Slovakia is leading the way when it comes to health and wellness travel with a huge focus on spa breaks, fitness and adventure and even medical tourism, so when I got the chance to supplement the physical sports and adventure activities Slovakia was offering me with a range of activities focused on mental and physical wellbeing I jumped at the chance!
The only problem is no one told me I would be spending a significant portion of it naked! This is a paid article written in partnership with Adventoura Slovakia with products or services supplied by them.

Slovakia is not well known for health and wellness tourism, but it really should be! The focus on health and wellness in Slovakia moves far beyond the expensive luxury treat as it is seen in most of the western world, and is far more culturally ingrained here. Health and relaxation is stressed as part of a holistic, balanced lifestyle and spas and resorts devoted to the pursuit of wellness are both plenty and affordable.
Aiding this focus on health and wellness, Slovakia has a vast underground system of registered thermal springs and geysers, and with very few exceptions is one of the largest and most concentrated sources of natural healing water in Europe. This vast network of springs feeds the dozens of specialised spa resorts, fitness centres, pools and health and wellness clinics throughout the country, allowing you to take advantage of the natural minerals instead of chlorine and other chemicals.
