To celebrate the new season, a welcome offer, valid May 1–15, includes a three-night minimum stay with an automatic upgrade within the same accommodation type, a complimentary dinner for two at Maslina’s Michelin-recommended restaurant (not including drinks), and a complimentary 30-minute spa experience for two at Pharomatiq Spa.

 

With a focus on mindful luxury, Pharomatiq Spa offers five treatment rooms and offerings inspired by the area’s environment and flora. The garden-to-skin wellness concept means each treatment includes locally grown herbs and essential oils.

The culinary offerings at Maslina Resort also match the mindful luxury philosophy, adhering to the concept of a Mediterranean diet, widely considered beneficial to health. Local ingredients and producers factor heavily into the menu options, with a large amount of the produce grown in the resort’s on-site 7,000-square-meter organic garden.
