Resort description
Ensana Grand Margaret Island Health Spa Hotel 4*S is located on Margaret Island in Budapest. Patients at Grand Margaret Island stay in the historic building dating from 1873, while using the infrastructure of Thermal Margaret Island — the medical center and thermal pools — for treatment and wellness.
The wellness concept is based on the use of the region’s natural healing factors combined with evidence-based medicine. Patients have access to treatments using thermal water, which is extracted from the springs of Margaret Island and contains calcium, magnesium, sodium, and bicarbonates. The exposure of these trace elements relaxes muscles, improves blood circulation, and reduces feelings of stiffness. Therapeutic mud (peloids), which have anti-inflammatory and regenerative effects, are also used.
The resort is suitable for patients recommended for the treatment of joint and spinal diseases, post-injury and post-surgery recovery, as well as comprehensive programs for associated cardiovascular, respiratory, dermatological, and metabolic disorders. Both classic sanatorium courses and shorter wellness stays are available, with the duration determined by a physician after an initial consultation.
