Russia is one of the few destinations in the world where you can combine luxurious relaxation, unique natural healing factors, and modern medical technologies. Cool climate, clean mountain air, and mineral springs that cannot be found in any other country create ideal conditions for the whole family’s wellbeing. For guests from the Gulf countries, this is an opportunity to receive comprehensive healthcare in comfortable conditions with respect for religious traditions.

Caucasian Mineral Waters: Natural Treasury of Health

The Caucasian Mineral Waters (CMW) region is a unique balneological and climatic resort with more than 130 sources of mineral waters of various compositions and healing mud from Lake Tambukan. Treatment here is conducted on a scientific basis: each of the four resort cities—Kislovodsk, Pyatigorsk, Essentuki, and Zheleznovodsk—specializes in specific areas depending on the composition of springs and microclimate.

CMW sanatoriums offer comprehensive programs for treating the digestive system, musculoskeletal system, endocrine disorders, and nervous system. The radon waters of the Pyatigorsk deposit and mud treatment procedures are of special value. Modern sanatoriums are equipped with MBST-therapy, carboxytherapy, ozone therapy, and hardware cosmetology.

For discerning guests who prefer premium-level service while maintaining access to natural healing factors, accommodation in modern wellness resorts of the region can be considered, such as Cosmos Collection Altay Resort—a resort with separate cottages, high level of privacy, and wellness programs based on natural factors.
