When we cross the threshold of Terme Sveti Martin, we are immediately embraced by the warmth and hospitality characteristic of the heart of the picturesque landscape of Međimurje. This magical place, which boasts the title of the first Health resort in Europe, is more than just a destination; is a world where relaxation, health and unlimited fun intertwine, creating the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable family vacation. Surrounded by unspoilt nature and inspired by the philosophy of a healthy lifestyle, Terme Sveti Martin offers a unique experience where every moment becomes a precious memory.
Our experience at Terme Sveti Martin began upon arrival, where we were warmly welcomed by the friendly reception staff. Every part of their staff was extremely helpful and ready to help with information about the resort and surrounding attractions.
Luxury and comfort in the heart of nature
Accommodation options in Terme Sveti Martin offer the right mix of comfort and luxury. Each room, apartment or suite is carefully designed to ensure peace and privacy. Elegantly furnished rooms with balconies offer wonderful views of the surrounding nature, while top-quality bedding ensures complete relaxation and a comfortable sleep.
Our family room was spacious and elegantly furnished, with lots of natural light and a beautiful view of the green areas of the resort. The beds were extremely comfortable, with luxury bed linen, which ensured quality rest. The room had a modern bathroom equipped with all the necessary amenities, including fluffy towels and quality toiletries.
During our stay, we were impressed by the hospitality and professionalism of the hotel staff. Whether we needed extra towels or information about dinner times, they were always ready to help with a smile. We especially appreciated the personal attention they gave us - from recommendations for excursions to advice on wellness treatments.
A unique thermal experience
Entrance to the thermal complex 'The Temple of Life' it's like entering another world. Pools with thermo-mineral water, which are designed according to the anthroposophical principles of Rudolf Steiner, offer not only relaxation, but also healing effects. Children happily dive into the warm waters, while parents find their peace in one of the many hydromassage corners. The air is permeated with the gentle scent of essential oils that help relax the mind and body.
Our family adventure also began in the heart of Terme Sveti Martin - in the thermal mineral pools. The warm, beneficial water was as ordered for relaxation. While the child explored the pool, my husband and I enjoyed a quiet corner where the massage jets had a beneficial effect on our tired muscles. The feeling of the warm water and bubbles was truly therapeutic. Together we discovered a quieter part of the pool complex, where the jacuzzis offered complete relaxation. At the edge of the pool, comfortable deckchairs made it possible to relax and enjoy. As it got dark outside, the pools came to life in a new light. The evening light show, which enveloped the pools in warm, colorful light, created a magical atmosphere.
A paradise for food lovers
The gastronomic offer of the resort is a feast for the eyes and taste buds. The restaurants offer a selection of local and international specialties prepared from fresh, organic ingredients. From traditional Međimurje dishes to modern culinary masterpieces, every meal is a feast for the taste buds. Special emphasis is placed on a healthy and balanced diet, which complements the holistic experience of health and relaxation.
Our culinary experience began with dinner in the resort's main restaurant. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a selection of local cheeses and prosciutto, which was the perfect introduction to the world of Međimurje flavors. The main course was a modern interpretation of traditional Croatian cuisine – juicy roasted lamb with herbs, served with creamy polenta and a side dish of vegetables. For dessert, we enjoyed a light, refreshing lemon cake, which was a real range of flavors.

Not even the chocolate pancakes were missing, which were especially good for the youngest member of the family. Our family was impressed by the quality and variety of the offer, which was one more reason why Terme Sveti Martin is the perfect destination for a family vacation.
A luxurious spa experience: three hours of pure pleasure for mom
While the rest of the family had fun with various activities, mom treated herself to three hours of complete pampering at the Terme Sveti Martin spa center. This oasis of peace and relaxation offers a wide range of wellness services, perfect for restoring balance and energy.
The spa center offers access to different types of saunas, including a Finnish sauna and a steam sauna, which are ideal for cleansing the body and calming the mind. In addition, hydrotherapy was also available, which with a combination of warm water and massage nozzles brings deep relaxation and well-being for the body. To complete the spa experience perfectly, mum took advantage of the quiet meditation and relaxation area where she could reflect in peace and enjoy the silence before returning to the hustle and bustle of the family.
