History and natural wealth
The story of the Diakovce thermal swimming pool
Thermal swimming pool Diakovce - a natural treasure from the depths of the Earth
Beneath the surface of Diakovice hides a real gem - geothermal water, which reaches temperatures of up to 39 °C. Thanks to its beneficial effects on the musculoskeletal system, the nervous system and rheumatic diseases, it is one of the most precious natural resources in the region.
Geothermal borehole DI - 1 was drilled in 1954 - 1957 for the purpose of seismic exploration and obtaining information and knowledge between the submerged ridges of Inovec and Tribeč. The well was drilled to a depth of 3 303 m. The history of the swimming pool itself began to be written in the 1970s. It was then that the Diakovce Thermal Baths became one of the most sought-after recreational places in Slovakia - popular not only with domestic visitors, but also with guests from abroad.
Currently, water is used from two boreholes, DI-1 and DI-2, which is at a depth of 1551 m and the water reaches a surface temperature of 67°C. The geothermal water is medium mineralised, alkaline-bicarbonate type. Water composition: Ca, Mg, Na, K, CI, S, HCO.
A journey full of challenges
From division to a new beginning
In 2002, the original swimming pool was divided into two separate operations - the Diakovce thermal swimming pool and the Horné Saliby swimming pool. Although the municipality of Diakovce faced limited possibilities for further investment at that time, the swimming pool remained in operation thanks to several private operators. However, years later it became clear that the site was in need of major renovation - resulting in a new impetus for its development from 2021.
We're here for you from 2021
Saving the swimming pool with a clear vision
In order to save the once popular thermal swimming pool, in May 2021 we agreed with the municipality of Diakovce and the company BEKOR s.r.o. took over the area into their hands. Before the beginning of the zero summer season, we have beautified and improved the area. In spite of the short time until the opening, we have done everything we can to prepare a pleasant, relaxing environment for visitors.
Modernisation of the swimming pool step by step
New swimming pools, attractions and modernisation of the complex
Right after the end of the summer season in 2021, we embarked on an extensive reconstruction of the area. As part of the first phase, we renovated the existing pools, built two new pools, added water slides, water attractions and modern water recirculation technology. We renovated the sanitary facilities, the caravan area, the hotel and the holiday cottages and built a completely new infrastructure, including our own wastewater treatment plant.
The summer season 2022 has already welcomed visitors in a new look. In 2023, we expanded the swimming pool with a wellness area with a Finnish and herbal-salt sauna, an ice chamber and whirlpools. The season was followed by another phase of upgrades - new luxury suites, new gastro outlets, an expanded children's pool and a giant water slide with attractions for young and old.
In the next stages we are preparing the construction of a modern wellness hotel with year-round operation, saunas, a swimming pool, a restaurant and a congress hall.
