★★★★★

From

200 / night

SPA Hotel Dvoretsa is an imposing five-star hotel in the heart of Velingrad, a few steps from the centre — handy for the bath-houses, restaurants and the Kleptuza park without needing a car.

The spa and the water

What sets Dvoretsa apart is a treatment programme delivered by qualified therapists and medical specialists, putting the accent on supervised, therapeutic care. The water side runs year-round: a large outdoor thermal pool, two jacuzzis and a smaller, very hot mineral plunge. Velingrad's alkaline, fluoride-rich water is applied here above all to cardiovascular health (including high blood pressure) and medically-guided rehabilitation, alongside the usual musculoskeletal programmes.

Who it suits

A good fit for travellers who want a doctor-led balneo stay with a central location, and for couples who like dining options — there are two restaurants, including the Italian Aria Freska, plus a lobby bar.
