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.

July 17, 2021 - Radisson Blu Resort & Spa in Split proudly announced that after opening a new spa and wellness center, extensively renovating the hotel lobby, and expanding to a private Beach Club, the Croatian Ministry of Tourism classified it as a five-star hotel.

The reclassification from four to five stars followed in early June this year, after a significant investment in the hotel, which began with the construction of an annex opened in 2018, which housed 69 luxury rooms with unobstructed views of the Adriatic Sea, decorated in a style that reflects Dalmatian influence. The improvement of the resort continued with the opening of the new spa and wellness center Spalato Spa, which stretches over more than 2,600 m2 of luxurious indoor and outdoor space overlooking the Adriatic Sea, reports HRTurizam.

"We have invested a lot of work in our redesign and renovation over the past months, and we are very excited to be awarded the five-star category and present the new beautiful decoration of our hotel, just in time for this season. With the addition of a brand new Spalato Spa and wellness area, a freshly redesigned lobby, and works to expand our Mistral Beach Club, we offer our guests the opportunity to see and enjoy even more," said Jesper Visoe, CEO of Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa.

The Spalato Spa offers visitors a sauna, a steam bath, cold and hot pools, a spacious space for relaxation, hot tubs, treatment rooms, and fitness and yoga rooms. The private spa area with a separate entrance is designed for guests looking for a personalized wellness experience. The philosophy of this Spa is focused on the elements of water, air, and stone.

The hotel’s private Mistral Beach Club, located on a pebble beach below the hotel, will provide guests with a ‘fjaka’ experience - the art of doing nothing. More than 200 deck chairs and 18 top cabanas are located on the beach and wooden platforms facing the sea. The recently refreshed Beach Club dining and entertainment concept includes a restaurant and bar serving international cuisine with Croatian influence. Dishes range from meat and fish to vegan options, and the bar offers a wide selection of cocktails, wines, and champagnes.

The total investment in the spa, lobby, and Beach Club exceeds 3 million euros. The hotel management announces that work is planned for the coming period on the renovation and improvement of catering facilities and rooms in the old part of the hotel.

With 252 rooms and suites, outdoor and indoor pools, a fitness center, restaurant and bar, and eight modern meeting rooms, Radisson Blu Resort & Spa in Split is an ideal destination on the Adriatic coast, only 25 minutes from Split Airport.

October 15, 2020 - The Lifestyle Check IN series is an event that focuses on products and services that nurture a philosophy of comfortable living such as fashion and fashion accessories, cosmetics, home decoration, the automotive and nautical industries, and technology.

The first partner country is Austria, so in addition to Croatian products, visitors will also be able to enjoy the products of Austrian lifestyle brands in the exhibition rooms of the Radisson Blu Hotel in Split on Thursday from 1 pm.

After the first two events in Austria, this will be the first edition of the event held in Croatia, and given that any private initiative is a rarity among local, let alone among foreign entrepreneurs due to the epidemiological situation, organizer Monica Ioanitescu revealed why she chose Split for the premiere edition in 2020.

"Split embodies the philosophy of comfortable and beautiful living and is an ideal place to live and do business, so your city this year is also my choice for permanent residence. On Thursday, Croatian lifestyle brands and colleagues from Austria will present their products to the domestic business and general public.

To avoid grouping visitors and provide them with a pleasant stay while allowing them to observe and enjoy undisturbed conversation with exhibitors, the exhibition spaces will be hotel rooms located on different floors of the Radisson Blu Resort & Spa. Also, we limited the number of visitors to a hundred, with the hotel being so spacious that keeping a distance of two meters can be easily respected. Still, masks are, of course, mandatory if, at some point, you cannot maintain a distance. Health is our priority, but we should not stop living and stop all our private and business activities. It is only necessary to invest a little more creativity in the organization of events in these new circumstances," said Ioanitescu.

What type of visitors are expected at the Lifestyle Check In event?

"Lifestyle Check In addresses the general public, the citizens of Split, but also local and foreign entrepreneurs. Everyone is welcome. Tickets are sold through entrio.hr, but the number is limited. Part of the guests will come with an invitation that we sent primarily to local entrepreneurs to have the opportunity to connect with Austrian companies from the sector. Entrepreneurs I approached presented the concept and suggested a presentation, both domestic and Austrian; most of them accepted with enthusiasm; entrepreneurs want to work and create. We need to allow them to continue creating."

Apart from the lifestyle brand products themselves, what else will welcome visitors on Thursday?

"Most of the brands are for ladies, and a hair & makeup corner has been designed for them, but we also thought of men who will be taken care of by the Marevo Cigar Club, and we have also provided a corner for the youngest. Then, from 4 pm, Radisson's happy hour starts, and at 6 pm, the workshop 'My skin by dr. Kaliterna' whose products have delighted ladies of all generations in recent years. At 8 pm, the program includes a fashion show by renowned Austrian designer Dali Oleschko, who will present the clothes she creates for the modern woman, colorful and of the highest quality fabrics. We will be introduced to the brand No7 by Šime Kovačević, which many Split residents already know, but those who are not familiar with his work, I would advise you to join us definitely!"
