Hidden in the heart of Azerbaijan lies Naftalan oil – often called the country’s “Black Gold.” For centuries, this unique natural resource has been praised not for fueling engines, but for healing bodies. Today, Naftalan remains a world-famous wellness destination, attracting visitors who seek relief, relaxation, and rejuvenation.
The story of Naftalan goes back more than 600 years. Historical records mention caravans on the Silk Road stopping in this region to use the dark oil for its soothing and regenerative effects.
In the 19th century, German engineers recognized the potential of Naftalan and began studying its healing properties.
By the Soviet era, Naftalan had become a premier medical resort, welcoming thousands of patients each year.
Today, modern spa hotels and sanatoriums in Naftalan continue this tradition, blending ancient wisdom with advanced medical care.
