Lakeside thermal resort
Days balance restorative hydrotherapy and lakeside leisure, shifting from cedar steam baths to open water.
What it’s good at
Notable
A suspended sycamore tree hangs through the multi-level atrium lined in rustic timber.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Forested parkland surrounds Vynnyky Lake, while central Lviv sits just four miles to the west.

The rooms
Accommodations are understated and modern, serving as a quiet rest between the thermal baths and the lake.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
A 25-meter indoor lap pool sits beneath timber gables. Outside, heated pools look across the surrounding forest.
The spa and gym
Tiered timber benches look out across the lake, and the spacious gym has equipment for cardio and strength training.
TERRA Emily Restaurant
Glowing green glass columns rise through the dining room. The kitchen serves modern Ukrainian dishes made with local craft cheeses.
At the table
A dining pavilion sits on stilts over the water, and open-air bars pour drinks across the resort terraces.
How it began
The resort rose on the grounds of communal Vynnyky Lake, finishing construction in 2022 despite the outbreak of war.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
