Property details

A five-star, family-friendly resort on the shores of Hungary’s Lake Balaton, with wonderful wellness facilities and a fun amusement park - includes breakfast, dinner and more
  • Lake Balaton fun in the sun: Presiding over the shores of Central Europe’s largest lake, Mövenpick BalaLand Resort Lake Balaton ticks all the boxes for a relaxing and fun-packed getaway. Inspired by Jules Verne’s famous novel Around the World in 80 days, the resort blends five-star luxury with an adventurous, family-friendly ethos, sporting sleek modern interiors with plenty of travel-themed touches. The best bit? The Balaland Family Park, whose impressive 10,000 square metres of facilities include indoor and outdoor pools, Jacuzzis, a water playground and a beautiful beach area - ideal for both splash-filled fun and well-deserved R&R.

  • Relaxation central: The resort’s sprawling water world is the perfect place to decompress, boasting no fewer than six pools for you to choose from. Bubble away under a fountain or on a hydromassage bench in the vast indoor pool, or venture outside for a gentle lap right on the lakefront. And as the little ones let loose on the water slide, break a sweat at the Life Fitness gym, and round off the day with a soothing massage at the panoramic spa on the top floor.

  • Lakefront flavours: Enjoy international favourites with a local twist at the airy Pirate Restaurant, or opt for bistro-style Mediterranean and Italian classics at the nautical-themed Tico Restaurant. When you aren’t tucking into stone-baked pizzas and hearty pasta dishes, you’ll also find a handy grab n’ go counter for when you’re feeling peckish, plus two inviting bars for all your coffee and cocktail needs.

Location and what's nearby

Szántód, Móricz Zsigmond u. 96, 8622 Hungary

Framed by mountains and rolling vineyards to the north, and bustling resort towns to the south, Central Europe’s largest lake has something for everyone, and is one of the region’s most popular tourist destinations. In summer, the lake’s warm waters are a bathing and water-sports haven, while its lush surrounding countryside, historic towns and renowned wine region make it a year-round favourite for locals and visitors alike.

When you aren’t making a splash at the resort’s water park, get exploring with a trip to the Balaton Uplands, where you can climb the famous basalt steps of the Bujdosók Stairs to enjoy spectacular panoramic views over the serene landscape. Or perhaps you’d rather stroll through the pine trees and soaring cypresses of the Folly Arboretum? If you prefer a more leisurely pace, a winery-hopping tour of the Badacsony region will see you sample some of Hungary’s finest wines grown in unique volcanic soil, while a visit to the medieval town of Tihany will reward you with idyllic cobbled streets, royal echoes and a magnificent Baroque abbey.
