The Kempinski Adriatic in Savudrija was the recent host for a 15-year celebration. TCN sent our top spa correspondent Ashley Colburn along, and she has sent us this report on April 1, 2016.
Croatia’s tourism season seems to stretch a few weeks longer year after year and the rise of health tourism could extend this even more. While the sunshine, sea and fresh air have been the key ingredients to the country’s tourism success, these elements are also the basic factors for revitalizing and rejuvenating the body. This year, Energy Clinic celebrates 15 years of relaxing in luxury and providing health awareness to the tourism sector. Energy Clinic can be found in 11 luxury hotels throughout Croatia, two in Montenegro and one in Germany. These exclusive centers work with guests’ mind, body and soul to reach complete relaxation and enjoyment while on their holiday.
I had the opportunity to help celebrate 15 years at the luxurious Kempinski Hotel Adriatic in Savudrija. Throughout my stay, I was able to experience a wide range of services Energy Clinic offers guests and most importantly leave feeling refreshed. The journey begins with a medical consultation to find out where the stress and pain is carried. For the first time I experienced acupuncture which the naturopathic doctor designed specifically for my needs.
Following the acupuncture, you will also receive a massage, hammam experience as well as a sauna and relaxation room! Focusing on “inner balance,” each morning starts off with a yoga session to wake up the body. The program is designed using the knowledge of Chinese medicine with modern science research in psychoneuroimmunology.
Kempinski Hotel Adriatic offers a unique environment for its guests to continue the relaxation beyond the spa. Set right on the sea, the surrounding scenery is peaceful and tranquil, away from any distractions. The hotel restaurant, Dijana serves traditional and organic cuisine from the area to fuel the body. Istria has so much to offer guests if they want to explore the region with opportunities to olive oil taste, bicycle and running trails and of course you can’t forget about Kempinski’s 18 hole golf course.
By the end of my time at the Energy Clinic, I was feeling more refreshed than ever and can see how important it is to set everything straight while on vacation. Vacation is not just about having the time off from work- it is about taking care of you and living a healthier lifestyle- something everyone should do more often!
