Health and Spa Wellness in Serbia

The great natural wealth of Serbia is reflected by the existence of more than one thousand springs of cold and warm mineral water. Although only about fifty of them are currently in use, there is a huge potential for the future development of the others.

The spas are mainly located at the foot of the mountains, surrounded by forests and shielded from extreme weather conditions in the summer and the winter. Such places have favorable geographical locations filled with fresh unpolluted air. Apart from treatments intended for curing different health problems, wellness programs intended for keeping the vitality of the body are becoming increasingly present in the spas too.

The most famous spas are Vrnjacka Banja, Banja Koviljaca, Zlatibor, Sokobanja, Atomska Banja, Banja Junakovic, Vrdnik, Niska Banja and others.
