where: 5700 Gyula, Part u. 5.

Gyula turns the lights down and the heat up every Saturday with Night Wellness at the Gyula Castle Spa (Gyulai Várfürdő), running 8:00 PM to midnight in the Castello Wellness and Sauna Park. Groups of friends, new couples, long-time partners—everyone piles in for a late-night reset that’s all about active rest, heat, steam, and starry relaxation. Make a weekend of it: the family-friendly Wellness Hotel Gyula sits in a gorgeous setting just 32.8 feet from the famous spa’s entrance, so you can float from bed to bath in minutes. Address for the spa: 5700, Part St. 5.

What’s Open After Dark

Guests get access to the Octopus Pool and the Shaded Pool, plus the full Castello Sauna Park. Aufguss sessions—those guided aromatic steam rituals—run in the Bastion (Bástya) sauna at 9:00 PM, 10:00 PM, and 11:00 PM. In the autumn and winter seasons, there are extra sessions in the Panorama (Panoráma) sauna at 8:45 PM, 9:30 PM, and 10:30 PM, so you can chase that eucalyptus cloud with a view before calling it a night. Entry is via the Winter Main Entrance during the season.

Tickets and Extras

Night wellness tickets cost about 9.74 USD per person. Aufguss add-ons are roughly 1.95 USD per person per session. The event runs every Saturday from 8:00 PM to 12:00 AM, giving you four full hours of warm-water drifting and deep-heat detox. Organizers reserve the right to change times and programs—keep an eye on updates and call for the latest details or to lock in your evening.

Stay Next Door at Wellness Hotel Gyula

The hotel’s Night Wellness package is built for a no-stress weekend. It includes two nights’ accommodation with full board—buffet breakfast, a buffet-style wellness lunch, and a buffet dinner—crafted by head chef Géza Farkas, with prices including 5% VAT. Every guest receives one massage coupon worth about 2.78 USD. There’s free Aqua Fitness three times a week, a VISIT GYULA CARD for local perks, wireless internet, an in-room safe, and bathrobes for shuffling between room and spa.

Wellness Oasis Access

Guests can use the hotel’s Wellness Oasis: Finnish sauna, infrared cabin, steam room, plunge pool, experience pool, Jacuzzi, kids’ pool, and loungers. There’s also a fitness room if you want to sweat before you steam, plus loyalty discounts for returning guests. The hotel leans into family-friendly in a big way: parents exhale in the spa, kids splash nearby, grandparents recharge—a genuine multigenerational escape that runs all year, holidays included. Full board at half-board rates is the standout promise across all packages, making longer stays a smart play.

Mark these Saturday slots: January 10, 2026 (Gyula); January 17, 2026 (Gyula); January 24, 2026 (Gyula); January 31, 2026 (Gyula). More dates are coming online—check back for updates and availability, or ring the team to get ahead of the rush.

Food, Games and a Nightcap

Away from the steam, the Körös Garden Snack Bar delivers laid-back bites in a cozy setting with foosball, darts, and billiards on hand. The menu ranges from international staples to light, healthy plates, with a spotlight on the flavors of Békés County—great if you want to taste the region between sauna rounds. The bar returns as a featured partner for the season, repeated because it’s a genuine crowd favorite for pre-dip snacks or post-sauna refuels.

How to Book

Call to reserve tickets, secure your massage slot, and set up your hotel stay. You can also request alerts, add it to your bucket list, or browse national event calendars to line up your perfect weekend. Entry is simple, the vibe is relaxed, and everything sits within a few steps: spa, hotel, bar, bed. Saturday nights in Gyula are sorted.

Pros
+
Family-friendly setup with kids’ pool, nearby hotel, and multigenerational vibe makes it easy for U.S. families to relax together
+
Very affordable by U.S. standards (about $9.74 entry; ~$1.95 per aufguss), so you can splurge on extras without guilt
+
Clear, repeatable schedule every Saturday night with multiple aufguss sessions, great if you’re planning a weekend
+
Hotel literally steps from the spa means seamless bed-to-bath convenience and bathrobes included
+
Low language barrier for basics—spa routines are intuitive, and you can mostly point-and-pay even if English isn’t perfect
+
Easy car access with a single address and compact layout; everything (spa, hotel, snack bar) is within a short walk
+
Unique after-dark sauna/thermal experience compares well to Nordic/German sauna nights but at a fraction of the price
Cons
Gyula isn’t as internationally famous as Budapest or Lake Balaton, so U.S. visitors might need extra research to plan the trip
Reaching Gyula from Budapest takes time (train or car 3–4+ hours), making it less convenient for short stays
Limited hours (8 PM–midnight) mean it’s a focused evening, not a full-day spa blowout
Aufguss culture is big in Central Europe but less known in the U.S., so first-timers may feel unsure without guidance
