Resorts in the Republic of Lithuania are residential areas with natural healing factors (mineral water, healing mud, health-friendly climates, recreational areas and water bodies) and a special infrastructure enabling them to use these factors. Currently, there are 4 resorts in the country: Birštonas, Druskininkai, Neringa and Palanga. The purpose of this article is to carry out an analysis of the anthropogenic landscape of the resorts of the Republic of Lithuania in 2007-2018. During the preparation of the article, the following scientific methods were used: literature analysis, determination and evaluation of the current situation, grouping method, comparison method, analytical and statistical analysis methods, logical analysis, graphical method. The analysis showed that the anthropogenic landscape of the three resorts increased: in Druskininkai – by 362.65 ha or 18.17%, in Neringa – by 113.43 ha or 52.78%, in Palanga – by 190.74 or 15.09%. The anthropogenic landscape of Birštonas has decreased by 41.11 ha or 5.03%. Over the past decades, with the intensification of anthropogenesis and its accompanying urbanization, the importance of the natural environment has become more and more understood, and landscape research, which is associated with the assessment of naturalness and its problems, is becoming more and more relevant.
