A new 25m euro (£22.1m, US$33.4m) spa and wellness concept has opened at the Novi Spa Hotels & Resort property in Novi Vinodolski, Croatia.

The spa has wall-to-ceiling windows throughout, offering views over the Adriatic Sea to the Island of Krk and includes 22 treatment rooms and six spa suites.

Designed by the architect Ante Niksa Bilic from Studio Ante Murales in Zagreb, Croatia, the concept of the spa focuses on traditional Oriental philosophies combined with a more traditionally Western, holistic approach.

Facilities include a total of 14 saunas including an outdoor Finnish sauna, a laconium, three steambaths, a salt peeling bath and a Kniepp area.

There is also a whirlpool with heated seawater and indoor and outdoor thalasso swimming pools featuring waterfalls and a counter-current system.

Treatments include a range of signature massages as well as thalassotherapy and hydrotherapy rituals. Product houses used include German de Capuccini, Charme de O'rient and the own-brand Novi Spa cosmetic brand. Details: novi.hr
