Thermal Pools
Did you know Bulgaria is ranked 2nd in Europe only after Iceland in number of hot springs? There is nothing better than relaxing in warm mineral water after a long and busy work week (or day on the slopes :-). Unlike public swimming pools, thermal pools don’t contain harmful chemicals for cleaning the water and the minerals penetrate the skin naturally to have their positive effect on the body. There are over 30 hot springs around Bansko in the villages of Banya (5km away) and Dobriniste (8km). You can reach both by car or go on a leisurely bike ride to earn your soak. Further away and great as day trips out of town are Ognyanovo, Sandanski, Marikostinovo and Rupite (famous for its mud baths).
Some of our locals’ favorite hot springs are “Izgreva”, "Regnum Thermal Spa" and “Villa Victoria” in Banya as well as “Alpha Spa” in Dobriniste (and don't miss the secret hot springs). For a full list of the hot springs and spas in Bansko, check this blog.

Spas
Many of the 4* and 5* hotels in Bansko offer day spa services to guests and visitors alike. If you aren’t staying at one of them and are interested in face and body procedures, then you could look up the closest one to you on the map. There are also a number of certified freelance massage therapists, aestheticians, and physiotherapists in town that can offer high quality services at a fraction of the cost of the hotel spas.
