About the Hotel
Ensana Sovata is a purpose-built medical spa hotel on Strada Trandafirilor, facing the legendary Lacul Ursu — Bear Lake — a heliothermal salt lake unique in Europe for its naturally stratified layers of warm and cool brine, prized for centuries in the treatment of gynaecological and rheumatic conditions. Five indoor pools fed by the lake's brine and a full-service spa form the core of a medically supervised programme, supplemented by a sauna, steam room and fitness centre. The Ensana brand brings international health spa standards to Sovata, a Transylvanian resort town in Mureș County surrounded by the Gurghiu Mountains.
Guests can access the lake directly from the hotel grounds, while the adjacent Salt Mountain and the Bears' Cave offer short excursions in the landscape of forests, salt ridges and meadows. Longer day trips lead to Sighișoara, one of Europe's best-preserved medieval citadels, and to the dramatic gorges of the Apuseni Mountains further west.
