sauna with a convenient plunge pool, an infrared sauna, a revitalizing steam room, ice fountain, and a salt therapy room. Sauna masters are on hand to indulge you with infusions and ceremonies that enhance the experience.
The traditional Finnish sauna delivers an intense, high-temperature session for serious detoxing. For those who prefer sauna in the nude, a naturist Finnish cabin is available—step in with just a towel to unlock the full benefits of heat therapy.
The infrared sauna operates at lower temperatures, gently heating the body from the inside out and boosting circulation, so even those sensitive to heat can enjoy it. In the steam room, thick clouds of 104–122°F steam at nearly 100% humidity help you breathe easily and leave your skin rejuvenated.
After these hot sessions, the ice fountain provides an invigorating cooldown. Spread crushed ice over your skin for an instant tingle and improved circulation, leaving your skin glowing.
The salt room, with walls made of salt blocks and humidity of 70–85%, provides air therapy that’s especially helpful for guests with respiratory concerns, such as asthma. Relax inside for 30–40 minutes a day for best results.
Massages and Treatments
Choose from a wide range of massages and therapeutic treatments based on the healing Zsóry water. Whether you’re looking to prevent illness, recover from injury, or simply relax, the expert therapists offer packages for everyone. Massages are available daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
