Vatra Dornei, nestled in the wooded Bukovina hills of northern Romania, is one of the most elegantly situated spa towns in the Eastern Carpathians, whose landmark Casino of the Baths — a historic monument built in 1898 by Austrian architect Peter Paul Brang when the territory was part of Austria-Hungary — stands gracefully on the banks of the Dorna River. The town's bicarbonate and ferruginous naturally sparkling mineral waters belong to a long spa tradition that attracted Central European aristocracy during the Belle Époque. The forested Carpathian setting, with its fir forests and alpine meadows, lends this mountain resort a deeply serene atmosphere that continues to attract visitors in search of relaxation and natural beauty.

Insider tip — Vatra Dornei is Bukovina's spa capital, a Habsburg-era resort town nestled at the confluence of three rivers in the forested Carpathians at 800 metres. The carbonated mineral springs and mofette gas baths offer a uniquely invigorating wellness experience that Austrian physicians were recommending as far back as 1800. The painted monasteries of Moldavia are within 60 km, making Dornei an ideal base for combining culture with relaxation. Autumn is superb when the surrounding beech forests turn amber and the resort feels genuinely timeless.
