Hotels in Heviz

Heviz Hotels

Nature-loving travellers have been flocking to the woodland plains of eastern Hungary for decades to bathe in the restorative, warming waters of Lake Heviz. Water temperatures of up to 37 degrees are common even in the winter months, making Heviz a premier destination for anyone in need of a reinvigorating break. With the wooded, green hills of the Hungarian landscape juxtaposed against the water-lily topped waters of the lake, Heviz and health resort have been synonymous with one another since the time of the Romans.

Things to see

Sometimes it’s not just what you see that makes the trip, but what you hear, smell and taste. The serene, rejuvenating lake is the obvious attraction and is as much a sensory experience as a relaxing one. Watch as the sun rises over the trees and starts beaming on to the water. Smell the fresh, floral aromas in the air from the surrounding forests. Listen to the gentle trickling of the water before submerging yourself into complete silence and tranquillity. When you have finished your morning soak, amble into the centre of town completely restored and ready to take on the day. Head first to the farmers’ market, where you can savour a delectable array of Hungarian cheeses, cured meats, sausages, freshly baked breads and vegetables. Heviz is also a party town and has a number of festivals on throughout the year. Popping a cork or two at National Wine Festival in August is recommended, as well as swinging along to the Jazz Festival in June.

Hotels in Heviz

As you would expect with a spa retreat, elegance and luxury abounds. Recharge with a work out in a fully equipped gym, before beautifying yourself with a spa treatment or two at one of the luxury hotels in Heviz. Dine on sumptuous Hungarian fare on a hotel rooftop overlooking the expansive green of the Heviz countryside. Even if you are on a tighter budget, there are plenty of Heviz hotel deals where you can find basic bed and washing facilities in great central locations close to the lake, the town centre, and the nature trails. Most are available with complimentary WiFi, on-site restaurants, and tea and coffee making facilities.  

Where to stay

Most of the hotels, both luxury and budget, can be found in and around the lake and town centre. If you want to see more of the nature trails but stay within travelling distance of the lake, then choosing one of the outer-lying hotels will situate you perfectly. Public transport is easily accessible and great value for money. What’s more, many hotels and private vendors offer a bicycle hire service, meaning you can get around easier and escape to the hills, woods, and parklands for an afternoon should you wish.

How to get to Heviz

The best way to get to Heviz is through Balaton Airport. There are also connecting flights from a range of German airlines which set off from Frankfurt. The airport itself is situated around 15 kilometres away from the western end of Lake Balaton close to Keszthely, with many connecting buses to get you into town. Alternatively, there are rail and air services from Budapest which also take you to Keszthely.
