Now that summer has arrived in Prague, it’s the perfect time to slow down and enjoy a well-deserved break. With its peaceful atmosphere, fresh forest air, and spa tradition, Mariánské Lázně in the Karlovy Vary Region is one of the Czech Republic’s top destinations for rest, rejuvenation, and recovery.

Mariánské Lázně is known for its elegant historical charm and rich cultural heritage. The town’s Municipal Museum, the oldest surviving house, once hosted Johann Wolfgang Goethe during his stay in Marienbad. Nearby, the Singing Fountain plays every two hours from 7:00 to 19:00, offering a relaxing spectacle in the heart of the spa colonnade. A short walk away, the Boheminium Park displays miniature models of Czech castles and landmarks, surrounded by forest trails.

The region is also a popular destination for golf lovers. The Royal Golf Club Mariánské Lázně, founded in 1905 by King Edward VII, is the oldest in the country. Its traditional Scottish-style course is set in pristine nature, offering both scenic views and a sporting challenge.

But what truly makes Mariánské Lázně stand out is its spa tradition, which dates back more than two centuries. One of the most respected establishments in the town is the Falkensteiner Spa Resort Marienbad, housed in a historic main building that combines classic architecture with a fully modern interior.

The resort offers a range of classic medical and wellness stays, ideal for those seeking rest, recovery, or ongoing health maintenance. Visitors can enjoy traditional treatments based on local natural resources—such as mineral-rich springs and peat baths—while staying in a peaceful, refined setting.

For those ready to take their health journey a step further, Falkensteiner now also offers comprehensive longevity programs. These are designed to support long-term vitality, energy, and overall quality of life. Through a combination of cutting-edge diagnostics, lifestyle coaching, and targeted therapies, guests can explore what the resort calls the path to “Better Aging.”

Guests begin with a personal consultation, available online or on-site, to help tailor the right program. A key feature is the uVida® metabolic analysis, available in two options: one at rest (Food & Stress), and one that also includes a short activity component. Additional tests evaluate lung capacity, blood health, sleep quality, cardiac function, and body composition.

The resort’s medical team uses these diagnostics to create a custom health strategy, focused on nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress management—the four pillars of long-term wellness. Follow-up consultations help guests integrate the recommendations into everyday life.

In addition, programs like “Detox and Balance” and “Release & Recharge Your Batteries” combine spa treatments with mindfulness and fitness elements, offering a full-body reset for body and mind.

Whether you’re looking to recover, recharge, or invest in your long-term health, Falkensteiner Spa Resort Marienbad is the perfect place to begin. Just a short train ride from Prague, this peaceful oasis offers a mix of timeless elegance and modern comfort, surrounded by the natural beauty of the Slavkov Forest and the historic charm of Mariánské Lázně.
