For many travelers, visiting Georgia goes beyond its mountains, coastline, and world-famous wine — it is also a journey into nostalgia. During the Soviet era, Georgia was a prime destination for health and wellness, drawing families from across the USSR to its renowned resorts and sanatoriums. Mineral-rich waters, fresh sea air, mountain forests, and grand sanatoriums with majestic colonnades and sprawling parks left lasting impressions on generations. But what has become of these Soviet resorts in Georgia today? Which destinations have preserved their historic identity while adapting to modern expectations — and which remain frozen in time? Most importantly, which are still worth visiting, and where should travelers stay? This guide draws on the expertise of Premium Georgia, which has worked closely with the country’s resorts for years, organizing both leisure and medical stays — not in theory, but with practical, hands-on experience.
