Amazing news: Special saltwater spa opens in Transylvania with new look

In Praid (Parajd), the centre of the Salt Region in Transylvania, an indoor spa was inaugurated in 2015. After more than six months of closure, the Praid Wellness Center reopens this week. The year-round facility offers an extensive array of services to guests.

The newly opening Wellness Center offers a saltwater pool, a freshwater pool, a children’s pool, two jacuzzis and a sauna area for guests, Termál Online reports. The main attraction of the spa, which is owned by the municipality of Praid, is its special saltwater. It is mainly used to treat musculoskeletal and articular problems, dermatological, gynaecological and respiratory diseases.

Although it is a young facility, a major renovation was needed. Thus, the spa, which welcomes 120-140,000 guests a year, closed in mid-September last year. It was estimated at the time that the works would take two to three months, meaning that even in the worst-case scenario they could reopen for the end-of-year holidays.

However, unexpected defects were found during the works, so this deadline could not be met. There were also serious structural problems, with some columns requiring structural reinforcement. According to Termál Online, this was probably due to the fact that the saltwater had eroded many of the building elements over the years.

Promised to reopen in February at the beginning of the year, it was once again delayed, this time by a month.
