It is believed that a sanatorium is something like a hospital with its mandatory strict regime and poor nutrition, and only those whose health or finances do not allow them to visit good resorts rest there. But modern sanatoriums bear little resemblance to Soviet institutions with foul-smelling canteens and sullen nurses; many of them are more like fashionable spas. Today, resort hospitals located in areas with unique natural resources offer vacationers not only medical services, but also personal care programs and a variety of entertainment suitable not only for retirees. We have compiled a list of the 10 best sanatoriums in Russia, where you can combine business with pleasure: both relax and improve your health.
