Resort description
NaturMed Hotel Carbona is an international-level medical resort specializing in thermal therapy and rehabilitation for patients with musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal, and neurological problems.
The resort is located in the center of Hévíz, within its own 4.6-hectare park, and has direct access to unique natural healing factors: the thermal water and therapeutic mud of Lake Hévíz. Since 1976, Carbona has established itself as one of Hungary’s leading medical centers, utilizing world-class balneological resources.
The resort’s main advantage is its direct connection to Lake Hévíz. The mineral water filling the pools at NaturMed Hotel Carbona has a slightly radioactive composition, containing sulfur, calcium, magnesium, and hydrogen carbonates, providing powerful anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.
NaturMed Hotel Carbona is suitable for patients recommended for treatment based on thermal water, mud therapy, physiotherapy, and the mild microclimate of the Balaton region. Typically, a wellness course lasts from 7 to 21 days and includes daily procedures: balneotherapy, mud applications, therapeutic massage, and physiotherapy. A unique procedure at the resort is underwater spinal traction in thermal water.
