Choosing from hundreds of hotel wellness & spa centers worldwide, the award arrived in Split at the end of September thanks to a unique concept that, apart from the interior, is the basis of all treatments on offer that are performed with natural, organic products.

The sea, stone, and fresh air are recognizable symbols of Dalmatia, transformed by the Jelena Radalj's JE'R architectural studio into the unique ambiance of the Spalato Spa, and top experts and therapists integrate the healing properties of rosemary, pine, and lavender to achieve an authentic experience of relaxation. Spalato Spa really is a unique, enchanting place that especially connects the ease of relaxation inherent in Split with the most modern wellness & spa industry achievements.

There is also a cold fountain, Bucket showers, enough space to relax on comfortable loungers, and a quiet room.

All this, of course, with an open view of the sea so that during true relaxation, your view can wander freely on the horizon. For complete privacy and a personalized wellness experience for one person or a couple, there is an exclusive, private spa with a separate entrance while a large terrace and outdoor pool are a favorite among guests who choose to visit in the warmer months.

"We believe that everything a person really needs can be found in nature, and we apply it in massage treatments, body rituals, Chinese therapy, and facial treatments with top brand products.

October 15, 2021 - Valamar and PBZ Croatia Osiguranje will continue with significant investments in repositioning the tourist portfolio of Stari Grad on the island of Hvar with the first sustainable eco-resort in Croatia valued at 220 million kuna.

The construction of Valamar's first sustainable eco-resort is only part of the investment that Valamar and PBZ Croatia Osiguranje are planning to manage mandatory pension funds for 2022, reports HRTurizam. 

Namely, the Helios Faros Supervisory Board decided that Valamar and PBZ Croatia Osiguranje will continue with significant investments in repositioning the tourist portfolio in Stari Grad on the island of Hvar to 4* and 5* in the amount of HRK 220 million.

In addition to the already mentioned sustainable eco-resort, it is planned to complete the investment at the Hvar [PLACESHOTEL] by Valamar, the construction of the Aquamar pool complex, and the overall arrangement of the tourist zone.

The eco-resort is Valamar's new concept of a fully sustainable eco-resort positioned for family vacations. The construction of the resort will be achieved by respecting the highest standards of green building, which includes environmentally friendly materials with minimal impact on the environment, the use of renewable energy sources, and a high level of energy efficiency.

Valamar's eco-resort on Hvar is the first tourist project that will use prefabricated buildings and modular construction designed according to Valamar accommodation quality standards.

The concept is inspired by nature and sustainable design, so the resort’s architecture blends into the island’s natural environment in the design of the buildings while the interior design is signed by local designers and artists using local tradition and materials. Felled trees will be used in landscaping, and each felled tree will be replaced with newly planted ones. Great emphasis will also be placed on offering local food and groceries produced on the island, while digitalization will eliminate the use of paper throughout the hotel.

The project is planned to be built in two phases during 2022 and 2023, and to realize all green initiatives in full potential and all aspects of sustainable development of the resort, the project will apply for green EU funds.

Valamar and PBZ Croatia Osiguranje d.d. jointly acquired Helios Faros, a tourist company in Stari Grad on the island of Hvar, through bankruptcy proceedings. During the Covid-marked 2020, business at Helios was restarted, and in 2021 the first renovated hotel Hvar [PLACESHOTEL] by Valamar was opened.

Helios Faros' business development plan assumes investments in the total amount of around HRK 800 million in sustainable high value-added tourism that will have a positive impact on the economic growth of the island. By 2025, the reconstruction and construction of three hotels and resorts of categories 4* and 5* with a total capacity of 700 accommodation units is planned.

October 15, 2021 - Former Croatia striker Mario Mandžukić has taken the first steps in his new career outside the pitch and enrolled in the HNS coaching academy. 

Mario Mandžukić announced the end of his great career in September in an emotional Instagram post addressed to his younger self. 

"Dear little Mario,

While you put on these boots for the first time, you can't even imagine what you will get to experience in football. You'll score goals at the biggest stages and you'll win the biggest trophies with the biggest clubs. Proudly representing your nation, you will help write the history of Croatian sports.

You'll succeed because you'll have good people around you – teammates, coaches, fans, and family, agents and friends who will always be there for you. You'll be forever grateful to all of them!

Above all, you'll succeed because you'll always give your best. At the end, that's what you'll be most proud of. You'll sacrifice a lot, but you'll know it was worth it because of all the amazing moments.

You'll recognize the moment to retire, to put these boots in a cabinet and you'll have no regrets. Football will always be a part of your life, but you'll look forward to a new chapter.

Enjoy!
Your big Mario

P.S. If you happen to play vs England in the World Cup, just be ready around 109th minute"

But it was clear that he wouldn't rest for long.

The legendary Croatian striker has enrolled in the HNS coaching academy and is attending a competition for the UEFA B license, which is the beginning of the road to the UEFA PRO license required to run clubs in, say, the Croatian First League, reports Index.hr.

Mandžukić will have 160 hours of classes, after which he will have to pass the exams with, on average, very good results. If he decides to enroll in a course for a UEFA A license, which is expected, he will have to do a year of coaching practice, which he could do in the professional coaching staff of the national team if there is the will on both sides.

The road to obtaining a PRO license is very long and for Croatian footballers much longer than for former professionals in some other countries, such as Germany. If he continues with his exams, Mandžukić could get a PRO license in six to seven years, and then theoretically he could become a "real" coach. Lectures for the B, A, and PRO categories will cost around 20,000 kuna.

Mandžukić is just one in a series of former Croatia national team players and professionals who have decided to take up a coaching job in recent years. Vedran Ćorluka, Ivica Olić, Ognjen Vukojević, Jerko Leko, Mihael Mikić, Mario Carević, and many others attend the HNS academy, which is known as very good.

ZAGREB, 15 Oct 2021 - Radovan Dobronić, a Commercial Court judge, was appointed by the Croatian Parliament on Friday as new Supreme Court President.

The legislature voted 120 to 3 to approve his appointment, ending the months-long imbroglio about the selection, nomination and confirmation of the new chief justice.

Parliament Speaker Gordan Jandroković said that Dobronić would be sworn in on Monday.

The Supreme Court President also serves as the head of the State Election Commission (DIP).

Dobronić, who was nominated by President Zoran Milanović, was given a positive assessment by the parliamentary Judiciary Committee. Judge Marin Mrčela, too, was assessed positively, however, Dobronić received the Committee's unanimous support while seven committee members voted in favour of Mrčela, one voted against, and three abstained.

Dobronić graduated from the Law School of the University of Zagreb. After his graduation, he got a job with Zagrebačka Banka and later worked at the state stockpiles agency. Since 1996 he has been a judge of Zagreb Commercial Court. He is known for ruling against banks in the Swiss franc case.

ZAGREB, 15 Oct 2021 - Croatian parliamentary parties on Friday welcomed the adoption of the law ratifying the Croatian-German Visiting Forces Agreement, with some expressing concern about the article on criminal jurisdiction and coercive measures.

The agreement concerns temporary stays of members of the armed forces of Croatia and the armed forces of Germany in the territory of the other state.

"We are concerned about the article on criminal jurisdiction and coercive measures, which narrows the right to exercise criminal jurisdiction over members of the armed forces of the sending state," Vili Matula of the Left-Green Bloc said during the discussion. "It is not clear to us why the receiving state should waive the right of broader criminal jurisdiction," he added.

The Left-Green Bloc generally supports bilateral defence cooperation with countries that have highly developed democratic standards and do not violate human rights, and when defence cooperation also includes forms of development assistance.

"Germany is one such country and we have no objections to this kind of cooperation," Matula said.

Arsen Bauk of the Social Democratic Party said that these are common provisions in agreements like this. "Without them, I doubt that any country would send its troops to another country. We, too, certainly would not want our soldiers, when deployed in a foreign country, to be tried under the laws of that country, in particular if that country has capital punishment or cuts people's hands off."

Bauk said that this agreement should be supported, because "if any problems arise in its implementation, there is a clear mechanism to fix them."

Katarina Peović of the Workers Front said that the agreement could perhaps have been improved, but that the Croatian parliament did not have a chance to do that.  She resented the emphasis being put on the fact that the agreement was being signed with a major European country, which she said was "pure self-colonialism".

"I don't see this agreement as servile, but as one laying the legal groundwork for cooperation, which is already excellent," said Domagoj Hajduković of the Social Democrats group, adding that the two countries have close bilateral defence cooperation and participate together in NATO and EU missions.

"Everything that applies to the Croatian armed forces also applies to the German armed forces," noted Zdravko Jakup, state secretary at the Ministry of Defence. "We are always responsible for our forces wherever they may be and no one can absolve us from such responsibility," he said, expressing satisfaction that the ratification of the agreement is before Parliament.

The agreement governs the type, scope and duration of stays, the terms of entry, exit and stay, public security and order, public health, criminal jurisdiction and coercive measures,  telecommunications, environmental protection, the operation of vehicles of the sending state’s armed forces and the use of the receiving state’s airfields, settlement of claims, exercises, and settlement of disputes.

ZAGREB, 15 Oct 2021 - The Croatian Medical Chamber (HLK) and Croatian Medical Association (HLZ) on Friday condemned the anti-vaxxer protest outside Health Minister Vili Beroš's home.

About a dozen citizens gathered outside Beroš's home on Thursday evening after a Religious Instruction teacher from Križevci called on them to do so on his Facebook profile.

In the post entitled "House visit to COVID response team", Ivan Pokupac wrote that they would come unannounced in front of the home of one member of the national response team every day and stand around for 15 minutes to let them, their families and neighbours know of the "terror they are imposing on citizens."

The two medical associations said that such threatening behaviour of individuals directed against the family of any citizen, and in this case of an official, is an essentially unacceptable act that could put these families in jeopardy.

In any democratic society, there is no room for protests and demonstrations in front of an individual's home and they directly threaten the safety of family members.

Calls for violence and hate speech on social networks are a criminal act, and unfortunately, this unacceptable protest was preceded precisely by such comments on social networks, HLK and HLZ warned.

October 21, 2021 - All the natural ingredients are there, but taking Croatian gastronomy to the next level requires vision. And when gourmet visions collide, the results can be enticing indeed.

When I first moved to Dalmatia back in 2003, there was a joke among the few expats already there about the local food. 

"Did you know," they would ask, "that there is a factory in Croatia which makes the menus for every restaurant in the country?"

"Really?" I responded, unaware that they were not being serious.

"Yes, that's correct. They print the same menu for everyone. All the restaurant has to do is write in the restaurant name and add their own prices."

I laughed, but the joke DID have an element of truth to it. As gorgeous as Hvar was back in 2003, once you had sampled the menu of one restaurant, you had pretty much sampled it all. Cevapi, mixed grill, octopus salad, grilled squid & pizza. 

Back then, every restaurant seemed to offer the same cheap table wine, Faros red or Faros white by the litre bottle. It was drinkable but nothing more.

It was years before I learned that Hvar was an incredible island of wine with exceptional quality. 

What confused me about the gourmet scene back then was the food I had outside the restaurants was of EXCEPTIONAL quality. My punica (mother-in-law) and wife were legends in the kitchen, but it was the quality of food that came from the family field which had me equally impressed. Coming from Manchester, where water tomatoes are available 24/7 (at least until Brexit...), 12 months a year, the sheer intensity of the tastes of these Hvar fruits and vegetables was a revelation. 

As was the knowledge that they were only available at certain times of the year, and in certain regions. 

I came to long for the asparagus season in March (if you have never tasted wild Croatian asparagus, you really must) and the mandarins of November, for example. I was tutored in the Balkan culture of Moving Vegetables. No trip in the region could be performed without sending fresh produce from the family field to relatives elsewhere. 20 kilos of lemons from Jelsa to Belgrade, with the corresponding weight of red peppers on the return journey.  Olive oil from Jelsa to Varazdin, pumpkin oil sent back. And most bizarrely to this vegetable-deficient  Manchester city boy, 30 cabbages from Jelsa to Zagreb at one time of the year, 30 very different cabbages from Zagreb to Jelsa a few months later. 

But the restaurant scene to the casual tourist? Beyond disappointing. 

And then things started to change.

Anthony Bourdain's stunning look at Croatian cuisine back in 2011 blew my mind. It also blew his as he called anyone who was unaware of the phenomenal Croatian cuisine - including himself - a f@cking idiot. Bourdain unveiled a cuisine that included in his words "world-class wine, world-class food, world-class cheese."

Things started to change, not necessarily as a direct result of Bourdain, although it had an influence. More international cuisine options became available, and not just in Zagreb. There was a lot more experimentation, both of traditional recipes, and with fusion dishes. 

The international gourmet media began to take notice, and the first mentions in the Michelin Guide - and then the first Michelin Stars - were awarded. The 2021 Michelin Awards this week saw no less than 10 Croatian restaurants with a Michelin Star, and a total of 68 restaurants in the prestigious Michelin Guide.

The best Croatian food - to me at least - has always been based on simple recipes, passed down by grandmothers, using the freshest local produce depending on the season. Add to that the creative flair of an innovative chef or a gourmand with an eye for detail and a fresh perspective, and the results can be spectacular. 

And if you have the creative flair of an innovative Croatian chef AND an international gourmand, with a very simple concept for Croatian cuisine which has not been properly done before, then things get rather interesting. 

One of the more colourful expats in Zagreb is an Egyptian-Algerian entrepreneur called Adel EL Miniawy. With an impressive background in hospitality, including four years at the prestigious Swiss Hotel Management School in Caux, Adel moved to Zagreb in 2016 to start his hospitality business in Croatia, the first phase of which was Doma Zagreb Aparthotel in the city centre. Seven 4-star serviced apartments (with a Booking.com rating of 9.8) will soon have access to additional services, including bar, co-working space and dining area. Doma Zagreb Aparthotel has been catering to tourists and business travellers since it opened, as well as being the accommodation partner for the ongoing Zagreb Digital Nomad Ambassador project. 

As with many foreigners living in Croatia, the fresh perspective, international experience and foreign eye highlight untapped potential in Croatian tourism. Over a glass or three of Grk last year, Adel told me about a simple Croatian gourmet concept that had not been done before, but that would be a total hit. A concept he was determined to bring to the market, if only he could find the right chef to buy into the concept. 

The concept will be announced shortly,  but I was amazed to see that such a simple - and central - part of Croatian gastronomy was indeed being overlooked. A concept that the right chef could bring a new and delicious focus to Croatian cuisine. 

And then Adel found his chef, 30-year-old Mario Mandaric, whose culinary journey has been quite extraordinary. From dropping out of school in Omis at the age of 17 to making the Forbes list of 30 most influential under 30-year-olds just 12 years later, while cooking in a Michelin 3-star restaurant, the Fat Duck. You can read more about Mario here. 

Mario thought this simple concept for Croatian cuisine by this crazy Egyptian was genius, and one with a lot of potential, and a story in which he wanted to play his part. After months of messaging, the two finally met last week for the first time, and I met them for a drink a little later. 

It was a pleasure to watch two consummate professionals with completely different backgrounds approaching this simple concept with such passion and enthusiasm.  

Mario's knowledge of the details of things related to Croatian food was staggering. He worked on my adopted island of Hvar this summer and told m a story I had never heard before, despite having written more than 9,000 articles about that beautiful island. Some 200 years ago, there was a potato famine on Hvar (and I assume elsewhere). The price of potatoes rose to insane prices, even higher than gold at one point. Locals would take their gold on the boat to Split and return with precious potatoes. 

Until one day... a local lady discovered a way to make gnocchi without potatoes. And the crisis was over. 

Final details are being put to the new gourmet concept for Croatian cuisine, which will be launched in Zagreb early next year. It is a story we will be featuring a lot on TCN, and we looking forward to it being a delicious and educational journey for us and our readers. 

October 15, 2021 – With local seafood currently at its best and cooler temperatures inviting runners, hikers and cyclists to this spectacular location, Omiš in autumn is one of the best destinations of the season.

When temperatures cool on the Croatian coast, the telltale signs of tourism start to fade. Villages that were full of people in summer become very still. Only in the larger places does life go on unaffected.

The seaside city of Omiš is one such place. The charming Omiš Old Town streets hold their special atmosphere throughout the year. Autumn, in particular, is a favourite time for visitors to come.

Arguably, this is the time of year when Omiš's famous and distinct cuisine is at its best. Omiš's special bounty of seafood comes from its position on the Cetina river. The best-tasting Mediterranean fish and shellfish love these conditions, where the freshwater meets the saltwater. And, in autumn, the prawns, scampi and calamari are at their biggest and best. The restaurants of Omiš offer fresh, seasonal specialties every day. Their tables are taken by relaxed visitors from all over the region, drawn to the city now the summertime rush has subsided.

But, in the hills above and behind Omiš, and along the long promenades of the Omiš riviera, different kinds of visitors can be found. The cooler temperatures of autumn are perfect for cycling, running, hiking and walking.

Sitting 262 metres above the city, the 15th century Starigrad Fortress is a mildly challenging hike. But, even older children can easily manage it. And the views from the top are incredibly rewarding. Autumn's cooling winds blow along the water surface, cleaning the vista. You can see so much detail on the islands opposite Omiš when the air quality is like this.

For those who prefer sport and recreation of a different kind, autumn in Omiš holds four of the city's most eagerly anticipated challenges

Omiš in Autumn: Dalmatia Ultra Trail

With between 60% and 80% of its entrants coming from overseas, Dalmatia Ultra Trail is among the most internationally famous of all Croatia's cross country runs. And for good reason. The scenery is spectacular. There are three route options, allowing the race to be accessible to runners of varying abilities.

Mountain Dut

Starting from the Roman town of Solin, just north of Split, Mountain Dut is the biggest challenge of this Dalmatia Ultra Trail. On a course with a total distance of 122 km, runners will ascend to Putalj and Klis, site of the famous fortress, crossing along the Dinaric Alps before dropping down to Gata in the Omiš hinterland. From there, they drop down into the spectacular Cetina river valley and run parallel to the river until Kostanje.

Returning up into the hills to visit the traditional village of Zadvarje, the trail next takes runners down to beautiful Brela. Runners will pass by beautiful Brela beaches, then those of the Omiš riviera villages Pisak, Marušići, Mimice and Medići. Then, it's back up to the final stretch of hills, visiting the old village of Lokva Rogoznica on the way, before finally descending to Omiš.

Mountain Dut 2021 starts on Friday 15th October at 9pm from Solin. Trail runners have 32 hours to complete the course. Each finisher will be awarded with 5 ITRA qualification points.

Sea Dut

At 56km in length, Sea Dut offers a challenging trail set before the entire Makarska and Omiš riviera coastline. Starting in Makarska, runners rise up to the village of Kotišina, famous for its botanical gardens and castle. Thereafter, they ascend Biokovo mountain, the trail reaching almost 875 metres above sea level. They stay atop the hills all the way to Brela, where they drop down to the beach. Thereafter, they take the same course as Mountain Dut, past Pisak, Marušići, Mimice and Medići, up to Lokva Rogoznica, then down to Omiš.

Sea Dut 2021 starts on Saturday 16th October at 8am from Makarska. Trail runners have 15 hours to complete the course. Each finisher will be awarded with 3 ITRA qualification points.

Ethno Dut

With a total distance of 18km, Ethno Dut is the most accessible of the Dalmatia Ultra Trails here. Starting in Dugi Rat, runners make a moderate ascent into the hills of just under 400 metres above sea level. They maintain roughly the same altitude for the entire trail, passing Jesenice and Tugare, before dropping down into Omiš.

Ethno Dut 2021 starts on Saturday 16th October at 1pm from Dugi Rat. Trail runners have 5 hours to complete the course. Each finisher will be awarded with 1 ITRA qualification point.

Omiš in Autumn: Omiš Half Marathon

With a backdrop of mountains and the Cetina river, the half marathon in Omiš is perhaps Croatia's most spectacular. Where else can you run a virtually flat course with such scenery accompanying you?

Of course, the striking route is facilitated by following the Cetina river canyon. When doing so, runners pass some of the best rafting, kayaking, trekking, hiking and free-climbing locations in Croatia.

In 2021, the event again has two races - the half marathon and a recreational 6 kilometre race. Both take place within the Cetina river canyon.

The Omiš Half Marathon takes place on Saturday 23rd October 2021.

You can register here and entries will be accepted in person between 8 am - 9 am on the day of the race. For more details, check the event's Facebook page.

With the tournament celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2021, there's no better time for the Fifa accredited UEFA Futsal Champions League to be coming to Omiš. Better still, the hometown Futsal team, MNK Olmissum are the current national champions. They won both the cup and the league in the 2020/2021 season!

Champions! © MNK Olmissum

It's been two decades since a Croatian team reached the semi-finals of the tournament. Currently, MNK Olmissum are ranked within the top 16 of all European futsal clubs. To proceed in the competition, the hometown heroes will have to come top of their group. They face opponents Leo (Armenia), Diamant Linz (Austria) and KMF FON (Serbia). They will host the group at their home ground of Ribnjak, Omiš between October 26 and 31. The matches will be televised, but what better way to enjoy than in-person?

Omiš in Autumn: Dalmatian Trail League - Mosor Grebbening

The spectacular section of the Dinaric Alps that lies to the west of Omiš is known as Mosor. It starts near Klis, above Split, and runs to the Cetina river. Mosor Grebbening is a series of trail runs through this epic mountain terrain. In 2021, it is the 9th round of the famous Dalmatian Trail League.

The event contains a choice of three adult trails and one children's race. All of the races start or end in the village of Gata, in the Omiš hinterland.

Starting in Klis and finishing in Gata, Sivonja is the toughest trail. It is 37.50km in length and has a 2590m ascent. Runners have 12 hours to complete the course.

Still a tough ask, Tovar is the slightly easier choice. At 17km and with an ascent of 1270m, you're given 8 hours to complete the trail.

At 8 kilometres in length and with a 400 metre ascent, Pule is the most accessible race. It should take way less than the 4 hours allocated. The children's race is an 800 metre dash around Gata.

Mosor Grebbening takes place on Saturday 13 November 2021.

Registration for the races: exclusively via the online registration form here.
