SPA Hotel Dvoretsa in Velingrad will undergo a complete renovation over the next year and a half, hotel owner Alexandra Vlahova told BTA. The project includes a large-scale renovation of the facilities and modernization of the spa centre.

The hotel will remain open during renovation, with only the spa area scheduled to be temporarily closed.

"Our entire concept is based on balneology, because we believe that when we have mineral water, the most important thing is to use it for therapeutic purposes. We are currently in the process of ordering lasers, magnets, Hydrafacial machines, and other new equipment so that the spa centre will be modernized to the highest standards," Vlahova said.

The spa centre and pools are supplied by three water sources with different mineral compositions, including sulfur-rich water used in therapies for the musculoskeletal system. There are also three pools with different temperatures, suitable for contrast bath therapies and stimulating blood circulation.

Facilities include tangentors for underwater jet massage, used in rehabilitation and restoration of soft tissues.

The spa centre features the only natural marble hammam in the city, and offers magnetic therapy treatments, performed by qualified rehabilitation specialists following a doctor’s prescription. Ultrasound facial treatments are also available, which target fine lines on the face, as well as Pomorie mud treatments, which have a very beneficial effect on injuries, when combined with magnets, Vlahova added.

Once the renovation is complete, the spa centre will employ a doctor who will prescribe medical therapies.
