Perched on the stunning Adriatic coastline, the Grand Park Hotel Rovinj is not just another luxury hotel; it’s Croatia’s most ambitious hospitality project to date. With 193 lavish rooms, 16 sea-view suites, and a world-class spa, this place is a game-changer.

Absinthe, Cannabis & Grappa – A Spa Experience Like No Other

Albaro Wellness & Spa isn’t your typical wellness retreat. Spanning over 3,800 square meters, this spa takes inspiration from Istria’s seafaring history and blends it with a potent twist of local spirits. Conceptualized by the brilliant minds at Illyria Wellness, the spa menu is infused with the essence of grappa, absinthe, and cannabis, promising a wellness experience that’s as unique as it is indulgent.

Liquor-Laced Treatments

Here’s where it gets interesting—each signature treatment kicks off with a shot of local rakija, setting the tone for what’s to come:

• Pelinkovac Rakija Ritual: This enchanting therapy draws from the mystique of Istrian Absinthe, or Pelinkovac, with a sugar scrub and aromatherapy massage that taps into the allegedly psychoactive properties of Artemisia absinthium.
• Olive Press Ceremony: Dive deep into relaxation with this ritual that uses the world’s best Extra Virgin Olive Oil. It’s a full-on sensory journey that starts with a soothing massage and ends with a skin-smoothing scrub made from local olive groves.
• Batana Bodywork: Inspired by Rovinj’s iconic wooden boat, the batana, this treatment takes it up a notch with a cannabis-infused massage. The deep tissue work is performed using a real batana oar and a cannabis balm that melts away tension.

The Ultimate Adriatic Escape

If you’re looking for a place that mixes luxury, history, and a dash of the unexpected, the Grand Park Hotel Rovinj is it. Whether you’re here for the incredible views, the opulent rooms, or the one-of-a-kind spa treatments, this hotel promises an experience that’s anything but ordinary. So, raise a glass of grappa—or maybe just let the spa do it for you—and get ready to indulge in the best that Istria has to offer.
