Aqua Viva SPA in Velingrad Plans Modernization and Expansion of Health Services

Aqua Viva SPA in Velingrad is planning to update its facilities and expand its health programs using new technologies, announced Plamen Tsankov, the manager, to BTA.

According to him, the complex is developing its concept to offer more personalized services, introduce modern equipment, and combine traditional with modern therapeutic methods, while also aiming to improve guest comfort.

It is expected that development will continue towards individual health programs, high-tech procedures, and a complete renovation of the SPA base, with the goal of more effective treatment and a better experience.

New therapies are already being introduced, including salt rooms and modern equipment, with the focus on technological development and personalized care for clients.

Tsankov emphasized that the development plans aim to expand and modernize the services in response to the growing interest in health tourism. The main priority remains the renovation of the SPA base and the implementation of new technologies to improve the quality of procedures and comfort.

It is also planned to expand health programs with more anti-stress, detox, and rehabilitation therapies, tailored to individual needs.

The complex works to attract more international tourists through specialized treatment packages and longer stays, as well as to improve staff qualifications and introduce modern service standards.

According to Tsankov, for a quality SPA vacation focused on health, suitable destinations are those with developed infrastructure and mineral springs, like Velingrad. He recommended choosing certified SPA centers with qualified staff that offer both relaxing and healing procedures, including specialized programs such as anti-stress, detox, or recovery.

"To achieve real results, a stay of at least a few days is recommended, combined with a healthy regime and rest. The balance between relaxation and health is key to a full-fledged SPA vacation," the manager adds.

BTA presents in the section "BG SPA. Salus per aquam – health through water" news about certified Bulgarian SPA and wellness centers, whose total number exceeds 200. The initiative is in partnership with the Ministry of Tourism and the Bulgarian Union of Balneology and SPA Tourism, in connection with the upcoming major European health tourism event – HEALTHXCHANGE SUMMIT from May 11 to 13, 2026, in Varna, with participation from the resorts of St. Constantine and Helena, Golden Sands, and Albena.
