Polonyna Wellness Retreats · Lviv, since 2016
Six-day guided mountain retreats on the Chornohora ridge. Mineral water, steam, walking, rest and seasonal food, with groups capped at fourteen.
No payment is taken on this website.
Three, five or seven nights in the Ukrainian Carpathians. Small groups, set walking routes, and a spa session every day.
Each retreat runs on a fixed date with a fixed itinerary, so you always know what the next day holds. Mornings are for walking, afternoons are yours, and the mineral water spa opens at four.
Spa & Wellness
Every programme includes two scheduled spa sessions, one on the arrival evening and one mid-week. Each runs 60 minutes in the thermal bath house at Burkut, a twelve-minute walk from the lodge along a marked path.
The water is drawn at 41 °C from a mineral spring 380 m below the valley floor and cooled for the two outdoor pools at 34 °C and 38 °C. The steam room is infused with juniper and pine cut on the ridge above the property.
Six therapists staff the bath house. Each holds certification in balneology or clinical massage and has at least five years of practice in the Carpathians. With fourteen guests on site at most, a session is never shared with more than four people.

Three guests of Polonyna Wellness Retreats on what the week actually felt like, written after they got home. Self-reported and unedited apart from length.
I slept for nine hours on the third night, which had not happened in years. The morning walk along the ridge is what did it.
Fourteen people at the table, so by the second evening everyone knew each other's names. The steam room at four in the afternoon was almost always quiet.
I booked for the spa and stayed for the ridge walk above the camp. Nobody rushed us back down the mountain.
