Outdoor thermal soaking pools filled with hot mineral water represent a key feature at the Ismena SPA complex. According to manager Polina Boneva, these are the first open-air mineral soaking pools in Devin, operating year-round and drawing significant visitor interest. The complex is designed as a four-season destination, blending modern architecture with traditional Rhodope Revival styles, complemented by various spa facilities and rejuvenating treatments utilizing mineral water sourced from the Bedenski spring.
The facility caters to a diverse clientele, with Bulgarian tourists frequently visiting for the tranquility of the Rhodope Mountains and the mineral waters. International visitors primarily originate from Germany, Israel, Russia, and the United Kingdom, generally drawn to water-based therapies for recovery and relaxation. The mineral water’s alkaline properties are noted for their ability to cleanse skin, stimulate regeneration, and support detoxification.
The spa treatments and immersion in the mineral water are particularly recommended for individuals with sedentary jobs or past injuries, as the heat and composition help relax muscles and improve mobility without straining the heart. Spanning 17 decares, the Ismena complex includes hotel accommodations, guesthouses, and landscaped park areas. The spa center offers a range of amenities, including indoor and outdoor pools, saunas, steam baths, jacuzzis, and aromatic baths.
