Opatija is a town visited by many people for its relaxing atmosphere and numerous wellness centres that offer authentic anti-stress experiences. If you’d like to take a break from your daily worries, Opatija will help you invigorate your body and soul.
Did you know that Opatija was officially declared a climatic health resort for the aristocracy and prominent people of the time in 1889, and was the first of its kind in the entire Adriatic? Today, we can say that Opatija is one of the most popular wellness and health tourism destinations in Croatia and beyond.
After a cold winter, Opatija in March turns into a paradise for wellness lovers thanks to an annual series of events entitled "Opatija - the Oasis of Health & Wellness". Fantastic massages, facial and body treatments, relaxing baths and sauna sessions, as well as soothing aromatherapy are all here to help you restore your energy.
Nordic walks along the historic paths of Opatija will take place every Saturday on different routes starting at 10 am until the end of May and from September to December, starting from Villa Angiolina. They are conducted in collaboration and under the expert guidance of KŠR Gorovo.
In addition to Nordic walking, "Opatija - Oasis of Health & Wellness" also brings "Thalasso Cardio Walk" in collaboration with the Thalassotherapia Opatija institution, which, under the expert guidance of physiotherapists, will take place on March 16, April 20, and May 18.
On April 13, on the Summer Stage in Opatija, the 12th Croatian Festival of Sports Recreation in Nordic Walking and Hiking will be held to mark World Health Day. The Festival program, in addition to selecting different routes for Nordic walking and hiking, includes joint recreation, education on a healthy lifestyle, and a special gastronomic touch.
In the summer months, Nordic walks will be replaced by the popular summer activity - stand-up paddleboarding, known as SUP. SUP Experience is an experiential paddleboarding course led by a licensed instructor, conducted in collaboration with VOP SUP Team. Courses will be held in Volosko throughout June, July, and August.
