Active wellness

Golf on a perfectly maintained green? Mountain treks with wonderful views? Cycling in a harmonious landscape on well-kept trails or fishing at any of thousands of ponds? In combination with the top class care you’ll receive at Czech spa and wellness facilities, such activities are the perfect cure for today’s civilisation diseases. You can also make use of popular managers’ programmes especially created for those with high workloads; these include not only a high standard of hotel services, but also the chance to stay in touch with your company via Wi-Fi. Enjoy a stay at Teplice nad Bečvou, for instance, where they offer exhausted managers a several day’s relaxation that includes oxygeno therapy, natural carbonic bath and wrap and echocardiography. The result is a thoroughly rested body and mind and recharged batteries that you can immediately apply at the office.

Go your own way by bike

Do you enjoy jaunts in an attractive environment? If so, there’s nothing simpler than exploring some of the many kilometres of marked routes in the environs of spa centres and enjoying the pleasure of movement through Nordic walking. You will find excellent conditions for that activity around Teplice nad Bečvou and Teplice v Čechách. After choosing from a variety of lengths and degrees of incline, you can stretch your body pleasantly and boost your fitness before later enjoying the care of a wellness programme. Is cycling your thing? In the Czech Republic it’s hard to find a place unsuitable for a bike ride, and that also applies to Czech spas and wellness centres. You can get to know the wonderful area around Karlovy Vary from the saddle of a bike, push your body in the mountainous parts around Velké Losiny, or enjoy a pleasant ride on the flat landscape surrounding Poděbrady.

From the greens to the massage table

Does the idea of playing golf during a nice lazy stay at a wellness resort appeal to you? If so, why not choose from over 100 Czech golf courses, many of which have their own wellness facilities, e. g. Golf Resort Konopiště, while others are located near hotels and wellness centres. More demanding clients may like to visit those around Karlovy Vary, Františkovy Lázně and Mariánské Lázně. The top class course at Mariánské Lázně was given the title Royal Golf Club by no less a personage than Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II. Is there anything more relaxing than fishing? You can sit in the shade of whispering trees and wait for a bite in the lovely area around Třeboň spa, for instance. However, if adrenalin sports are your idea of fun, why not go skiing around the mountain spas of Jáchymov, Karlova Studánka or Jeseník.

Places you just won’t want to leave

Where will you find the best conditions for active enjoyment? An ideal spot for perfect, harmonious relaxation at an aqua park and wellness centre with water sports and cycling is Hotel Frymburk at the resort of Frymburk, which is right on the Czech Republic’s largest reservoir, Lipno. If the idea of an exquisite day cross-country skiing followed by a relaxing massage or bathing sounds appealing, make your way to Hotel Praha in Špindlerův Mlýn. Meanwhile, for the perfect experience on the green at the Royal Golf Club, the Czech Republic’s oldest course, and being pampered at a superbly equipped wellness centre, we recommend Hotel Falkensteiner in Mariánské Lázně. Would you like to improve your tennis game during your stay? In that case, you will find the perfect conditions at Hotel Vitality in Vendryně, which boasts competition standard courts. They say the greatest view in the world is from the saddle of a horse. Test that statement for yourself at the Svatá Kateřina Resort in Počátky, which also offers wellness and rest stays. From there it is easy to explore the charming countryside around Vysočina by bike.
