The hectic pace of life, not entirely healthy food and lifestyle, stress and other "charms" of the modern world encourage you to relax, and sometimes even get better, regardless of the season or the weather outside the window. And if not everyone can afford even a budget vacation abroad, then traveling to interesting places in Ukraine is easy! It is especially good that in our country there are a number of health resorts that are visited even by foreigners. After all, a special microclimate, clean, often saturated with the aroma of trees and herbs, air, picturesque mountains and rivers, healing mineral waters and mud are an invaluable treasure of Ukrainian nature.
Having reviewed the most popular and famous resorts in Ukraine, we have compiled our list of places where you can have a good rest, gain strength and treat chronic diseases in nature. It is also interesting that you can relax at these resorts almost all year round and each time get unforgettable impressions and discover these places from new, unknown angles.
1. Myrhorod, Poltava region
Let's start our review with a well-known and popular resort not only in Ukraine, but also far beyond its borders - Myrhorod. The Myrhorod resort is located in the Poltava region, and although the history of this health resort is less than a century old, unlike Morshyn or Truskavets, this is not reflected in the popularity of this place.
The Myrhorod resort is famous for its peat mud and unique mineral water, which in its properties is not inferior to Aachen, Baden-Baden, or Soden waters.

4. Skhidnytsia, Lviv region
In the middle of a picturesque valley in the forested area of the Carpathian Mountains lies the resort village of Skhidnytsia. This is a unique place, because it is here that 38 sources of natural mineral water are located. Each source has a unique composition, among them there are iron-rich waters or bromine waters, analogues of which are very few on the planet. Another feature of this resort is that services and accommodation are provided mostly by local residents or owners of private estates, but this adds a special charm and attractiveness to such a vacation. And although there are many healing springs here, they are located at a fairly large distance from each other, so we advise you to take this fact into account when choosing accommodation, so that getting to the desired source is convenient and not too long, because no one has canceled the queues for mineral waters. :)
The resort specializes in: diseases of the gastrointestinal tract (chronic colitis, ulcers, gastritis, etc.), liver, biliary tract (especially for patients suffering from gallstone disease, chronic hepatitis and cholecystitis), genitourinary system (in particular: urolithiasis, uric acid diathesis, etc.), endocrine system (problems related to metabolic disorders, diabetes mellitus).
5. Truskavets, Lviv region
Only a deaf person has heard of the Truskavets resort in Ukraine, it is one of the most famous and popular health resorts in the country. And this is not surprising, because it is here that there are 14 deposits of mineral waters unique in their chemical composition, and the famous Naftusya water originates precisely here. The waters that Truskavets is rich in, in terms of their properties, are not inferior to Karlovy Vary, Baden-Baden or other resorts.

6. Khmilnyk, Vinnytsia region
In Vinnytsia region, near the picturesque Southern Bug River and among picturesque natural views, there is a resort called Khmilnyk, which is famous for its special radon water and healing peat mud.

7. Cherche, Ivano-Frankivsk region

8. Shayan, Transcarpathian region

This place is interesting for its mineral waters, which contain metasilicic acid. According to experts, such a chemical composition of the Shayan resort waters allows it to be equated with the famous Armenian resort of Dilijan, and the presence of hydrocarbons in the composition of the waters makes its healing properties similar to the famous "Vichy-Celeston", "Essentuki" and "Borjomi".
Shayan is a great place to solve problems with diseases of the stomach and pancreas, gallbladder and biliary tract, metabolism, genitourinary system, and intoxications.
9. Polyana, Svalyavskyi district, Transcarpathian region

10. Solochyn, Transcarpathian region
Solochyn is a wonderful place where you can combine medical procedures with skiing (in winter, of course), because it is located between two mountains. Solochyn has 15 mineral water springs, most of which are located at the beginning of the settlement, and at the picturesque foot of Mount Tesanyk there is a spring with healing hydrogen sulfide water.

11. Berehove, Transcarpathian region
The Beregovo resort is famous for its thermal springs, where wells with natural hot water rich in iron are constantly operating. Two lakes located on the resort's territory also have thermal springs of high mineralization. Similar reservoirs can be found in Iceland, Hungary and in the Far East, in Kamchatka and Sakhalin. You can enjoy swimming in thermal mineral waters on the territory of the Zakarpattia training and sports base, where there is a swimming pool with such water. This pool is filled with natural silicon-nitrogen-carbon dioxide-chloride-sodium waters of high mineralization from a geyser 1080 meters deep. This chemical composition of the water helps to destroy most pathogenic microbes. Another feature of this pool is that the water is not filtered when filled, which is why it has a dirty brown color and seems cloudy, which allows you to preserve all the healing properties of the water from this geyser. However, when taking water treatments in the pool, remember that staying in it for more than 2 hours a day is not recommended by doctors, as this can lead to loss of consciousness. Short-term stays in these thermal waters have a positive effect on well-being.
