Terme Ždrelo

Terme Ždrelo (Banja Ždrelo) is a modern geothermal spa, aquapark and hotel resort in the village of Ždrelo in eastern Serbia, set in the valley of the Mlava River at the foot of the Homolje Mountains, below the dominant peaks of Vukan and Ježevac, at the 11th kilometre of the Petrovac na Mlavi–Žagubica road. It operates all year round, in summer and winter alike.

Geothermal water & source

The resort's thermo-mineral water is drawn from a depth of 180 metres, where the source temperature exceeds 80°C. As it rises through cold earth layers it settles to a consistent bathing temperature of around 40°C, maintained year-round.

• Oligomineral water with low dissolved solids (under 1 g/litre); total mineralisation about 0.5756 g/litre.
• Dominant minerals: calcium, magnesium and sodium, with bicarbonate as the principal anion; sulphur- and mineral-rich.
• Recognised therapeutic value for rheumatism, trauma recovery, skin conditions and gastritis relief.

Spa & aquapark pools and attractions

• 9 pools in total: 4 indoor (2 for adults and 2 baby pools) and 5 outdoor pools.
• One saltwater pool.
• 5 water slides – 3 indoor and 2 outdoor – with use included in admission.
• Bathing water kept at roughly 30–40°C so the pools and slides run through both summer and winter.
• Sunbeds/loungers, changing facilities and healing mud available in summer.
