Tucked in Croatia’s rolling Zagorje hills, just a stone’s throw from the Slovenian border, Terme Tuhelj has reopened its doors after a sweeping €27 million renovation—its most ambitious to date.
Backed by EU recovery funds, the transformation cements this once-modest retreat as a shining example of cross-border investment and eco-conscious design.
Originally acquired in 2003 by Slovenia’s state-owned Terme Olimia, the complex now boasts a solar plant, biomass heating, and a brand-new family hotel—fully booked for Easter.
With 20,000 square metres of aquatic bliss and room for 3,500 guests, the resort blends modern wellness with digital innovation and landscape renewal.
Terme Olimia’s director, Florjan Vasle, revealed plans for a further €15–20m investment to replace the oldest hotel, eyeing additional EU funding.
As tourism rebounds, the group reported a 5.4% revenue rise in 2024, surpassing €50m, with over 500,000 overnight stays across its Croatian and Slovenian resorts.
