3 best friends, a rainy and grey winter weekend and a wellness center with whirlpools, sauna park, and wellness center in the heart of beautiful Slovenia.
Doesn’t it sound like the recipe for happiness?
This is what we experienced a couple of weeks ago at the Thermana Park in Lasko, ans it was without any doubt one of the best weekends of my life.
That Slovenia is a top destination when it comes to cities, culture and outdooors activities is no secret, but maybe not everybody knows that Slovenia scores high even on the wellness and hospitality side, and Lasko shines in this ranking as one of the most reknown wellness in the country.
Why?
Well, the main complex of pools and whirlpools under a huge glass dome that gives you a 360 view over the outside village and woods of Lasko, often covered in snow in winter, could already be enough, but the elegance and style of the hotel, the sauna park and the wellness center are just the icing on the cake.
What struck me the most was the ayurveda and yoga center, boasting a full staff of ayurveda and yoga certified professionals coming all the way from Kerala, India.
I will talk more about the ayurveda center soon, as it is a philosophy that really touched me in the deep, meanwhile I take you with me inside the Thermana Park for a weekend girls only!
waking up in Lasko:
breakfast with bread, slovenian honey and nuts,
and individual yoga session overlooking the woods
for a great and natural start of the day!
my beautiful friend Arianna in the hotel hall “Thermana Park Lasko”
wouldn’t you feel like a princess walking up these stairs?
ready for a day at Thermana Park!
the main pool hall with the glass dome
usually the pools lighten up in the evening,
we had to wait until they closed to make the pictures
evenings in Lasko! Tasting Lasko beer of course
and now my favorite part: the sauna park!
the round pool you see in the middle is filled with iced water,
perfect to dive into after the sauna for an incredible revitalizing effect!
inside the sauna “cristallo” the biggest of the complex
with a stunning view to the outdoor heated pool
soaking into the outdoor pool, surrounded by woods and nature
the staff the the Thermana Park is professional, and very nice
one of the room dedicated to ayurveda,
I will post more about the ayurveda center soon
if you come to Thermana with your friends you will have the time of your life,
but if you come with your partner, there are a whole lot of other things you can try
this room for example,
can you imagine spending an afternoon with your other half in here?
Could be the perfect way to celebrate a special occasion ..
the bridge on the Savinja river, on which I discovered you can get married!
The Thermana Park can take care of the ceremony and the party,
and of course can accomodate the guests!
What an original and fun way to get married!
Lasko lays in the heart of Slovenia, only one hour by car from Ljubljana, the capital.
The town of Lasko is little and cute, but offers a lot of things to do and see, for example excursions into nature but it’s also house to many pretty castles and churches and of course the brewery “Lasko” which is famous in whole Slovenia as well as in Northern Italy.
For info on what to do and see in Lasko, as well as how to get to it, you can go to the tourist board website, while for info on Thermana Park you can go to the wellness website, which I strongly recommend to check out the offers and packages they promote!
For what concerns me, I’m looking forward to visit Thermana Park again, this time with my boyfriend!
I’ve heard so much about Slovenia lately, this looks like brilliant fun. Just found your blog, finally taking some time to peek around it! x Stephanie
