description
Our hotels are of the highest standard; luxury spas and saunas and heated, therapeutic, mineral rich pools and a cutting edge Cryotherapy centre, and all created with the very latest green technologies.
Many people combine nearby skiing and winter sports with the opportunity to relax in our heated pools, spas and saunas after a day on the piste. In summer they come just to enjoy our splashingly good water park and the luxury of our hotels and their surroundings. Set in the stunning panorama of some of the most awe inspiring scenery in Europe you’ll find lots to do right on our doorstep, whether you’re a ‘culture vulture’, a demon shopper or want explore one of the most beautiful landscapes in Europe.
Spa and wellbeing: Ever since the Romans made bathing in heated pools popular, everyone has recognised the benefits of luxuriating in warm, mineral rich waters. We have been blessed by nature with access to a totally natural subterranean aquifer where water has been gradually absorbing soothing, curative, natural minerals over the last five hundred thousand years. We offer a range of indoor and outdoor pools; a Roman Bath experience for the 21st century.
After a hard day on the ski slopes what better way to prepare for tomorrow than soothing those tired muscles in a heated, mineral rich bath? We have a traditional Finnish Sauna, ice cave, whirlpool Jacuzzi and tanning room with UV lighting system.
We are proud to announce that our Slovakia holiday resort is now home to the very latest and most luxurious whole body CryoTherapy chamber centre anywhere in the world. First developed in Eastern Europe as a treatment for high performance athletes, the WBCC treatment has rapidly progressed to being used in main stream medicine as an effective and recognised treatment for a range of syndromes including arthritis, cellulite and depression. The Whole Body CryoTherapy Chamber consists of two specially constructed “cold rooms” around the size of a small sauna. CryoTherapy treatments are all taken under strict medical supervision by a fully qualified physician.
Fitness and leisure centre: We have our very own exclusive health club. Heated by our geothermal waters, the Olympic sized pool (50m) is the perfect place for serious exercise or lane swimming. We have our very own state of the art fitness and workout gymnasium area. Fully equipped with all of the latest in fitness, rowing, resistance, and cycling machines, there are also treadmills, and free weights.
The gym is staffed by fully qualified fitness instructors who are always on hand to help and assist you should you require them.
Water park: With a whole range of indoor and outdoor pools, slides, flumes, children’s play areas, saunas and steam rooms, bars, cafes and restaurants, our water park is everything you can imagine for a perfect fun filled family time. From the thrills of the twisting flume to the gentle children’s slides, there is always fun to be had in our indoor and outdoor pools.
Poprad, close to the Polish border, to the North East of Slovakia, is home to our resort. Located at the foot of the High Tatras, a magnificent European mountain range second only to the Alps in elevation, it is a bustling administrative, economic and cultural centre dating back to the 13th Century. The nearest airport is Poprad-Tatry, which is about 15 minutes transfer from the hotel. This airport is served by twice weekly flights from London. There are also daily flights to Kosice (via Prague) and this is approx 2 hours away.

how this holiday makes a difference
 We play a vital role in the local economy by providing employment both directly and indirectly to many local people. By encouraging visitors to come to the area, the resort plays a very important part in the development of the local tourist industry and the associated improvements in local infrastructure which result. The ethos behind our resort is about the prevention of environmental pollution and minimising the production of 'greenhouse gasses' and global warming. We also positively contribute to the sustainability of the local economy and the environment, working to preserve the future by investing in sustainability. By using the geothermal energy efficiently we save approximately €2.5million every year on our energy costs. Our use of the geothermal energy means that it is Europe’s first virtually carbon neutral hotel and resort complex. We continue to invest in environmental and energy efficient technologies, with an aim of being totally energy self sufficient by the end of 2007. We have invested in a state of the art UV filtration system, which means that we only use about 10% of the chlorine as compared with other public swimming baths, further reducing the impact of the resort on the local environment.  For every guest who flies with us from the UK to our Slovakia holiday resort, we work with the organisation Climate Care in order to offset the carbon dioxide emissions associated with the return flight, thereby ensuring that as many parts of the holiday as possible are carbon neutral. We endeavour to use local suppliers and to employ people from the local community as much as possible. The resort is partly owned by the town of Poprad and the resort also plays a vital role by investing a part of its profits into the local community. |
Tourism can be good and bad for destinations & local people. We carefully screen every holiday against our criteria for responsible travel. 'Look behind the brochure' to find how each holiday makes a difference (see left). We don't claim to be perfect - there is no global accreditation - but we've led the way since 2001 and screened 1000's of holidays. We invite every traveller to write a review about their experiences and responsible tourism. This valuable feedback is sent to the people who run the holidays. We keep a very close eye on it and take off holidays that don't live up to our standards. |
