Gyula turns Saturday nights into a warm, steamy ritual. From 8 p.m. to midnight, the Gyula Castle Spa (Gyulai Várfürdő) throws open the doors of the Castello Wellness and Sauna Park for Night Wellness, a weekly splash of relaxation that draws groups of friends and couples, young and old. It’s the kind of evening that unknots shoulders, rests the mind, and gives wellness fans a reason to linger in the glow. If you want to make a night of it, book a room right next door at Wellness Hotel Gyula—this family-friendly stay sits just 32.8 feet from the main entrance, wrapped in greenery and quiet.
What’s Included on Saturday Nights
Guests can float between the Octopus Pool (Polip medence) and the Shaded Pool (Árnyékolt medence), then heat up in the Castello Sauna Park. Aufguss sessions pour extra heat and aroma into the night: at the Bastion Sauna (Bástya szauna), expect ceremonies at 9:00 p.m., 10:00 p.m., and 11:00 p.m. In the autumn and winter seasons, the Panorama Sauna (Panoráma szauna) adds more views and more heat at 8:45 p.m., 9:30 p.m., and 10:30 p.m. Entry for the night is 3,500 HUF per person, which is about 9.80 USD. Aufguss tickets are 700 HUF per person per session, roughly 1.96 USD. Arrivals use the Winter Main Entrance, and the vibe stays unhurried and cozy all the way to midnight.
Where to Stay: Wellness Hotel Gyula
The hotel’s package includes two nights with full board—buffet breakfast, a smorgasbord-style wellness lunch, and a buffet dinner guided by chef Géza Farkas’s generous kitchen. The offer includes 5% VAT and a handful of extras that make the wellness rhythm feel effortless. Each guest gets one massage coupon worth 1,000 HUF (about 2.80 USD). There’s free Aqua Fitness three times a week, a VISIT GYULA CARD for local perks, and hotel-wide Wi‑Fi to keep you connected. Rooms include in‑room safes, and the Wellness Oasis is yours to roam: Finnish sauna, infrared cabin, steam room, plunge pool, adventure pool, whirlpool, children’s pool, and lounger areas all within easy reach.
Fitness, Robes, and Return Perks
The fitness room is open for workouts that balance all that steaming and soaking. Robes are provided, so you can drift between your room and the pools without thinking about packing extras. Returning guests get loyalty discounts, and families find details tailored for every age: parents sink into wellness, kids splash, seniors recharge, and couples slip into the romance of Gyula’s historic backdrop.
Dates and Rhythm
Circle the Saturdays: January 3, 10, 17, and 24, 2026, all in Gyula. More dates will roll in as the year opens up. The organizers reserve the right to adjust times and programs, but the Saturday night heartbeat remains steady from 8:00 p.m. to midnight.
Family-Friendly, Year-Round
Wellness Hotel Gyula leans into its family-first promise. The historic, romantic setting makes it a magnet for couples, lively for friend groups, playful for children, and restful for seniors. It’s not just a summer or holiday break: full-board packages are offered year‑round at half‑board prices, including on public holidays, making it a go‑to escape in every season.
Where to Eat and Unwind
Beyond the pools, the Körös Garden Snack Bar sets the mood for easy bites and laid‑back evenings. It’s not just about the menu; it’s the atmosphere. Expect foosball, darts, and billiards on hand, and a spread that swings from international favorites to lighter, health‑focused plates. There’s also a proud nod to Békés County’s culinary traditions, so you can taste the region between sauna sessions.
How to Plan It
Grab your Night Wellness ticket, line up a couple of aufguss sessions, and slide into a weekend rhythm that refreshes without rushing. Book a room steps from the entrance, pack your curiosity, and let Gyula turn Saturday into your favorite ritual. Organizers may update details, so check in before you go—and then leave the clock to someone else while the steam does the rest.
