Thermal mineral water and mud as the basis of spa treatment
Banja Vrujci is known for its thermal mineral water, springs and peloid — healing mud traditionally used in spa treatments. The water is used for bathing and relaxation, and in specific programmes it may also be used for drinking with professional guidance.

The water is described as mineral / oligomineral

What makes the water special
Natural thermal water in the heart of the spa
Vrujci water is mild, pleasant for bathing and suitable for relaxation. Its composition is associated with minerals such as potassium, magnesium, selenium, calcium, sodium and bicarbonates.
Thermal mineral water
The water naturally springs in the spa area and is used in pools, bathing and relaxation programmes.

Natural setting
Water, greenery, air and the slower rhythm of the place create the spa experience together.
Using the water
Bathing, relaxation and hydrotherapy effects
Bathing in thermal mineral water is most commonly associated with muscle relaxation, easier movement, a lighter feeling in the joints and an overall sense of rest.
Spa programmes are not only about water, but about the combination of temperature, movement in water, rest, correct treatment duration and each guest’s individual health condition.
Relaxation of muscles and joints
Comfortable time in pools during the season
Support for recovery after effort or minor injuries
Wellness effect through water, rest and nature
Indications most often mentioned
When water and mud are traditionally used
Thermal water and peloid are traditionally associated with rheumatic complaints, musculoskeletal conditions, rehabilitation after injuries, sciatica, circulation issues and certain skin conditions. For therapeutic use, medical advice is recommended.
Rheumatic complaints
Thermal water and peloid are traditionally linked to easing stiffness, pain and reduced mobility in chronic rheumatic conditions.
Musculoskeletal system
For back, joint and muscle pain, as well as post-traumatic states, spa treatments are often used as part of wider rehabilitation.
Sciatica and neuralgia
The warmth of water and mud may contribute to muscle relaxation and a more comfortable feeling in back and nerve-related complaints.
Circulation and veins
For circulation and vein-related issues, thermal water and treatments should be adjusted with medical advice, especially in vascular disease.
Skin
Peloid is often mentioned in relation to some skin concerns because of its mineral content and local application.
Recovery and rest
The spa is not only about treatments. Peace, walking, sleep and time in nature are often an equally important part of recovery.
Healing mud — peloid
The mud for which Banja Vrujci is especially known
Peloid is formed through natural processes in the spa area. Thermal waters bring fine mineral material, which is deposited around springs and along the Toplica river. Because of this origin, the mud is traditionally used in local treatments.
The most common uses are local compresses, mud packs or applications, with controlled duration and temperature.

Planning your stay
The best effect comes from combining water, rest and the right rhythm
Guests who come primarily to rest should avoid overcrowding the day. Enough sleep, gentle walks, bathing, breaks between activities and a comfortable apartment often matter more than overdoing treatments.
Guests visiting because of specific health concerns should check in advance which therapies are suitable for their condition and plan the stay according to professional advice.
Suggested spa day rhythm
A simple spa day
This is not a medical protocol, but a practical suggestion for guests who want a calm and pleasant stay in Vrujci.
Morning
A light walk, breakfast and preparation for bathing or a shorter treatment.
Before noon
Pool, thermal water or an agreed treatment, without rushing or overdoing it.
Afternoon
Rest in the apartment, a light meal and a break from the sun during the hottest part of the day.
Evening
A calm walk, a drink, time together and preparation for good sleep.
Important for safety
When to be especially careful
Thermal water and mud can be pleasant, but they are not suitable for every person or every condition. In case of acute inflammation, infection, fever, serious heart conditions, uncontrolled blood pressure, malignant diseases, pregnancy or serious chronic illness, medical consultation is necessary.
Do not overdo it: time in water and treatments should be moderate.
Drink water carefully: internal use should follow professional advice.
Peloid is not just a cosmetic mask: mud treatment should be properly dosed and rinsed.
Children and elderly guests: water temperature and bathing duration should be adjusted.
Accommodation and recovery
Why a good apartment matters during a spa holiday
When visiting a spa for recovery, the accommodation should be calm, clean and practical. The apartment should be a place to rest between bathing, walks and treatments.
Vile Ivanović offer practical and comfortable accommodation for that rhythm of stay, with apartments suitable for resting between bathing, walking and spa activities.
