Looking for a break that soothes both body and soul? The thermal bath in Jászszentandrás (Jászszentandrás) is rolling out the welcome mat for a full weekend of wellness, from Friday, July 4th to Sunday, July 6th, 2025. It’s the ultimate recharge, whether you’re aching from a tough week or just want some serious relaxation.
Wellness Wonderland in the Heart of the Village
Tucked away at 14 Martyrs Street (Mártírok útja 14), the Jászszentandrás spa doesn’t just promise a soak—it delivers a real reset. Rich in minerals, the thermal waters are not only blissfully warm and soothing but are also known for easing nagging pain in your muscles and joints. Find your calm in the steaming sauna, or let every bubble in the jacuzzi wash your stress away.
The bath complex is more than just hot pools. There’s a swimming pool for those who crave laps, and a dedicated children’s pool where little ones can splash all day. If you’d rather stay for several days, the venue offers cozy apartments and guesthouses. You can also opt for classic camping, with spots for tents and caravans, or choose one of the charming four-person log cabins. The entire setup is nestled inside a huge 215,000-square-foot park, right in the heart of the village.
Open all year round, this is not just a one-off treat. You can enjoy the healing waters and tranquil green spaces any month you like.
Plan for Summer…and Beyond
Yes, this special spa weekend runs July 4–6, but there are wellness weekends happening practically every week. June wraps up with an extended relaxation period, running from June 30th to July 6th. For those who need more options, additional long weekends are planned throughout July, August, September, and October—so there’s always another dip on the horizon.

Perfect Basecamp: Where to Stay
If you prioritize comfort, several five-room guesthouses right across from the spa offer enough space for 11 people each—perfect for families or groups of friends gearing up for a wellness-focused getaway.
Campers, caravan travelers, and tiny house fans can set up base at the on-site campground. The large park offers everything from grassy pitches to the convenience of four-person log cabins. With everything so close to the spa, moving between relaxing dips, meals, and your pillow takes just minutes.
Eat, Drink, and Be Very Merry
You can hardly unwind on an empty stomach. In the peaceful outskirts of Jászberény (Jászberény), the Golden Eagle Restaurant (Aranysas Étterem) stands ready for hungry and thirsty guests. This air-conditioned, two-story gem can seat 140 people and always has a lively atmosphere thanks to its rich Hungarian menu. Upstairs seating fits 100, the lower level hosts 40, and the sunny terrace fits another 30. Whether you’re after a family dinner, a corporate team event, or just a spot to let your taste buds party, this is it.
Wine lovers are spoiled for choice. The area boasts family wineries on the southern slopes of the Mátra Hills (Mátra), just a stone’s throw from Jászszentandrás. Wines from Abasár (Abasár), Domoszló (Domoszló), and Gyöngyös (Gyöngyös) offer flavors ranging from spicy tramini to fragrant muscat and classics like olaszrizling (Welsh Riesling). Many wineries offer not only tastings, but also traditional pairings like homemade pogácsa (savory scones), artisan cheeses, and full meals on request.
Local wine producers manage dozens of hectares of vineyard, many keeping traditional winemaking alive alongside modern techniques. Some sell wines in both bottles and jugs, with tastings for groups of all sizes and village guesthouses right next to the cellars. Unique treats like grape must, jams, honey, and even grape jelly are also available, so dedicated foodies will be in seventh heaven.
Heritage and Tradition in Every Glass
The Petrény family, for example, traces its winemaking back to the early 1600s in Verpelét (Verpelét) and still carries on their craft from generation to generation. Meanwhile, estates like Purgely (Purgely) on the slopes of the Mátra continue to blend grape cultivation and wine production in the traditional way.
What’s Next?
Whatever your pleasure—healing soaks, summer festivals, or local food and wine—the organizers are always adding fresh programs and activities. Schedules can change, so always check before you go.
For a rejuvenating escape just a short trip from the city noise, Jászszentandrás offers all the steamy baths, countryside calm, and hearty flavors you could want—for a single blissful weekend, or whenever the mood strikes.
