Piešťany
Europe's only Spa Island
On a beautifully landscaped island, with lily ponds and peacocks, in the middle of Slovakia’s River Váh, sits a complex of six Ensana spa hotels, all dedicated to your health and wellbeing. Piešt’any’s peacock emblem refers to the legend of the bird who wallowed in the island’s muddy swamps until its broken leg was healed. The island’s other symbol, a bronze crutch breaker, is also testimony to the power of the sulphurous muds and hot thermal water, that have given Piešt’any its centuries-long, global reputation for healing muscular skeletal and locomotive conditions.
Our famous Mud Pool, lit by shafts of light from stained glass windows under a vaulted dome, is a masterpiece of Art Nouveau design, rivalled nowhere else in all of Europe. Idyllic Piešt’any is a paradise spa island for health spa tourists.
