The place where the tradition of year-round climate therapy in the Tatras began
Nový Smokovec was founded in 1875 by Dr. Mikuláš Szontagh as a settlement with a therapeutic mission. The climatic sanatorium admitted its first patients as early as 1876. Nový Smokovec subsequently became the first Tatra health resort where patients stayed even during the winter months. In doing so, it laid the foundation for year-round spa and winter seasons in the High Tatras.
Today, the Nový Smokovec Climatic Spa continues this tradition, offering spa treatments, therapeutic procedures, accommodations, and wellness services. The settlement is architecturally connected to Starý Smokovec and, in addition to its spa environment, offers proximity to Jakubkova Meadow, hiking trails, sports facilities, and other attractions in the central part of the Tatras.
