Summer of Well-Being

Summer is a time of greater freedom, movement and enjoying the sunshine, yet it is also when our bodies need extra care, as heat and swimming can cause the skin to lose moisture. After a busy and active period, the body also needs time to relax. That is why wellness treatments are the perfect summer companion: they refresh, restore energy and help us feel comfortable in our own skin – cared for, light and renewed.

The wellness centres of Terme Krka operate under the shared Vitarium brand, a name derived from the Latin word vita, meaning life. It reflects their mission: to create a space dedicated to well-being, where a healthy lifestyle is combined with the gifts of nature.

Vitarium Spa & Beauty, Terme Dolenjske Toplice

Terme Dolenjske Toplice is one of the oldest spa resorts in Europe, with a tradition dating back to the time of the Auersperg counts. Its beneficial thermal water, long-standing heritage and pleasant surroundings create a welcoming setting for guests of all generations – families, couples, active visitors and those seeking a peaceful break.

Stepping into the Vitarium Spa & Beauty wellness centre brings an immediate sense of escape. The treatments are designed with a focus on mindfulness, vitality and natural beauty. Special attention is also given to experiences for couples, beauty treatments and aesthetic services that support well-cared-for skin and a fresh appearance.

Vitarium Spa & Thalasso, Talaso Strunjan

Talaso Strunjan is located right by the sea, next to the salt pans and surrounded by pine trees and Mediterranean vegetation, where the air is rich in marine aerosols and iodine. Nature, the sea and the sun create an environment that encourages deeper breathing, helps calm the body and mind, and brings an immediate sense of freshness from the moment you arrive.

At Vitarium Spa & Thalasso, the sea is more than just a backdrop – it is an essential part of the treatments. Thalassotherapy is based on sea mud (fango), algae, salt, natural oils, Mediterranean essential oils and herbs, drawing on all the beneficial effects of the marine environment.

Summer offer at Vitarium Spa & Thalasso

Fine salt scrubs, fango wraps and massages restore softness and radiance to the skin, while relaxation techniques help ease the tension caused by heat and physical activity. After the treatment, the feeling is similar to stepping out of the sea – light, refreshed and relaxed.

For a primal touch of the sea

Salt-pan massage

The salt-pan massage is a therapeutic treatment using linen pouches filled with salt enriched with essential oils of rosemary, juniper and lavender. The therapist glides the pouches, soaked in olive oil, smoothly over the skin and gently massages the body, promoting relaxation and creating a pleasant feeling of warmth.

The salt crystals remove dead skin cells and deeply cleanse the skin, while the olive oil nourishes and softens it, helping restore its radiance and elasticity. The scents of Mediterranean herbs relax the body while stimulating the senses.

The essential oils are not selected for their pleasant fragrance alone, as each also has its own beneficial properties.

A few words about the essential oils …

Juniper stimulates blood and lymphatic circulation and supports the body’s natural detoxification processes. It is particularly suitable for combination, oily and blemish-prone skin.
Lavender has a calming and relaxing effect and helps reduce tension. It is highly valued in skincare, as it also soothes skin irritation and supports the skin’s natural renewal.
Rosemary revitalises, strengthens and promotes mental clarity. As it stimulates circulation, it is often used in massages for a tired body and in treatments for skin in need of renewed vitality.

From the sea, the salt pans and the surroundings of Strunjan
