Hungary’s cheapest thermal bath reopens: Borostyán welcomes visitors again!

After several months of closure, the Borostyán Camping and Strandfürdő in Mezőkovácsháza has reopened its thermal pool, giving locals and tourists alike the chance to enjoy one of the region’s most affordable wellness spots.

Months of waiting come to an end

The southern Békés County facility had closed its doors on 1 August 2025 due to technical problems that made safe operation impossible. According to Beol, the management at the time explained that the necessary repairs were essential to ensure visitors’ safety. For months, locals eagerly awaited news of the pool’s reopening, and the wait finally ended on 27 December 2025.

Sándor Serfőző, CEO of Mezőkovácsházi Településgazdálkodási Kft., confirmed that the reopening was made possible by the completion of technical repairs, successful maintenance work, and positive water quality results. “We’ve also improved the pool area’s comfort, ensuring an enjoyable experience even in winter conditions,” he said.

Modern upgrades and nighttime charm

The thermal pool has undergone winterisation and now features energy-efficient LED mood lighting, enhancing the atmosphere for evening and night visits. According to the management, these upgrades provide visitors with an extra dimension to their bathing experience, particularly after dark.
