Terme Sveti Martin

Terme Sveti Martin, located in the tranquil region of Sveti Martin na Muri in northern Croatia, is a well-regarded destination for wellness and relaxation. Set amidst 27 hectares of unspoiled nature, vineyards, and wildlife, the resort markets itself as a health-focused resort and has a spa tradition that spans over a century. The thermal mineral waters here are considered among the healthiest in Europe, making the resort a popular choice for those seeking restorative treatments and relaxation.

Visitors can enjoy a range of amenities, including a modern 4-star hotel, an apartment complex, an indoor thermal pool complex, a summer aquapark, and a wellness center with a sauna world. The resort also features a biodynamic garden, reflecting its holistic philosophy inspired by Dr. Rudolf Steiner, and offers healthy gastronomic options with organic produce. Outdoor enthusiasts can explore well-maintained hiking trails along the fossil Mura riverbed, while athletes—both professional and recreational—find facilities tailored to their needs.

The area is also known for its hospitality, with staff praised for their welcoming approach, and for local wine tasting experiences, particularly Traminac and local sparkling wine (pjenušac). With family-friendly accommodations, a motor home campsite, and nearby restaurants, Terme Sveti Martin appeals to a wide range of travelers, from couples to groups. The combination of wellness, nature, and local culture makes it a standout destination in Croatia's Međimurje region.

Sveti Martin na Muri lies in Međimurje, the small, green region at the northern tip of Croatia between the Mura and Drava rivers, close to the borders with Slovenia and Hungary. The Mura river and its floodplain forests are part of a cross-border biosphere reserve listed by UNESCO, and cycling routes follow the river through quiet villages.

Međimurje is known for its wine, especially pušipel, the local name for the white Furmint grape, its traditional cuisine, including a layered cake called međimurska gibanica, and its neat, orderly villages. The town of Čakovec, the region's centre, has a castle once owned by the Zrinski family. The resort makes a good base for exploring the area by bike or car. Day passes for the pools and saunas are usually available for visitors not staying overnight, so it can also be visited on a day trip.
