The town lies in the south-eastern part of Podkarpackie voivodship, Krosno province. The town is surrounded on all sides by high mixed forest. It lies at 400 metres above sea level. This unusual location among hills of Beskid Niski, in the valley of Iwonicki Potok (Iwonicz Stream), undeniably rates Iwonicz highly among those places, which charm guests with their beauty and still immaculately clean air.

The Iwonicz climate is described as foothills climate with properties of sub-alpine climate, what is important and advantageous in health resort treatment. The Iwonicz forests form a kind of lagging of the resort, regulate humidity and temperature of the air, protect from winds and are a source of ozone. The resort is situated in the area of the greatest insolation and lowest cloudiness in Poland, what makes it a perfect spot for soothing, refreshing and regenerating the body.

The greatest wealth of Iwonicz land are mineral waters and moor mud, which are natural curing agents. These are chloride-bicarbonate-sodium, fluoride, iodide, boric and bromide waters.

They are used for drinking therapy, mineral baths, inhalations and production of iodide-bromine salt.
