Hisarya – Tranquil, Historic, Restorative

Go Back

Hisarya, a serene spa town nestled at the foot of the Sredna Gora mountains, is one of Bulgaria’s most elegant destinations for wellness retreats, restorative corporate events, and heritage-inspired celebrations. Known since Roman times for its thermal springs and healing climate, Hisarya effortlessly combines ancient charm with contemporary comfort — a natural choice for those seeking rejuvenation and depth.

At the heart of Hisarya’s event offering is the Hissar Spa Hotel, a full-service venue with conference halls, a wellness complex, and lush outdoor gardens ideal for yoga sessions, meditative workshops, and leadership retreats. For smaller, exclusive groups, the boutique Hotel Sana Spa provides tranquil meeting rooms and spa access in an intimate, personalised environment.

The town’s legacy as a Roman resort is still clearly visible. Guests can walk through ancient city gates, past intact fortress walls and public bath ruins — offering a scenic and contemplative setting for historical tours, photo walks, and heritage-themed receptions. Outdoor spaces within the Roman walls are sometimes adapted for cultural performances or exclusive dinners, where ancient stonework meets candlelight and ambient music.

Hisarya is also well-suited for mindfulness and wellness-focused programming. With over 20 mineral springs — each with distinct properties — the town is renowned for spa therapies, hydrotherapy, and nature-based relaxation. Many events here incorporate guided walks, forest bathing, or treatments at the town’s wellness centres as part of holistic corporate incentives or retreat-style itineraries.

The nearby Thracian countryside, dotted with vineyards and lavender fields, offers scenic backdrops for photography retreats, outdoor weddings, and culinary events featuring locally sourced ingredients and regional wines.

Easily accessed via road from Plovdiv or Sofia, Hisarya provides an atmosphere of stillness and inspiration. For planners seeking a location where guests can recharge, reflect, and reconnect — surrounded by timeless landscapes and mineral-rich waters — Hisarya is a restorative gem on Bulgaria’s event map.
