Insider tip — Terme Istarske draws from the Istrian peninsula's shallow coastal aquifers, where seawater intrusion gives the thermal waters a characteristic sodium-chloride composition. The Croatian spa sits amid the rolling olive groves and vineyards of the Istrian interior, close to medieval hilltop towns like Motovun and Groznjan. The Adriatic is visible on clear days from the surrounding hills, blending maritime and thermal wellness. Visit in May or September when truffle season in the nearby Mirna valley allows you to combine thermal bathing with Istria's celebrated culinary culture.
