Spa Profile: Beer Spa Žitná and Beer Spa Rybná

The first spas appeared as far back as ancient Egypt and China, where hot springs were used for treating diseases, improving immunity, and for personal hygiene. The first beer spa was recorded approximately 2,000 years ago. Bathing in beer, as well as drinking it, have been used in folk medicine since ancient times.

For those seeking a modern-day beer spa experience in Prague, Beer Spa Rybná and Beer Spa Žitná offer the opportunity to sip on some of the Czech Republic’s best beer while indulging in treatments that incorporate natural extracts used to brew Czech Krušovice® beer.

In addition to enjoying unlimited consumption of light and dark varieties of the beer, guests are also served homemade beer bread. The beer spa contains many ingredients that have been used in medicine since ancient times.

Treatments include a hop biosauna; whirlpool royal oak tubs filled with selected varieties of hops, brewer’s yeast and malt to help open pores and improve skin regeneration; as well as a relaxing straw bed next to a warm fireplace that promotes absorption of all the vitamins and extracts from the bath.

We interviewed the Spa Director of the beer spas, who shared insider tips, favorite and unique treatments, and more.

Beer Spa Žitná offers unlimited consumption of light and dark Krušovice® beer.

Why You’ll Love It: Our guests absolutely love the cozy and relaxing atmosphere of our private rooms. We worked hard on every detail to make sure that our guests felt welcome and comfortable from the moment they stepped in.

Key Features: Each of our rooms is equipped with custom-made artisan bath tubs made from royal oak, as well as wooden beds filled with fresh wheat straw. One of our rooms also features a unique biosauna with hops extracts. The feel of it is very rustic and definitely unforgettable.

At Beer Spa Rybná, guests can relax in a wheat straw bed next to a fireplace and bathe in handmade whirlpool royal oak tubs filled with the natural extracts used to brew Czech Krušovice® beer.

Insider’s Tip: It's good to come to your treatment in advance a little bit so that you can make yourself comfortable in the reception area and start tasting the beer!

Snacks Served: As mentioned above, we offer an unlimited supply of light and dark beer by Krušovice®, but we also serve non-alcoholic beer and still water. In addition to this, we bake our homemade beer bread with pork spread that our guests can snack on.

Bonus: One of the main attractions of our Beer Spa is the unlimited consumption of light and dark Czech beer Krušovice®, but what often comes as a surprise is that the experience starts from the moment our guests enter! Our guests can make themselves comfortable in the reception area and start tasting the beer while they wait for their treatment to start.

At Beer Spa Žitná, amenities include a hop biosauna, relaxing wheat straw bed, and traditional oak buckets for soaking in natural extracts.

Insider’s Favorite: Personally, it’s the combination of hydromassage in the warm whirlpool beer bath, followed by resting on the straw bed. The straw is more comfortable than our guests expect, and together this combination creates an amazing relaxation!

Unique Treatment: That would be booking our largest room, Czech Beerland, where you can experience every part of the treatment from a warm whirlpool bath with natural beer ingredients to a biosauna with hops extracts, after which our guests can cool themselves with refreshing cold water from handmade oak buckets!

Splurge Treatment: If you feel like pampering yourself, we definitely recommend booking at least two hours. Trust our countless customers who say that one hour of this unique experience is never enough!

Featured Products: Our souvenir shop predominantly features natural handmade beer cosmetics. These special Czech products are for the body, hair and for treatment during or after the bath—and are made with the addition of actual beer!
