Affordable spas for Easter break: Where to find relaxation under EUR 5 in Hungary

As the Easter holidays approach with the long weekend, it is time to take a look at some of the country’s most affordable spas where the full-day entrance fee is often below HUF 2,000 (EUR 5.08) and pensioners can enjoy a dip for as little as HUF 1,000 (EUR 2.54).

Termalfurdo.hu made and regularly updated a list of the 10 most budget-friendly thermal spas for regular and senior admissions, revealing a noticeable overlap in the top picks. These spas are spread across various regions, including two in Transdanubia.

For those in Budapest and its vicinity, affordable options in Pest County are available with the close senior-friendly spa just over an hour’s drive from the city centre, according to turizmus.com.

Spas under EUR 5

The Nádudvar Spa in the Great Hungarian Plain currently offers the lowest full-price admission at HUF 1,500 (EUR 3.8) for a full-day ticket, although it will be undergoing maintenance from the 31st of March until the start of the beach season.

Alternatively, the Mezőtúr baths provide entry for HUF 1,700 (EUR 4.3) with access to additional pools. In Transdanubia, Mesteri near Sárvár offers entry for HUF 1,900 (EUR 4.8), allowing access to five pools with earthy and calcareous thermal water.

Near the famous Saliris Spa in Egerszalók, the lesser-known Nostalgia Spa offers outdoor pools with the same water at a significantly lower price than its larger counterpart. The Nostalgia Spa is also open throughout the year.

The Sárrét Kincse Spa in Püspökladány offers an entrance fee of less than HUF 2,000 (EUR 5) and provides various treatments such as physiotherapy and balneotherapy, along with sauna, solarium and cosmetic services.

Nearby, Füzesgyarmat’s Kastélypark Spa offers indoor and outdoor thermal pools, a sauna and an entrance fee of HUF 1,950 (EUR 4.95). Other budget-friendly options with entrance fees under HUF 2,000 (EUR 5) include Nagyszénás, Tiszaföldvár and Tóalmás.

The best spas for pensioners

While some of the top ten spas for seniors overlap with those for adult tickets from previously mentioned baths, there are also new entries that are not among the cheapest for adult admission.

The Szent András Thermal Baths in Tóalmás offer the lowest pensioner’s entrance fee at HUF 1,000 (EUR 2.5), making it remarkably affordable, especially considering that its full-price ticket costs only HUF 2,000 (EUR 5).

The Göd Thermal Baths, located half an hour from Budapest, offer three pools for relaxation, seasonal amenities like a small beach and a children’s pool and year-round services such as massages. Pensioners can access these facilities for HUF 1,700 (EUR 4.3) while full-price entry is HUF 2,400 (EUR 6).

The Virágfürdő in Kaposvár, listed for discounted tickets for pensioners, offers a range of aquatic experiences including an adventure pool with massage elements, sauna facilities, swimming pools and spa services along with a beach during the summer. Pensioners can access the beach for HUF 1,700 (EUR 4.3).
