Galaalti mineral water resort
A health resort in the hills where mineral water is drunk at the source, combined with spa and recovery programmes.
Travel times are approximate and depend on the route and season.
Galaalti is a health resort in the Shabran district, about 122 km north of Baku, set among forested hills. It developed around mineral springs discovered in 1968. The water has a distinctive taste and smell and is drunk directly at the source.
Programmes at Galaalti usually combine drinking the mineral water with physiotherapy, spa treatments and rest in a quiet natural setting. The resort physicians decide on the indications and the course after an examination. We arrange the transfer from Baku and can combine a stay at Galaalti with diagnostics in the capital.
What makes it special
The mineral water is drunk fresh at the spring, which is why the course takes place at the resort itself.
Forest, clean air and a quiet setting make Galaalti suitable for rest and recovery after treatment in Baku.
The resort physicians assess every guest and prescribe the drinking regime and procedures individually.
The resort can be reached by car in a few hours, so it is easy to combine with appointments in the capital.
