What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the word sanatorium? We’re sure it’s either an oxygen cocktail or a mud bath, but it’s certainly not elite healthcare institutions. In fact, health tourism has gained new popularity in recent years.

Half an hour’s drive from St. Petersburg is the most well-known health resort First Line. The sanatorium offers guests a variety of medical programs to choose from, from detox to instant rejuvenation. But what really impressed us personally is the location of the property. “The first line is located right on the coast of the Gulf of Finland”. I agree, mental health problems with this appearance will disappear on their own.

In the resort town of Mineralnye Vody there is one of the highest quality sanatoriums “Istok” with a 5-star rating. The building where the health center is located appeared in 1906 and has not changed its purpose since then. That’s why you need to go to Istok at least to be inspired by the sights of local nature and enjoy the clean mountain air. And don’t worry, despite its glorious past, the hotel is very modern. If you are looking for treatment programs, there are detox and anti-stress courses here. And another interesting fact about the hotel – here the treatment is carried out on mineral water with the name of the city.

Mriya Resort & SPA, Crimea

The well-known lotus-shaped hotel Mriya Resort & SPA is located in sunny Yalta. And although getting there is now problematic, this is not a reason to postpone the trip. Also on the territory of the resort there is not only a health resort, but also the most modern winery in Russia. But it is better to study here. The medical center offers both modern treatment programs and traditional “sanatorium” programs, as well as mud baths and circulation showers. By the way, for the latter you even need a special medical certificate, so everything is serious.
