Our journey starts in Eforie Nord, with its Health SPA Complex. Iuliana Tasie, general manager, told us about the attractions:



We have an offer for treatment across the year, but especially in March-April and October-November. During these months we strive to offer better priced packages, various promotions and discounts, depending on one’s budget. All our treatment packages include salt water procedures at Techirghiol Lake, in the health center pool, with therapeutic mud, massage, medicinal baths, including exams by the centre’s balneologist. We offer four-star conditions for both the hotel and the SPA, at good prices for this time of the year. The shortest stay is six days. We also have packages of 2, 12 and 18 days, depending on the ailment. The 12 to 18 day package is for people with more serious problems. We have packages for young people, who need only rest and recovery, not treatment. We are talking about detox cures, anti-stress packages, which include a smaller number of procedures in the same range of physical therapy, mud baths, plant baths, massages, mud massages, and many more options. In the balneo package, which is the most complex, with four procedures a day, we also have electrotherapy, paraffin treatments, and many more procedures specific to rheumatic conditions.”



The hotel hosting this health center is famous all over Europe, and has a private marina with 60 boats, both in summer and winter. Here you can rent boats, and can take diving lessons or navigation courses.In the Olimp-Neptun resort, only 50 m away from the beach, there is a 4-star hotel with a SPA center, open between April and October. Iulian Constantinescu is the sales and reservations manager:

During this period of the year, we offer a discount for all early bookings before April 1, with a 15% discount on our packages for accommodation and SPA. We also propose a thalasotherapy wellness package, seven nights and six days spa, with three relaxation sessions a day, which include hydromassage with essential oils, medical baths, mud packs, dry flotation, Vichy shower massage, mud massage, aroma relaxing massage, as well as water gymnastics. If you come here for medical SPA, we can offer you our balneo-vitality packages, including seven nights accommodation and six days of SPA, with four therapy sessions a day, who will be set depending on test results issued by our physicians. Of the therapies we offer we can mention mud baths therapeutic massage with aromatic oils, mud massage, submerged massage, hydromassage, with essential oils or medicinal salt from Bazan, herbal baths, kinetotherapy, hydro-kinetotherapy, electrotherapy, magnetic therapy, laser therapy. We also offer anti-aging packages for our guests, including treatments with Gerovital.”



Lower down south, in the resort of Venus, there are more treatment centers. Ion Lucian, the manager of one such hotel, provided us with some details:



You are eagerly awaited here between April 15 and October 30. We have available the entire range of medical SPA procedures approved by the Ministry of Health, we have the infrastructure to deploy them, using the specificities of the area, such as medicinal mud and mesothermal waters, but also geriatric treatments, magnetic therapy, electrotherapy, kinetotherapy. We have special tubs for electrotherapy, medical baths, diapulse and magnetic therapy.”



No matter which SPA center you pick for your treatment, you will feel the effects within three days at the most. For long-term effects, however, we recommend a minimum of seven days, but preferably 12 or 18 days.
