Maslina Resort announces the opening of the new Pharomatiq Spa

July 13, 2021

Maslina Resort, a Relais & Chateaux property, is pleased to present the brand new Pharomatiq Spa. Inspired by the healing environment of Hvar, the extraordinary Pharomatiq Spa spans 650 square meters and features five treatment rooms, including one for couples, and a specialized sound therapy room. Drawing on Hvar's natural environment and flora, Pharomatiq Spa embraces the "garden to skin" wellness concept, with each treatment utilizing locally grown herbs that support the body's regeneration.

A unique and sustainable concept from garden to skin

Hailed as Europe's sunniest island, charming Hvar is a haven for health and well-being. Since 1868, the island has been recognized as Europe's premier destination for therapeutic treatments. Surrounded by heavenly, fragrant lavender fields and rugged olive groves, the Pharomatiq spa celebrates the island's unique regenerative properties. This menu features homegrown herbs and locally sourced essential oils, crafted by skincare specialists L'aventure en Primitivance, enhanced by Dalmatian botanicals. L'aventure en Primitivance's luxurious Belle de Jour Serum Visage harnesses the power of the ancient Immortelle flower. This native plant has miraculous anti-inflammatory properties that help skin regain strength and firmness. Combined with local olive leaf extract, pomegranate seed oil, and jasmine extract, the result is a super serum that restores a youthful glow. In keeping with the Maslina Resort's philosophy of luxury, all products are 100% natural and cruelty-free. Qualified therapists tailor these luxurious oils to specific patient needs, ensuring that every guest can experience the best of Hvar's natural remedies.

Unique amenities

The spacious 650 m² spa features five modern, uniquely designed treatment rooms. From sound therapy to massages and fitness rooms, every detail of the spa has been carefully crafted with relaxation in mind. The wet area features a state-of-the-art Finnish sauna, a steam room with essential oils, and LED showers. This tranquil atmosphere extends from the interior to the exterior, where the relaxation garden is the perfect place to bask in the glorious Croatian sunshine.

Immersive programs and wellness experiences

Available from 2021, the Pharomatiq Spa will offer The Cure of the Adriatic Sea—a complete four- or nine-day body care program. In this personalized program, your body will be treated to daily therapies, herbal remedies, and mindful movements to enhance your overall well-being.

Pharomatiq Spa has gone beyond traditional Thai or hot stone massages to offer a new, tranquil Integrative Massage – a specially developed combination of massage techniques that improve range of motion and increase blood circulation.

Guests can also take advantage of a range of complimentary daily and private fitness sessions to soothe their minds, including Pilates, Ashtanga yoga, guided meditation and metabolic conditioning.

For those seeking Croatian culture, Maslina Resort offers bike tours through the island's historic towns and rugged countryside. Let the gentle breeze wash away your worries as you admire spectacular sites. There's certainly plenty to see, as Hvar boasts the largest number of UNESCO-protected sites in the world!

Nourishing the mind and body

The elegant restaurant at Maslina Resort embraces a wellness ethos, focusing on delicious, healthy Mediterranean cuisine. The talented chef is happy to prepare personalized menus upon request, catering to any dietary needs, including delicious vegetarian and gluten-free options.
