The spa town of Luhacovice is located in the southeastern corner of the Czech Republic, just outside the town of Zlin and a couple of hours north of Vienna. Unlike the West Bohemian spas of Karlovy Vary and Marianske Lazne, Luhacovice only started flourishing in the 20th Century, and therefore ranks among the youngest of Czech spas.

The countryside around Luhacovice is known for its pristine environment as well as natural beauty; the town itself has several different mineral springs, each with different properties, which makes it quite versatile in treating a variety of disorders. Increasingly, however, Luhacovice caters to guests who come to seek relaxation and recreation. Its beautiful natural setting in a verdant valley, surrounded by woods, makes it an oasis of peace and quiet.

Architecturally, Luhacovice boasts a unique set of spa buildings, most of which were designed in the first two decades of the 20th Century by a single architect, Dusan Jurkovic. Taking cues from the wooden cottages of his native Slovakia, he created a folkloric version of Art Nouveau here, lively, colorful, and decorative in style. Nearly all of the spa houses have been carefully renovated recently and come equipped with all modern comforts. The just-renovated spa house Jurkovic, the flagship of the spa company, features a wealth of fine handcrafted detail, as well as the latest in spa technology.
