Hotel Orbel SPA sits at the eastern edge of Dobrinishte, right above the mineral springs, with views to the Pirin, Rila and Rhodope mountains — a friendlier, more boutique alternative to the big resort next door.
The spa and the water
For a three-star it's generously kitted out: an indoor mineral pool (~32 °C) and a seasonal outdoor pool, a mineral-water jacuzzi, a salt jacuzzi, a Turkish bath (hammam), a Himalayan salt sauna and an ice barrel, plus lawns and sports facilities. Dobrinishte's alkaline, fluoride- and silica-rich sulphate-sodium water is used for the kidneys and urinary tract, the stomach and liver, respiratory infections, detox and skin healing — the gentle, pure profile shared across the village. The salt-and-contrast features give it more variety than the price suggests.
Who it suits
Couples and families who want a warm, good-value ski-and-spa base 6 km from Bansko, with characterful salt-and-mineral facilities over a big-resort scale.
