Last year, on the last day of June, the entire newly renovated complex of pools and sauna world at the Thermal hotel in Karlovy Vary opened after a demanding reconstruction. During its first year of full operation, it was visited by almost two hundred thousand people – twice as many as the centre welcomed each year before its long-term closure. In the next year, Saunia, the company that operates the facility, plans to grow its visitor numbers by 30 percent. In addition, the largest Czech pool party will be held here during the Karlovy Vary festival.
“On average, the Saunia Thermal Resort complex is visited by over 16,000 people a month. There is interest not only in summer, but also in winter, because the water temperature in the pools is the same all year round – 32 degrees in the relaxation pool and 38 degrees in the hot spring pool. The first year of full operation is thus coming to a successful end, but the potential of this place is still far from being fulfilled. In the second year of operation, we plan to increase the number of visitors by 30 percent,” says Bohumil Píše, director of Saunia.
During the Karlovy Vary festival, the largest Czech pool party will take place in the historic Thermal pool. Well-known Czech DJ’s will perform, there are competitions for children and adults and there will be a special offer of mixed drinks.
Saunia Thermal Resort includes a thermal pool, a relaxation pool and a sauna world. The thermal swimming pool with spring water at a constant temperature of 38 °C allows visitors to take therapeutic baths all year round with a unique view of Karlovy Vary. The large relaxing outdoor pool offers both swimming and relaxation, and is interspersed with a number of water attractions. The water is pleasantly warm in all weathers, even in winter it is 32 °C. The unique sauna world then offers a total of eight saunas with four types of cooling and regular sauna ceremonies. The sauna world is connected to the thermal pool, so visitors can enjoy the unique relaxation that tourists from all over the world come to enjoy at the resort.
