A stroll through Františkovy Lázně is like a journey back in time to the Habsburg era. The charming architecture of the imperial yellow neo-Renaissance spa house lines the picturesque streets and extensive parks, and every building here tells a story of a glorious past. Members of the European aristocracy, opera singers, and Hollywood stars have spent time here, seeking rest and rejuvenation.
It was not by chance. The town boasts unique natural resources that form the basis of its healing power. The local bog, a treasure hidden beneath earth’s surface, is rich in minerals and healthy substances. Considered a true elixir of youth, the bog baths offer regeneration for the body and the mind. Doctors in Františkovy Lázně often recommend such treatments, especially to women who want to get in touch with their bodies or are planning to extend their family. Many visitors appreciate the beneficial effects of the local treatments on their overall health.
In addition, visitors can refresh themselves while strolling along the promenades by the mineral springs, the most famous of which, the Francis’ Spring, is the symbol of the town. At the heart of this oasis is the four-star Spa Resort Pawlik-Aquaforum, which is not just a place to spend the night, but a destination in itself. It was created by connecting spacious villas and now offers guests a fusion of traditional spa and modern medicine. In addition to traditional baths, it is possible to try treatments such as molecular hydrogen inhalation, which has several positive effects. One of the completely unique experiences is music therapy with a harmonizing effect on specific areas of the body and the soul.
Lovers of fine dining will also enjoy their stay in Františkovy Lázně. In this respect, too, the spa’s history is combined with current culinary trends. The restaurants here offer guests the opportunity to taste dishes that combine local ingredients with international influences. Traditional waffles are an essential part of the Czech spa experience, with flavours ranging from classic hazelnut to decadent eggnog, best enjoyed over afternoon tea in one of the cosy cafés overlooking the park.
Wine lovers will appreciate the wide range of Czech and international wines on offer in local wine shops, often accompanied by expert tastings. For healthy lifestyle enthusiasts, there are bistros with fresh local and organic products that perfectly complement the spa treatments. However, the town also has a rich cultural life. Regular classical music concerts, theatre performances, and exhibitions in the local galleries will satisfy even the most demanding guests. A stroll along the colonnade to the sound of classical music is an experience not to be missed.
The charm of Františkovy Lázně lies not only in its healing springs and atmosphere. There is also an interesting investment opportunity for those who discover the uniqueness of the Czech spa industry and wish to participate in its further development. David Soukup, CEO of Františkovy Lázně Aquaforum, a.s., which operates seven spa resorts and hotels, is opening the door to the world of spa investments through a specialized fund.
What makes it so unique? The Lázeňský fond SICAV focuses on strategic investments in spa complexes, hotels, and other facilities designed for spa stays and treatment. Its portfolio also includes investments in medical facilities and modern equipment, ranging from cutting-edge medical devices to innovative balneology establishments. Companies operating in the spa and healthcare sector are also an integral part of the investment strategy.
The potential of the Lázeňský fond SICAV is based on the extensive know-how of its three founders, Miroslav Liška, who is its director, Jan Douch, and David Soukup. All three are experts in the field of spa services and the operation of health care facilities. According to them, it is their in-depth understanding of the segment, carefully selected properties in Františkovy Lázně, and functional operating companies that form a solid foundation for the long-term success of the fund.
