The construction of the new wellness centre, which started this January, is a response to the trends in tourism and the requests of guests. According to Petra B. Zabukovec, responsible for Public Relations at Grand Hotel Bernardin, the management of the hotel expects that the new wellness centre will attract more guests, even out of the main convention and summer season.

The wellness centre in the 9th and 10th floor is simply paradise. With its luxury and beautiful design, unique interior and superlative standards, it will captivate even the most demanding guests.

On the 2,000 square meters of Paradise Spa, you may choose between various programmes that combine Oriental tradition and Western science.

The wet saunas encompass the Mediterranean, Turkish and Thai sauna, tepidarium and laconium, which is particularly aimed at relaxation. Special mention should be made of rasul - an oriental mud and steam treatment - as well as the hamam peeling room and the special soap massages. Thalassotheraphy provides you with all the beneficent effects of seawater; in addition, you may enjoy a Finnish sauna and chromotherapy, which through colours and light restores the balance of body and spirit.

This is the only place you will find the four-hand Paradise massage, which will take you straight to paradise, together with the unique candle massage, which has a beneficial effect on general health and well-being. Further to this there are Swedish, Bali, Siam, reflex zone, anti-stress, Hawaiian and sport massages; together with - among many others - a special massage for pregnant women, and a hot stone massage.

Paradise Spa also provides a vast range of traditional Thai treatments employing herbs, essential oils and therapeutic massages. You will be able to surrender and indulge yourself to a variety of time-honoured Thai techniques and practices; indeed, you will be treated like royalty.

In Paradise, you will be offered relaxing baths and steam baths, sensual peelings and body wraps, manicures, pedicures and hair removal. Technologically advanced solariums provide a beautiful tan and a fresh look. If you are eager to improve your well-being and vitality, you are also welcome to visit the state-of-the-art fitness centre.

Couples who want to spend their precious time and moments of relaxation together, may indulge in care programmes which provide pampering and ultimate comfort. Such programmes are performed in a luxurious room where you will be served with premium sparkling wines or refreshing fruit juices.

To live the perfect spa experience, take to the pool and, at the sight of the sea at sunset feel the touch of the heavenly Mediterranean.
