Shovi, Balneological resort in Oni Municipality, Georgia
Shovi is a spa town in Oni Municipality at 1,520 meters elevation in the Chanchakhi river valley, surrounded by deciduous forests and Caucasus peaks. The resort features sixteen mineral springs with waters used to treat respiratory, gastrointestinal, and urinary conditions.
The first sanatorium opened in 1928, marking the beginning of organized spa operations at this mountain location. Development of the resort followed growing interest in the therapeutic potential of the area's mineral springs.
The region maintains traditional Rachan cooking practices, with Khvanchkara wine production and local dishes available in family-run establishments throughout the area.
The resort operates from June to October when weather conditions are most favorable for visits. Visitors should plan for mountain conditions with sturdy footwear and layered clothing due to elevation and frequent weather changes.
The mineral waters contain distinctive sodium and calcium combinations that support therapeutic treatments at this high-altitude location. This chemical composition results from the unique geological conditions of the Racha region.
