Skincare in Croatia

by Organic Spa Magazine

Two treatments with ingredients that are unique to the area.

Hotel Excelsior

Wild Chestnut Body Mask

Perched on a cliff's edge just outside Dubrovnik's UNESCO-protected Old Town, Hotel Excelsior, founded in 1913, is a treasure. With sweeping views of the Adriatic Sea and the Old Town's breathtaking medieval fortress, the landmark hotel has hosted famous guests from Queen Elizabeth II to Elizabeth Taylor.

The 2,800-square-foot Energy Clinic at Hotel Excelsior offers all-natural Croatian-made treatments from Esensa Mediterana, only available in Croatia. The new Lavanda 75-minute Detox includes a lavender and rosemary body mask with lavender harvested from the Dalmatian island of Hvar. Guests then receive a massage with foot reflexology, followed by a body mask made from wild chestnuts, which help strengthen the walls of the blood vessels.

The property boasts two Jacuzzi whirlpools, three saunas (Finnish, Roman and a steam bath), and an outdoor saltwater pool where guests can enjoy panoramic views of the sea. At the end of this year, the property will undergo a renovation from November 1st, 2016 until May 1st, 2017.

Radisson Blu Hotel

​Volcanic Thermal Stone Ritual

Situated in Split, on Croatia's picturesque Dalmatian Coast, the modern, 250-room Radisson Blue Hotel in Split (with jaw-dropping views of the Adriatic Sea) offers guests beachfront access, three restaurants and the largest spa in town with 12 treatment rooms, two traditional Finnish saunas, a hydrotherapy pool, an 82-foot long pool with jet stream, and a Japanese Onsen pool.
