The Times included the Baltic Travel Company\u2019s Druskininkai Long Weekend Spa Break as a package named among a selection of great-value European autumn getaways<\/a>, and this is an excellent choice if you\u2019re considering a Lithuanian wellness holiday!<\/p>\n Lithuania\u2019s long-standing spa traditions are a somewhat undiscovered secret for UK travellers, but this heritage makes the most of the country’s gorgeous natural scenery, with spa resorts tucked alongside pine forests, lakes, and the winding banks of the Nemunas River.<\/p>\n Druskininkai is a key part of Lithuania\u2019s spa and wellness identity, with its name derived from druska, Lithuanian for salt, which refers to its salty mineral springs.<\/p>\n The city is full of charm, and between sumptuous spa treatments and mud baths, visitors might stroll through the open-air forest museum at Grutas Park, hire bikes to cycle around the city\u2019s architecture and sculptures, or ride the Druskininkai cable car to see panoramic views over the town and river.<\/p>\n Celebrating its local wellness heritage, Druskininkai is also home to the Karol Dineika Meni Wellness Park, a pine forest resort founded in 1930 with hiking trails, bathing waters, a sauna and terraces for yoga and meditation that visitors might wish to visit during their stay.<\/p>\n Druskininkai is Lithuania\u2019s oldest and largest health travel destination, and the use of the natural resources makes the treatments and wellness lifestyle here unique. Treatments often use salt, honey, pine, clay, and essential oils such as eucalyptus, bergamot, and patchouli, with traditional practices dating back to the 19th century, when people began flocking to Druskininkai for its healing springs.<\/p>\n Although heritage wellness remedies remain a focal point, modern spas and hotels also provide access to advanced facilities, combining timeless practices like Chinese foot massage with cutting-edge infrared saunas.<\/p>\n Druskininkai has attracted attention from one of Britain’s leading publications, with The Times including the Baltic Travel Company’s Druskininkai Spa Break Long Weekend among ten recommended budget-friendly autumn trips.<\/p>\n This recognition is particularly timely for those searching for autumn escapes that offer something different from conventional European city breaks and beach holidays, and also shows that good-value travel can be an exceptional experience.<\/p>\n The Druskininkai Spa Break Long Weekend<\/a> is a four-day, three-night package designed around relaxation and wellness. Within the package, guests can expect:<\/p>\n Treatments are discussed at the consultation to ensure they suit each guest, with recommendations from the spa\u2019s knowledgeable wellness professionals, while all other organisation is taken care of well before your departure date.<\/p>\n The four-day itinerary gives guests time to enjoy the facilities and relax between treatments, while leaving ample free time to tour Druskininkai and see some of its historic landmarks.<\/p>\n On arrival at either Kaunas or Vilnius Airport, your private transfer will take you to Druskininkai and the four-star Hotel Spa Vilnius Druskininkai. Depending on your arrival time, you may wish to use the pool, gym, and sauna complex, or enjoy a delicious dinner at the hotel for a relaxed end to the first day.<\/p>\n After a buffet breakfast, you\u2019ll have a wellness consultation before enjoying the hand-picked treatments included within the packages. You’ll enjoy four treatments per day, including massages, mineral baths, and therapeutic movement therapies. Between treatments, you can enjoy the pool and sauna, take a walk around Druskininkai or simply relax by the lakeside.<\/p>\n After breakfast, there may be time to make the most of the hotel’s outstanding wellness facilities before your private transfer back to the airport for your return flight.<\/p>\n Autumn is an excellent time for a Druskininkai spa break, offering the warmth and comfort of world-class spa facilities amid cooler temperatures, with the changing seasons that make Lithuania’s forests and parks come alive with colour.<\/p>\n Spending time outdoors without the heat and crowds of the summer, walking the trails or relaxing by the lake, is an ideal way to take a weekend for self-care and relaxation, while visiting later in the season, into the winter, is an amazing way to combine spa relaxation with snowy scenery.<\/p>\n Our package is available year-round, and while many travellers love an autumn getaway, we can also organise departures for any other preferred dates.<\/p>\n Being featured in The Times has put Druskininkai firmly on the radar for travellers searching for an authentic, relaxing European escape, but its appeal has existed long before recent press coverage as a destination with 150 years of spa heritage.<\/p>\n The Baltic Travel Company team is always on hand to confirm departure date availability for this autumn, to discuss your travel arrangements and answer any questions you may have about this and other spa and wellness packages, or alternative destinations in Lithuania<\/a>.<\/p>\n If Druskininkai sounds like the perfect destination for your short break, you\u2019ll find full details about inclusions and reviews on our package page, or you can enquire online for a personalised quotation.<\/p>\n The package includes four days and three nights at the four-star Hotel Spa Vilnius Druskininkai, but you are welcome to get in touch if you\u2019d like to extend your stay or customise your spa break in Lithuania.<\/p>\n Yes, we offer direct flights from London to Kaunas or Vilnius year-round and can organise flights from alternative airports on request. This includes up to 20 kg of checked luggage per traveller and private airport transfers to and from Druskininkai.<\/p>\n Alongside use of the mineral water pool, sauna complex and gym, guests can reserve four treatments a day. These may include massages, foot therapies, guided movement therapies and mineral water treatments. However, visitors may be able to book additional or alternative treatments if any specific spa treatment isn\u2019t suitable.<\/p>\n![\"Discover](\"https:\/\/www.baltictravelcompany.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Discover-Spa-and-Wellness-Breaks-in-Druskininkai.jpg\" "\\"Discover")
