Resort description
Ensana Thermal Margaret Island Health Spa Hotel 4*S in Budapest is a modern medical and wellness complex on the picturesque Margaret Island in the middle of the Danube. The resort operates according to the Ensana Health philosophy, which combines natural healing resources, medical expertise, physical activity, proper nutrition and stress management into a unified system of health restoration. It is this integrated approach that triggers the body’s natural self-healing mechanisms. The effect lasts up to 6-12 months.
The basis of all programs is mineral water from its own spring. Enriched with calcium, magnesium, bicarbonates and sulfates, it rises from a depth of more than 2000 meters at a temperature of about 43°C. It is used in baths for warming and pain relief, in drinking cures to normalize metabolism and in inhalations for respiratory diseases.
The resort specializes in the treatment of diseases of the musculoskeletal system: arthritis, arthrosis, osteochondrosis, rheumatism, osteoporosis, chronic back and neck pain. Thermal water and mud applications are particularly effective for chronic inflammatory processes.
