Karos Promenade

In Zalakaros, everything revolves around water:
Almost six decades ago, everything started with the medicinal water, which attracted people as a magnet to the small village of Zala. Just like in the past, water provides space for gatherings, families, and for those who want to heal and those seeking experiences. It has created a living space, it has created a city, a community, a meeting place for generations where WE ARE CONNECTED IN A THOUSAND WAYS!

Green city center on an area of 6 hectares

A multifunctional indoor departure building and event centre, as well as the associated outdoor event space, a new green city centre and a promenade have been realized, which, in addition to providing infrastructure, enriches the spa town’s spa and resort atmosphere with both spectacular elements and a range of services.

A modern Spa was born

The development took place on an area of 6 hectares, located in the most valuable central area of Zalakaros. It extends from the already existing Arboretum through the area of the former sports field to the Dísz square, which is connected to the Thermal Lake and Ökopart (Eco-Coast) tourist complex, forming a unit with it, thus creating the new city centre of Zalakaros. The development has created a guest-centric tourist attraction that displays the overall picture of a modern spa.
