INDRA WELLNESS Retreats and Spa
A garden retreat with its own play areas
About this hotel
INDRA WELLNESS Retreats and Spa sits roughly eighteen kilometres from Băneasa Airport in Samurcăşi, closer to Acvamania and the Palatul Ştirbey than to the Otopeni hotel cluster. Family rooms come with garden views, air-conditioning, a work desk and free WiFi, while the property's leisure facilities lean harder into family time than most nearby aparthotels: a garden and terrace for relaxing, an outdoor dining area, and both indoor and outdoor play areas alongside a dedicated games room. Free on-site private parking rounds out the stay. It's built for a slower, self-contained visit rather than a quick pre-flight stop, which shows in the extra distance from the immediate airport strip and in the amount of on-site family space compared with a standard Otopeni aparthotel unit.

Our take
INDRA suits a family treating Therme București as one stop within a longer, more self-contained trip rather than the sole reason for travelling — the indoor and outdoor play areas and games room genuinely occupy children beyond the water park itself. The eighteen-kilometre distance from Băneasa Airport is the clear trade-off, so it's a weaker fit for a short, airport-adjacent visit than the Otopeni cluster.
- ✓Budget extra driving time to Therme București compared with an Otopeni-based stay, given the eighteen-kilometre distance from Băneasa Airport.
- ✓Use the indoor play area on a rainy or rest day rather than driving back to the water park every day.
- ✓Book ahead if travelling in a larger family group, since the garden and games room suit multi-day stays that fill quickly in season.

Why guests love itThis felt less like an airport-cluster aparthotel and more like an actual retreat — the games room and outdoor play area kept the kids busy on the one day we didn't drive back to Therme București. The distance from Băneasa Airport is real, close to eighteen kilometres, so it only made sense because we were staying several nights rather than passing through on a short trip.
