This prestigious recognition reinforces Pharomatiq Wellness as one of Europe’s premier wellness sanctuaries, underscoring its unique blend of sustainable luxury, mindful living, and the natural healing qualities of Hvar Island.

Hvar is home to over 600 wild medicinal, aromatic, and honey plant species, with 120 of these plants featuring in traditional folk medicine, oils, and culinary traditions. This abundant botanical diversity forms the heart of Pharomatiq Wellness’ carefully designed treatments and rituals.

The spa’s interior design embraces calming colours, spacious layouts, and a peaceful ambiance, with thoughtful touches such as wide staircases to avoid any discomfort when passing other guests.

The Global Spa Awards by The Luxury Spa Edit honor excellence, innovation, and leadership within the wellness sector. Pharomatiq Wellness’ nomination among the world’s elite spas places it at the forefront of Croatia’s wellness movement. It also enhances the reputation of Hvar Island as a premier health destination, rooted in heritage, authenticity, and the restorative powers of nature.

“Pharomatiq Wellness’ nomination recognises our mission – to reinforce the ancient healing wisdom of Hvar with cutting-edge science that aligns with the expectations of the modern traveller,” said Andrea Lach,  Pharomatiq Wellness Supervisor. “We are proud to represent Croatia on the global stage and to share our island’s timeless message: that true wellness begins with harmony between people and nature.”

Hvar Island has long been recognised as a destination for rejuvenation, with its wellness legacy stretching back to 1868, when the Hvar Health Society established the island’s tourism model centred around health, healing, and the restorative properties of nature. Its pure air, mild climate, and rich flora were heralded for their therapeutic benefits. Over 150 years later, the island’s wellness identity thrives through Pharomatiq Wellness, where guests are invited to reconnect with Hvar’s natural rhythms. Here, mindful movement, the healing sea air, and grounding practices embrace the island’s elements for holistic well-being.

Pharomatiq Wellness offers an all-encompassing wellness experience, merging holistic therapies, fitness, and nutrition to help guests achieve lasting balance.

Wellness Rituals and Treatments: Combining Mediterranean and Eastern therapeutic traditions, the spa provides massages, facials, body scrubs, energy balancing treatments, and personalised detox programmes, all tailored to the individual needs of guests.

Movement and Mindfulness: Visitors can access a fully equipped fitness suite, outdoor yoga terraces, and guided meditation sessions with expert practitioners. Daily activities, including yoga and sound healing, honour the symbiosis between movement and nature.

Thermal and Hydro Experiences: The spa features a steam room and Finnish sauna, alongside hydrotherapy rituals that draw from the Adriatic’s healing properties to relax muscles and stimulate circulation.

Immersive Retreats: Curated wellness retreats offer guests the opportunity to immerse themselves in Hvar’s regenerative energy through multi-day programmes that combine fitness, nutrition, mindfulness, and exploration of the island.

Hvar’s therapeutic potential is embedded in its geography, climate, and heritage. With more than 2,700 hours of sunshine annually, the island enjoys one of the mildest climates in the Mediterranean. Famous for its expansive lavender fields, Hvar’s air quality is among the cleanest in Europe, enhanced by sea aerosols and the aromas of local plant life. These natural attributes create a powerful environment for rest, renewal, and longevity, and Pharomatiq Wellness taps into this energy in every aspect of its offerings, blending the island’s outer beauty with inner reflection and restoration.

Maslina Resort’s guiding philosophy of Mindful Luxury is built upon principles of authenticity, sustainability, and slow living.
