Thermal water
Thermal water is the primary source of energy used for heating the complex and is the heart of AquaCity. The water is gentle on the skin and beneficial to health. Water is one of the most important natural resources in the world. In AquaCity, water is also the base for fun and relaxation. Water pumped from underground geothermal natural lakes is fed into AquaCity with an initial temperature of around 49 °C. In large high-tech water exchangers it releases its heat, which is transferred to the hotel and resort buildings. Water in the pools, showers and water supply is under constant strict supervision and impurities are removed using the same natural filtering systems based on UV, which are used for drinking water.
The use of chemicals is kept to a bare minimum in pools, bathrooms and showers meaning that the water remains soft on your skin and eyes, and is also environmentally friendly. To minimise the amount of chemicals needed, new pools are constructed using stainless steel, not concrete, thereby reducing the need for chlorination by up to 90%.
Geothermal springs
The Geothermal springs in AquaCity are some 1,300m beneath the earth’s surface. They are more than 15,000 years old and producing the cleanest thermal water, containing more than 20 minerals by the time it reaches the surface. The water temperature of 49°C brings this water into the ranks of hot water (above 42 °C).
Effects of thermal water
Use of heat is possible with external balneotherapy and indications of thermal water use are based on the physiological effects of heat:
- positive impact on the skin and blood circulation to the skin
- positive impact on the cardiovascular system
- positive impact on metabolism
- positive impact on regulatory mechanisms
- positive impact of thermal stimuli to the nervous
- muscular system
Based on the mineralogical composition being rich in calcium, magnesium, sodium and carbon dioxide, the natural thermal water in AquaCity has been championed by many as water with healing properties.

Fun and attractions
Chromotherapy
Light and colours can heal. And we know it. Mainly if they are combined with thermal water. Our Blue Sapphire pools use colour effects to maximise the influence of colours and heat on the mental and physical balance. Chromotherapy harmonises the spirit and the body by using lights and colours. It is based on exposing water to sunlight, which makes water absorb vibrations of specific colours. The ancient form of healing is based on the idea that each being consists of five basic elements: earth, water, air, fire, and ether (space). Their relationship is closely related to the personality and nature and differs from person to person. Any disturbance of this equilibrium, whether due to an unhealthy lifestyle or external influences, can cause a disease. Ayurveda uses the energy contained in the colours of the spectrum to balance these elements.
Sauna shows
Sauna relaxation doesn’t have to be about sweating and looking at the ceiling only. Enjoy something more in the Fire & Water Wellness & Spa. Sauna masters offer special sauna ceremonies, rituals and peeling sessions. By using a special air swirling technology and pouring aroma essences on stones, they increase the apparent temperature and make the sauna experience more intense. Themed sauna shows are combined with nice aromas, music, light effects and a story. Indulge in 15 minutes of absolute relaxation pleasure in our ceremonial sauna during sauna rituals and don’t miss sauna peeling sessions in our salt steam sauna either.
Music therapy
Do you suffer from insomnia or depression? Try music therapy. Music has been known to heal from of old. Music therapy is a psychotherapy method that uses music to release psychological tension. Intense music experiences have often a cleansing effect, which results in the desired therapy effect. Music therapy is ideal to be combined with other methods when treating serious diagnoses such as Alzheimer’s disease or drug addiction.
Laser show
Watch Michael Jackson dance, follow the story of the 007 agent or the Pirates of the Caribbean inside a pool. Emotional music combined with 3D pictures on the water surface result in a mysterious performance that you can watch from a pool. The multimedia laser show in the Blue Sapphire pools offers unforgettable moments. The stories are screened on a 9-metre-high water wall and a surround sound system creates the perfect emotional atmosphere.
