Amara by the Lake: Spa Treatments, Beaches and Culture

Lake Amara is the most important tourist attraction and the most important natural therapeutic factor of the Amara spa resort.

In Amara, Ialomiţa County, it is designated as a 162-hectare special avifaunal protected area. For travel planning purposes, the resort’s significance and the protected-area status can be considered separately, without conflating the different aspects of the destination.

Spa Treatments and Water

Tourists can use Amara’s four beaches: Perla, UGSR, Splendid and Mirceşti.

The spa town of Amara has facilities for mud packs and cold mud rubs, followed by baths in Lake Amara.

If you want to organize your days clearly, you can treat water, spa treatments and nature as separate areas of focus. This allows the various offerings to be incorporated independently into your personal itinerary.

Culture

Construction of BISERICA SFÂNTUL NICOLAE ŞI SFÂNTUL IOAN BOTEZĂTORUL - AMARA I began in 1893; the church was consecrated on 6 August 1898.

“Trofeul Tineretii” is a national competition in Amara for performing Romanian popular music.

The Festivalul de Agrement şi Turism Balnear Amara is held annually and includes shows and dance competitions.
