The Best Spa And Wellness Destinations In Imereti For Your Georgia Vacations

Hiking and skiing are not the only things to do in Georgia. While the impressive natural resources within the Caucasus Range are undoubtedly one of the country’s main appeal, deep down, it has many more.

And by deep down, I mean really deep down.

There are thousands of thermal and mineral water springs underneath Georgian soil that, when flowing to the surface, turn into some of the most popular hotspots for Georgia tourism. It has been proven that almost all of these mineral water springs provide impressive health benefits for those soaking in them. As such, it’s no surprise many of the all-time favorite Georgian attractions are spa and wellness resorts.

Georgia has an overabundance of these paradisiacal locations. However, if your interest is to travel to Georgia’s top wellbeing destinations, the Imereti region may be an excellent place to start.

Located in the central part of Western Georgia, Imereti is as rich in natural beauty as it is in history. The lush green of its mountains and the crystal waters of its rivers make it a natural hotspot for Georgia’s travel industry and one of the best wellness destinations within the country.

Imereti has many resorts dedicated to spa and wellness, transforming it into one of the most visited regions for Georgia tourism. We at Tour Guide decided to walk you through some of these resorts to share our top picks for the best hotels and spas you can enjoy during your visit to Georgia.

Tskaltubo

During Soviet rule, Tskaltubo was, perhaps, the main Georgia attraction for visitors, including Stalin himself.

Located in Imereti, Tskaltubo has the perfect geographical positioning for an idyllic resort town—the Black Sea’s proximity provides warm and humid winds. In contrast, the Greater Caucasus keeps the cold ones at bay. As a result, Tskaltubo has mild winters, warm summers, and plenty of sunshine, making it a natural center for Georgia’s tourism.

However, the best natural feature of this paradisiacal land is, undoubtedly, its mineral springs. Unique in their chemical composition, they are rich in carbon and radon, which is a complex mixture that proves effective against a plethora of illnesses and afflictions. Likewise, the water boast of temperatures between 33°-35°C, providing an all-natural hot spring that is perfect for relaxation and mental wellbeing.

The peculiar mixture of minerals and temperature makes the Tskaltubo hot springs perfect for dermatologic diseases, gynecological afflictions, metabolic disturbances, and disorders of the locomotive, cardiovascular, or endocrine systems.

But not everything about Tskaltubo is water-based. The nearby Tetri Mgvime is a cave boasting of a microclimate, particularly effective against respiratory illnesses, hypertension, anxiety, and neurosis.

Once the most visited Georgian attraction for relaxation, Tskaltubo is slowly recovering its former glory. Nowadays, plenty of hotels, policlinics, and spas make the best of the town’s natural blessings and provide top-quality service for tourists traveling to Georgia.

Out of them all, these are our picks.

Sairme

Sairme is a resort located within the Baghdati municipality in the Imereti region, and to date, is one of the most prominent locations for Georgia tourism. The mineral and thermal springs flowing within the area have been used for therapeutic purposes across the decades and were of particular relevance within the Russian Empire in the 19th century.

Nowadays, Sairme is the biggest resort in all of Europe and the Caucasus, extending for over 60 hectares. The stunning beauty of the landscape is thanks to its strategic location at the valley of the Tsablaristskali River, 950 meters above sea level. It’s not a surprise, then, that this resort is highly sought after by tourists traveling to Georgia.

The protagonists of Sairme are, undoubtedly, the springs that cross the area. In particular, four of them have been revered for their health benefits for centuries, with multiple contemporary studies reaffirming what our ancestors already knew. Soaking in the water is beneficial, but so is drinking it. Likewise, they provide both prophylactic and therapeutic benefits, turning it into a quintessential Georgian attraction for those seeking wellbeing destinations.

Spring N1 is known for curing chronic kidney diseases, as it is beneficial against urethral calculi and other renal disorders. N2, in turn, provides natural help for liver and gallbladder issues, including chronic cholecystitis, chronic hepatitis, gallstones, and bile-duct stones. Spring N3 aids in the fight against metabolic disorders such as diabetes and osteochondrosis. Finally, Spring N4 has strong gastrointestinal properties with benefits in the battle against ulcerative diseases, acidity, and other digestive problems.

Around the springs, Sairme hosts three hotels—Hotel Imereti, Hotel Udabno, and Hotel Sairme. However, out of the three available options, we cannot help but recommend Hotel Sairme as the most affordable and viable option for your visit to Georgia.

Hotel Sairme

A redevelopment project in the area concluded in 2018, ending with the construction of Hotel Sairme, an affordable hotel with 150 rooms built to host nearly 400 guests. Next to the installations, there is a policlinic equipped with the latest technology and expert medical personnel, ready to provide treatments matched to the therapeutic properties of the springs in the resort.

Beyond the medical centers, Hotel Sairme also has playgrounds for children, and multiple sports installations to provide physical wellbeing and activity. Similarly, the beautiful view of the impressive Imereti landscape provides mental respite. It remains one of the most breathtaking aspects of Georgia tourism.

What it can do for your health: In addition to the health properties of the aforementioned springs, the policlinic by Hotel Sairme is equipped with advanced technological equipment and, with the help of the natural resources available in the area, provides treatment for obesity, central nerve system problems, skin diseases, bones and joints, and other complications.

Price (hotel): Costs vary according to the type of room and the season, but they tend to range from $44 to $169 per night. They only include the stay in the resort, and not the treatments at the adjacent policlinic.

Price (policlinic): The policlinic provides regular deals and packages for tourists traveling to Georgia, so it’s best to get in touch to find the best offers available. However, two packages remain the most popular ones against osteochondrosis and urethral calculi, lasting 10 days and $220. A third package, against obesity, extends over 10 days and costs $330.

Address: Sairme Resort, Baghdati Region, Georgia, 1000.
