Coping with cancer diagnosis: free lecture at Hotel Marvie

A cancer diagnosis marks the beginning of an uncertain journey filled with questions. Beyond medical treatment, patients and their families are faced with sudden lifestyle changes, dietary doubts, and emotional challenges. That is why, alongside medical care, having access to reliable information and expert guidance is essential for understanding every aspect of life with a diagnosis.

These key topics will be the focus of a free public panel, “Navigating a Cancer Diagnosis,” taking place on Thursday, October 22, 2026, at 6:00 PM at Marvie Hotel in Split. The event is organized in partnership with Udruga Caspera, an association supporting women diagnosed with and treated for cancer.

Oncologist, nutritionists, and a psychotherapy counselor in one place

Dr. Ante Strikić, PhD, MD, a specialist in clinical oncology, will discuss what a diagnosis really means, which questions to ask your doctor, and how to navigate the treatment process. He has more than 15 years of experience in treating malignant diseases.

Nutrition during cancer treatment is another area that often raises questions. Nutritionists Dora Bučan Nenadić and Marija Selak will discuss nutrition during and after treatment, offering practical guidance that can help patients in their everyday lives.

Alda Strikić, a psychotherapy counsellor, will address the emotional challenges that may arise following a diagnosis and the importance of psychological support when navigating change. Fear, uncertainty and changes in relationships with loved ones are experiences some people face, making it important to recognise personal needs and know where to seek help.

The lecture will be moderated by Marina Zečić, Vice President of the Caspera Association for Women Affected by and Treated for Cancer. Following the presentations, attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and receive further clarification on the topics that interest them.

Marvie - a hotel that heals

The lecture is part of Hotel Marvie & Health’s health and wellness programme, which brings its professionals and services closer to the local community. The experts taking part in the lecture are also available for consultations at Marvie, giving those interested the opportunity to seek their services beyond the event.

The lecture “Coping with a cancer diagnosis” will take place on Thursday, October 22, 2026, at 6 PM at Hotel Marvie, Peričićeva 1, Split. Attendance is free of charge, but advance registration is required due to limited seating.

Nutritional Counseling – Personalized, Science-Based Nutrition for Better Health

Nutritional Counseling – Personalized, Science-Based Nutrition for Better Health

In today’s modern lifestyle, nutrition is increasingly becoming a source of uncertainty and stress, primarily due to the overwhelming amount of information that is often contradictory and not scientifically grounded. Amid popular diets, short-term trends, and oversimplified advice, it is difficult to distinguish what is truly effective, safe, and sustainable in the long term. The result of such an environment is often a disrupted relationship with food, as well as the neglect of its essential role in maintaining health.

For this reason, nutrition should be viewed as a science-based discipline that, through an individualized approach, provides clarity, stability, and long-term balance in eating habits. Special emphasis is placed on clinical nutrition, which plays a key role in both prevention and therapeutic support for various health conditions.

Such a professional and comprehensive approach is available as part of the health offering at Marvie Hotel & Health, through nutritional counseling in collaboration with the Nutrient team, consisting of certified nutritionists Dora Bučan Nenadić and Marija Selak, who have extensive experience in clinical nutrition and diet therapy for both adults and children. Their work is based on modern scientific guidelines, with a strong focus on the individual needs, health status, and lifestyle of each person.

Nutritional Counseling Services in Collaboration with the Nutrient Team

Whether your goal is to improve overall health, manage body weight, enhance your nutritional status, or receive professional support for chronic or acute conditions, nutritional counseling at Marvie Hotel is based on a personalized and clinically relevant approach.

At our counseling center, you receive an individual approach, expert consultations, education, and a personalized nutrition plan tailored to your needs. Through regular progress monitoring and ongoing adjustments, we provide continuous support and help you achieve tangible results on your journey toward a healthier and more balanced lifestyle.

At Marvie Hotel, every consultation begins with a detailed assessment of dietary habits, medical history, lifestyle, and individual goals. Based on this information, a personalized nutrition plan is created that is not only nutritionally balanced but also practical and easy to implement in everyday life.

The goal of nutritional counseling is not strict control or restriction, but rather the development of a healthy and sustainable relationship with food, aligned with each individual’s health condition.

Nutritional services available at Marvie Hotel include:

– individual nutritional consultations

– body composition analysis – bioelectrical impedance

– counseling tailored to health conditions and individual goals

– development of personalized nutrition plans and clinically guided dietary protocols

– education on proper, balanced nutrition and diet therapy

– guidance on dietary supplementation

– ongoing monitoring and adjustment of recommendations based on individual needs

This is a comprehensive approach that enables gradual and sustainable changes, without short-term diets or pressure.

Nutrition as an integral part of your stay at Marvie

During your stay at Marvie Hotel, we can provide tailored nutrition plans aligned with your individual needs, health conditions, and goals. In collaboration with our nutritionists, we can create personalized:

– Mediterranean nutrition plans

– weight management plans

– nutrition plans for individuals with diabetes and specific dietary needs

In this way, nutrition becomes an essential part of your health and wellness experience, rather than just an additional service.

Education and support for corporate clients

Nutritional counseling at Marvie Hotel also includes educational programs on healthy nutrition for corporate clients, designed as part of employee wellbeing initiatives. Our programs focus on:

– improving dietary habits in everyday and work environments

– increasing employees’ energy, focus, and overall health

– fostering long-term healthy work habits

Programs can be tailored to the specific needs of each organization and delivered in various formats, from lectures to interactive workshops.

Learning through practice – master healthy and balanced cooking with our chef and nutritionists

In addition to the theoretical part, nutrition education can also include practical workshops on preparing healthy meals, where participants actively take part in cooking under the guidance of our chef and nutritionists. Through this approach, you will have the opportunity to:

– learn proper techniques for preparing healthy meals

– explore how to adapt recipes to different dietary needs

– understand how to preserve the nutritional value of ingredients in everyday cooking

Practical experience makes it easier to adopt new knowledge and apply it in real life, because healthy nutrition is not just theory, but a part of everyday living.

Nutrition as part of a holistic approach to health

At Marvie Hotel, nutrition is viewed as an integral part of comprehensive health care. Nutritional counseling naturally complements other health and wellness services within the hotel, creating a balanced and integrated approach to overall wellbeing of both body and mind.

The first step toward healthier habits is often simple – seeking professional guidance. Through nutritional counseling at Marvie Hotel, you will receive clear guidelines, personalized support, and the knowledge needed to make better long-term dietary choices.

Education and Support in the Process of Oncological Treatment – Knowledge, Understanding, and Guidance in Challenging Times

Education and Support in the Process of Oncological Treatment – Knowledge, Understanding, and Guidance in Challenging Times

Facing an oncological diagnosis is one of the most challenging periods in life, both for the individual receiving the diagnosis and for their family. Alongside medical examinations and treatments, numerous questions, uncertainty, and emotional burdens arise, which are often difficult to manage without additional support. Information can sometimes feel overwhelming or unclear, and feelings of fear and insecurity may further complicate the treatment process.

For this reason, at Marvie Hotel & Health, in collaboration with Dr. Ante Strikić, MD, PhD, a specialist in radiation therapy and oncology with extensive clinical experience, we offer educational programs and individual support in oncological topics. This professionally designed program serves as a complement to medical care, with an emphasis on a holistic approach to the individual – addressing physical, emotional, and psychological health.

Education as the foundation of understanding and security

An oncological diagnosis often brings a large amount of information that can be difficult to fully understand without professional guidance. The education provided by Dr. Ante Strikić, MD, PhD is based on clear, verified, and medically grounded knowledge, tailored to the individual needs of each patient. Clear explanations of the course of the disease, treatment options, possible side effects, as well as guidance related to nutrition, physical activity, and mental balance help create a greater sense of security and control over the situation.

Support for patients and their families

Oncological disease affects not only the patient, but also family members and loved ones. Support programs are designed to create a safe space for conversation, asking questions, and expressing emotions without pressure or judgment.

Through an individual counseling approach, this type of support helps patients cope emotionally with the diagnosis and the changes it brings, reduces stress, anxiety, and feelings of isolation, strengthens psychological resilience, and facilitates adaptation to everyday life during and after therapy. Such a professionally guided process can have a significant positive impact on the quality of life of patients and their families.

An integrated approach to health at Marvie

At Marvie, education and support in oncological topics are part of a broader, integrated approach to health that connects different aspects of personal care into a cohesive whole. Programs can, according to individual needs, be complemented by other health and wellness services offered by the hotel, such as nutritional counseling, physiotherapy, mental health support programs, and selected wellness services.

The goal of this approach is to ensure a sense of continuity, wholeness, and structured care in an environment that fosters calmness and trust.

Support as a process, not a one-time encounter

Education and support in oncological topics are not a one-time intervention, but rather a process that adapts to the individual’s needs throughout different stages of coping with the illness. An individualized approach allows the content and intensity of support to be adjusted to personal circumstances, pace, and emotional state.

The first step – information and conversation

The first step toward a greater sense of security is often a conversation with a specialist who understands both the medical and the human aspects of oncological disease. Through educational programs and consultations with Dr. Ante Strikić, MD, PhD, patients and their families can gain knowledge, understanding, and guidance that help them navigate the challenging period of treatment with greater confidence.

For more information about the available programs and consultation options, additional details and individual appointments can be requested.

Little Suitcase of Memories: How Our Guests Help the Children of Maestral Start Their Journeys Toward a Happier Future

Little Suitcase of Memories: How Our Guests Help the Children of Maestral Start Their Journeys Toward a Happier Future

Travel shapes us, opens our minds, and leaves lasting memories. Inspired by this shared experience, we created the Little Suitcase of Memories initiative, a project through which our guests help bring the joy of travel to the children of the Maestral Children’s Home.

When memories from Split become more than just a souvenir

Every year, nearly one million visitors from around the world come to Split. Even though they return home with memories of the Adriatic Sea, sun-soaked days, and the relaxed Dalmatian way of life, those memories now can be even more meaningful.

In collaboration with the Maestral Children’s Home, we launched an initiative that lets guests take home not just memories of their stay in Split, but also the joy of having made a positive impact, helping children who grow up without adequate parental care.

Journeys that enrich childhood

The Maestral Center takes care of 160 children, and one of the most valuable experiences we can give them is travel. Travel gives children new experiences, learning through play, the opportunity to discover different cities and cultures and most importantly the chance to create memories that last a lifetime.

That is why we launched The Little Suitcase of Memories initiative. During their stay at our hotel, guests can make a symbolic donation of at least 10 euros, dedicated exclusively to funding trips and excursions for Maestral children in Croatia and abroad.

Donations are made easily at check-out, with no additional forms, QR codes, or complicated procedures.

Little travelers have already returned from their first journey

Although the initiative has only just begun and is planned to run for one year, with the possibility of continuing, the first little travelers have already taken their first journeys and returned with unforgettable experiences. Recently, a group of children from Maestral went on a trip to Zagreb, where they explored museums and landmarks, and participated in a variety of fun and educational activities.

An invitation to join in

This initiative is open to others who wish to be part of it. We believe in the power of community, which is why we invite other hotels, private accommodations, travel agencies, and individuals to join us in filling children’s suitcases with new journeys, experiences, and memories.

If you are a business or an individual interested in supporting the Little Suitcase of Memories initiative, feel free to get in touch, because together, we can help make their childhood memories richer and future brighter.

A New Chapter in Health Tourism in Dalmatia – Towards Better Health with Marvie Hotel & Health

Croatia is considered one of the most desirable destinations in the Mediterranean – not only for its crystal-clear waters, a thousand islands, and a naturally therapeutic climate, but also because increasing numbers of visitors come to improve their health, find balance, and enhance their personal well-being. This is reflected in the numbers: between 5% and 10% of total tourism revenue comes from trips motivated by health and wellness.

At Marvie Hotel & Health, we have been following this trend from the very beginning, while actively expanding it. We are constantly broadening our health and wellness offerings to provide our guests with an experience that combines relaxation and well-being in one, just 500 meters from the sea. This year, we have further expanded our range of services and collaborations with experts from various fields who care for our guests’ health and guide them one step closer to recovery – and to their best selves.

Description: Marija Selak, Dora Bućan Nenadić, Alda Strikić, Ante Strikić

Together with our valued long-term partners at MediDerm Clinic, who provide top-notch services in dermatology, aesthetic, surgical, and internal medicine, we are now also collaborating with nutritionists as well as psychotherapeutic and oncology advisors. Additionally, a center for physical therapy and rehabilitation has opened within our hotel.

Take your first step toward recovery with Remediso

Since this October, Split has been home to Remediso, a center for physical medicine and rehabilitation located on the ground floor of our hotel. Remediso brings together experienced physiotherapy specialists and offers everything in one place, from a heated 28°C pool for aquatic exercises, to consultation rooms, a gym, and a kinesitherapy studio.

As the only center in Dalmatia offering hydrotherapy in a heated pool, Remediso enables faster and more comfortable recovery through both individual and group programs.

Nutrient knows the way to better health through nutrition

The importance of nutrition as the foundation of vitality, health, and overall well-being is well known to certified nutritionists Marija Selak and Dora Bučan Nenadić, the professionals behind the Nutrient nutrition counseling center. In their work, they combine a scientific approach with individualized guidance, providing personalized guidance and recommendations for a healthy and balanced lifestyle.

Whether the goal is to increase vitality, manage body weight, receive nutritional support during illness, or improve performance, Marija and Dora offer nutrition consultations, individual and group educations, the creation of personalized meal plans, and practical guidance for everyday nutrition. Through regular progress monitoring and plan adjustments, Nutrient provides comprehensive and expert support for a healthier and more balanced way of life.

Kintsugi counseling for mental and physical well-being

Kintsugi Counseling operates within our hotel, led by Alda Strikić, a psychotherapeutic counselor and coach. The program helps guests enhance awareness, resilience, and inner balance, reduce stress, and increase energy, focus, and overall well-being.

Guests can choose from a variety of services, including psychotherapeutic counseling for emotional challenges and relationships, coaching for personal and professional goals, Wingwave coaching for rapid stress and block release, and autogenic training for deep relaxation of body and mind, which helps maintaining mental and physical health, boosting energy, and enhancing overall well-being. All sessions take place in the welcoming environment of our hotel, providing expert and empathetic support on the journey toward greater balance and health.

Personalized oncology support and education

A new partner is also Dr. Ante Strikić, PhD, a specialist in radiotherapy and oncology. Facing oncology challenges is never easy, and as part of the hotel’s educational programs, Dr. Strikić provides individual counseling and support to guests, helping them better understand the treatment process and the changes it brings. Through a professional yet empathetic approach and open dialogue, he facilitates informed decisions about health, prevention, and acceptance, making this demanding journey more understandable and manageable.

MediDerm Clinic — excellence in medical and aesthetic treatments

Our partners, MediDerm Clinic, have been with us since the very beginning, and more than 50,000 successfully performed treatments and examinations clearly demonstrate the quality of their work. Led by Dr. Sanda Perić Šušak, their team covers a wide range of services – from dermatology and aesthetic medicine to surgery, orthopedics, pulmonology, and cardiology.

MediDerm provides its patients with comprehensive care: aesthetic and rejuvenation treatments, surgical procedures, varicose vein treatments, as well as advanced diagnostics. Special emphasis is placed on anti-aging and regenerative methods, combining experience, scientific precision, and a personalized approach to ensure that every visit delivers measurable results and a true sense of care.

A place where relaxation and health go hand in hand

As the first hotel in Dalmatia specialized in health tourism, we are committed to continuously improving our offerings. Every new service aims to raise the standard of health and wellness in Split and beyond, while promoting awareness of the importance of self-care. Health is not a trend, it is the greatest luxury and our most valuable resource.

That’s why we want Marvie Hotel & Health to be a place where caring for your health is accessible, effortless, and a natural part of every stay, a place where relaxation and well-being go hand in hand.

Remediso has opened — completing our Hotel’s healthcare and wellness offer with physical medicine and rehabilitation

Marvie Hotel and the city of Split are now home to a new center for physical medicine and rehabilitation!

We are proud to announce the opening of Remediso Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Center within our hotel, where an innovative and comprehensive approach combines the expertise of physiotherapists, modern technology, and an indoor pool — offering users a faster, more comfortable, and more relaxing path to their recovery.

At Remediso, every patient receives a personalized approach, focused on their specific needs and goals, with therapy programs adjusted along the way, avoiding the usual “universal” solutions that rarely bring real results.

Marvie Hotel & Health and Remediso welcome you to Peričićeva 1, where your unwanted rehabilitation process transforms into a pleasant and rewarding experience of returning to health and full strength.

Remediso has expanded and enriched our broad range of medical services, together with our partners MediDerm Clinic (a specialized medical institution offering a comprehensive approach to dermatology, aesthetics, surgery, and internal medicine), Nutrient (nutrition counseling), and Kintsugi (psychotherapy counseling), further confirming our commitment to your recovery.

From athletes to patients in recovery

Top professional athletes and dedicated recreational enthusiasts, business professionals with sedentary lifestyles, post-operative patients, and people in their prime or golden years — all are welcome at Remediso, the only physical medicine center in Split and Dalmatia that conducts individual and group hydrotherapy programs in a heated indoor pool with a temperature of 28°C.

In addition to the pool, users have access to two newly renovated treatment rooms equipped with state-of-the-art devices, a group exercise hall, and a fully equipped gym, all located on the same floor and accessible to people with disabilities, including a lift providing direct access to the pool area. All participants are also provided with private parking.

Leave your pain beneath the surface of the pool

Pool hydrotherapy is highly recommended by experts, as water reduces pressure on joints and muscles, allowing for safe and effective strengthening, improved flexibility, and greater range of motion.

At Marvie Hotel & Health and the Remediso Center, we take pride in being the only facility in Split to offer individual pool-based hydrotherapy, where the team of skilled and experienced physiotherapists guides patients suffering from conditions such as osteoarthritis or spinal pain through personalized aquatic therapy programs.

The healing power of water shortens recovery time, restores mobility, and reduces pain, as exercises performed in the pool, under the careful supervision of a physiotherapist, enhance circulation and strengthen muscles.

Patients can choose R-Flow group hydrotherapy, held in groups of 10 to 12 participants, where the support and energy of the group provide additional motivation, or book an individual session with a fully personalized exercise program designed according to their diagnosis and personal recovery goals.

Find the ideal therapy for your needs

Your first step toward recovery, in addition to hydrotherapy, can be taken with one of the expert medical therapies offered at the Remediso Center, such as manual therapy, soft tissue therapy, kinesiotherapy (individual and group R-Fit), HEIT magnetotherapy (High Energy Inductive Therapy), electrotherapy, medical massage, Dr. Vodder’s lymphatic drainage, and especially Indiba Activ therapy, designed for anyone seeking faster recovery after injuries, and without pain. For this reason, it is popular among top athletes as well as anyone recovering from surgery or trauma who wants to regain ease of movement and restore the body’s energy. You can find more information about other therapies here.

Indiba Activ Therapy for the Fastest Recovery

The Remediso Center is proud to offer the Indiba Activ therapy device, which uses 448 kHz radiofrequency to accelerate the body’s natural regeneration and support recovery of the musculoskeletal system. With more than 30 years of proven results in physiotherapy, this method can provide up to 70% faster recovery from sports injuries, sprains, and fractures, as well as reduce pain and swelling, promote more efficient tissue regeneration, and ultimately improve flexibility and mobility. Strength is restored to the body, and improvements in impaired functions can be noticeable after just a few initial treatments.

Personalized Therapy Plans and a Holistic Approach

At Remediso, our therapeutic processes are based on an individual approach and a personalized therapy plan, because each patient comes with their own story, symptoms, lifestyle, and goals. At the center, therapy begins with a detailed assessment of the patient’s condition. Progress is closely monitored, and treatments are continually adapted to the patient’s individual responses and changes in their health.

Through a holistic approach and focus on individual needs, Remediso provides long-term support for your health, making the center a trusted source for your recovery. Our working hours are Monday to Friday, from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM, and you can find more information about Remediso here.

The ambiance in Split during winter is quieter, which is exactly why this time of the year for many people is a favorite time to visit the city. December is a great period to enjoy the festive spirit and the cozy atmosphere of the city, as it lights up with decorations and celebrations. You can visit the Advent in Split, the largest Christmas market in the region, where you can find food, drinks, crafts, and entertainment. The festive atmosphere is most vibrant along the Riva, Pjaca, and Prokurative, where wooden-roofed stalls burst with festive foods, unique souvenirs, and the sweet melodies of seasonal concerts. Split also organizes a spectacular New Year’s Eve celebration on the Riva with concerts by popular Croatian musicians and a rich fireworks display at midnight.

In several locations in the city, ice rinks have been opened where both adults and children can demonstrate their skating skills. Those who are not brave enough to step on the ice can watch from a distance and enjoy mulled wine and other holiday treats, with fritters (fritule) being the most popular.

In mid-December, Split becomes a nautical paradise with the traditional Christmas regatta of cruisers, where dozens of sailboats sail the Adriatic Sea, competing in an exciting race that has become a favorite winter event for both locals and visitors.

During winter, the residents of Split maintain a unique tradition in which the bravest ones swim in the Adriatic Sea. If the weather is warm, the popular game of picigin is often played as well.

In January, a large number of the city’s museums participate in the traditional ‘’Night of the Museums’’ in which museums offer free entry for a part of the day and many other venues host special events. The two-day Split Carnival is organized in February and it includes lots of entertaining activities for both kids and adults.

For the true athletes, the Split Half Marathon, usually held in February, will feel like a special treat. The track is a bit over 21 km long and takes you from Riva, across the whole city, around Marjan Hill, and back to the starting point. This is the experience you will never forget.

If after a long day spent outside, you want to warm up and relax, you can visit the bar and the restaurant at the Marvie Hotel, where you can savor the local healthy cuisine, fine wines, and premium cocktails.

Enjoy Split in Every Season: A Year-Round Activity and Attraction Guide

Enjoy Split in Every Season: A Year-Round Activity and Attraction Guide

Due to its excellent location on the Adriatic coast and mild Mediterranean climate, Split has become a favorite destination for many visitors. Even though the majority of the tourists prefer spending their summer holidays here, Split has plenty to offer throughout the year. Every season has its charms and allows visitors to enjoy ancient ruins, modern attractions, or relaxing beaches. Nurturing a small-town vibe known for its noisy streets and easy-going locals, Split will conquer your heart from the moment you arrive. We have prepared a short guide on how to enjoy Split in every season, from spring to winter – to fully experience the beauty of this city. And – if you are staying at the Marvie Hotel & Health, you will have access to the best health and wellness services in the city.

Spring in Split

Spring is a great time to visit Split, as the weather is mild and sunny, and the crowds are not too big. You can explore the historical and cultural sights of the city, such as the Diocletian’s Palace, the Cathedral of Saint Domnius, and the Riva promenade. You can read about the city center in one of our previous blogs.

If you are in search of an active vacation, you can take a cycling tour or jog around Marjan Forest Park. To challenge yourself, go hiking in the nearby mountains of Kozjak and Mosor whose hiking routes and trails are tailored to different levels of hiker experience. Make sure that your plan includes a visit to the “Diocletian’s Path” trail, which stretches along the Vilar stream, between the towns of Žrnovnica and Srinjine. The trail follows the official road of the ancient Romans that extended from Salona to the east. The trail itself is not demanding, so you can enjoy a pleasant walk while exploring numerous natural and cultural landmarks.

Taking an excursion to the nearby cities and attractions is also recommended at this time of year as the roads are not too congested and the temperatures are perfect for exploring. We recommend visiting the ancient Salona in the vicinity of today’s Solin or exploring the cities of Trogir, Klis, or Omiš, which are located in the immediate surroundings of Split. You can learn more about each city on our previous blog.

At the beginning of March, the Flower Festival is organized at multiple locations with several different thematic programs and educational workshops. It hosts flower designers and florists from all over Europe making it a visually stunning event.

Split’s patron saint, Saint Domnius is celebrated on May 7th with a procession, mass, rich gastronomic offers, music, and lots of other local events.

Picigin, a popular beach game, has its own ‘’world’’ championship event organized each year in June. Even though it is not a world championship in a traditional sense, it still gathers lots of people who support their favorite players. One thing is certain: fun is guaranteed for both players and visitors!

If you want to relax and rejuvenate, you can visit the Renevie wellness zone at the Marvie Hotel, where you can choose from a variety of treatments, such as massages, facials, and body wraps. You can also use the pool, the jacuzzi, and the saunas.

Summer in Split

Summer is the peak season in Split, as the city becomes a hotspot for tourists and locals alike. The temperature can get quite high, so you might want to cool off at one of the many beaches in and around the city. Some of the most popular ones are Kašjuni, Bačvice, and Bene. You can also take a boat trip to the nearby islands, such as Hvar, Brač, and Vis, where you can enjoy the crystal-clear water and the scenic views.

If you are in search of some fun and entertainment, you can check out the events and festivals that take place in Split during the summer. Some of the most notable ones are the Split Summer Festival, which features music, theater, and dance performances, and the Ultra Europe Music Festival, which attracts some of the biggest names in electronic music. If you’re interested in history and want to participate in a unique experience, visit the Days of Diocletian, which transport Split back to the time when this emperor ruled the city. Roman legions and guards alternate on the city streets and squares, while Emperor Diocletian travels through the Riva and Peristyle in a carriage, greeting the gathered spectators. The sounds of fanfares, drummers, and Roman music echo through the city. The overall experience is complemented by a gastronomic offer from the time of Emperor Diocletian, together with concerts and other music programs. All the city’s historical and cultural attractions are must–see, but since the temperatures during the day can be quite high, we recommend taking an evening stroll down the streets of Split. This will also be a great opportunity to see how vibrant and positive this city is because the restaurants and bars are filled with people whose laughter echoes through the streets, intertwining with the summer music playing late into the night.

Even though all the delicious food, ice cream, cocktails, and other delicacies can be tempting while on vacation, don’t forget that balance is the key to a healthy lifestyle. Try to incorporate exercise into your vacation, and the fitness area at Marvie Hotel is perfect for a quick workout, whether on your own or with the guidance of professional trainers.

Autumn in Split

Autumn is a lovely time to visit Split, as the weather is still warm and pleasant, and the crowds are smaller. You can take advantage of the lower prices and the peaceful atmosphere to discover the hidden gems of the city, such as the Galerija Mestrović, which displays the works of the famous Croatian sculptor; or Split City Museum which demonstrates interesting displays of the development of the city. A detailed guide through the city’s most popular museums and galleries is available in our previous blog.

The sea in September is still warm, so many people enjoy swimming and relaxing at the beach. The weather is also perfect for sightseeing the historical monuments and enjoying the city in the quieter ambient. You can visit the Green Market and enjoy the fresh produce and local delicacies such as fruits, vegetables, cheese, meat specialties, and many more.

If you want to explore the nature and beauty of the Split area, try horseback riding. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced rider, numerous ranches in old Dalmatian villages offer horse riding opportunities, some even including a welcome drink or lunch. This way, you can spend the whole day outdoors, exploring ancient Roman roads and trails while enjoying the untouched nature.

Autumn is the best time of the year to take care of your skin, as it may become dry and damaged after the summer, due to high temperatures and sun exposure. Therefore, we recommend a visit to the dermatology clinic MediDerm at the Marvie Hotel, where you can schedule various treatments in the fields of plastic and vascular surgery, dermatovenereology, endocrinology, and other services. If you’re considering a smile transformation, visit the Implant Dental Center Ružević at the Marvie Hotel. With four modernly equipped examination rooms, a surgical hall, a sterilization room, and an X-ray, IDC Ružević is considered one of the most eminent and modern dental clinics in Dalmatia.

Winter in Split

During winter, the residents of Split maintain a unique tradition in which the bravest ones swim in the Adriatic Sea. If the weather is warm, the popular game of picigin is often played as well.

Regardless of whether you are interested in history, culture, nature, or entertainment, each season offers a unique opportunity to discover something new about Split. And if you are looking for a modern, comfortable, and convenient place to stay, you will find it at the Marvie Hotel & Health, where you will have access to the best health and wellness services in the city. Book your stay now and discover the beauty and charm of Split, Croatia.

Sustainable Business Travel: Making a Difference with Marvie Hotel & Health

As many organizations understand the importance of the impact they have on the environment and climate change, sustainably has become an important aspect of many business strategies, which is why numerous companies are redefining their approach to business travels. Sustainable business travel focuses on making choices that benefit the environment, local communities, and personal well-being, which means going beyond just reducing the carbon footprint. It encompasses the entire approach that involves accepting eco-friendly habits throughout the travel cycle, from planning and booking to transportation and accommodation.

Many benefits arise from adopting sustainable business travel practices. Firstly, it helps in preserving natural resources. As business travelers, the choice of transportation, accommodation, and activities in local communities have an impact on the environment. Opting for eco-friendly options helps conserve natural resources. Secondly, it supports local economies. Sustainable travel often involves engaging with local businesses, which contributes to their prosperity. Lastly, it enhances the overall travel experience. Sustainable travel can provide unique and fulfilling experiences. Exploring nature, participating locally in conservation efforts, and immersing in local cultures can make a business trip more rewarding, and employees more productive.

How Business Travelers Can Contribute to Sustainability?

Traveling for business can be done in an environment-friendly way by adopting the right habits. Here are some practical steps business travelers can take to promote sustainability:

1.Make travelling plans in advance

Effective planning plays a crucial role in achieving sustainable travel goals, enabling individuals to identify opportunities for minimizing the environmental footprint of their journeys. It is important to consider factors like the travel destination’s proximity, the available modes of transportation, and the choice of accommodations. This will help you in making eco-friendly decisions from the very beginning, but will also influence your behavior during the journey.

2.Pack light

The weight and the amount of luggage affect eco-friendly practices. The heavier the luggage, the more it contributes to the pollution. It is advisable to use a list to make sure you only bring what you need. Also, for short business trips, it is recommended to bring only a carry-on bag instead of a big, heavy suitcase. It’s easier and causes less pollution.

3.Think about the transportation options

Consider using public transportation or renting an electric car. Additionally, sharing a ride with other colleagues contributes to sustainability as it reduces the number of cars on the road and thus minimizes carbon emissions. If traveling by plane, choose carriers that have a sustainability strategy in place, such as fuel-efficient planes. Switching from paper to digital travel documents is an easy and handy way to help the environment. It cuts down on wasted paper, and it also makes planning and organizing your travel easier.

Once you arrive at your destination, whenever possible, use public transportation, walk, or use a bicycle. Look for hotels that are within walking distance to the event venue where you will be meeting for business purposes, or even better choose the hotel that has the business facilities within its premises. This will not only help reduce your carbon footprint but will also save you traveling time and boost your productivity.

4.Choose Green Accommodations

Book hotels that are committed to sustainability and have already implemented eco-friendly practices. For example, Marvie Hotel & Health prioritizes sustainability in all of its operations. Efficient heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems are installed to optimize energy usage. The hotel actively promotes energy conservation by encouraging guests to reuse towels and linens, thereby reducing water and electricity consumption. Moreover, we have been implementing eco-friendly room amenities, such as natural cellulosic hand towels, toilet paper, and facial tissues, as well as installing smart care dispensers that we re-fill with plant-based, organic shampoos.

We have also installed robust recycling programs to minimize waste whenever possible, reminding our guests to participate in these initiatives as well. Our restaurant serves locally sourced, organic, and seasonal ingredients. Supporting local farmers and reducing food miles is a priority for us. We offer information on eco-friendly transportation options and have charging stations for electric vehicles. We’re committed to making a positive impact. You can read more about our green initiative in one of our previous blogs.

Moreover, all of your business arrangements and work assignments can be done within the hotel, as Marvie offers coworking space equipped with everything you might need for a productive working day, such as a projector with a screen, a flipchart board, work desks, ergonomic chairs, and 200 Mbps Internet.

5.Reduce Energy Consumption

Make sure you act responsibly when within hotel premises: think about reducing water usage by taking shorter showers and reusing towels and linens instead of requesting daily replacements. Adjust the thermostat to an energy-efficient temperature. Consider minimizing plastic waste and carrying a reusable water bottle and shopping bag to reduce single-use plastic consumption. Additionally, turn off lights, air conditioning, and electronics when you’re not in your room (if not done automatically by the hotel where you are staying), and use natural light during the day.

As we enter a new phase of business travel, it’s important to reconsider your company’s strategies and adopt new eco-friendly approaches. Sustainable business travel stands out because it’s a win-win situation for both your company and the local community.

Through conscious choices and behaviors, business travelers can significantly contribute to environmental conservation. Sustainable travel isn’t just a trend; it’s a responsible and rewarding way to explore the world. Sustainability has become a necessity.

At Marvie Hotel & Health, we’re committed to making a difference, and we believe business travelers can play a significant role in environmental conservation while on the road. That is why we’re dedicated to sustainability in every aspect of our operations. As a guest at Marvie Hotel & Health, you’re not just staying in a hotel; you’re becoming a part of our commitment to a greener future. We invite you to join us in making the world a better place, one sustainable journey at a time. Together, we can create an eco-friendlier and more harmonious world for generations to come.

Balancing your Hormones: The Key to Vital Health

Balancing your Hormones: The Key to Vital Health

Hormones are chemical messengers that coordinate different bodily functions, such as metabolism, growth, reproduction, mood, and sleep. They are produced by various glands and organs that make up the endocrine system. When our hormones are balanced, we feel good and our body works optimally. When hormones are imbalanced, it can lead to a wide range of health issues, such as weight gain, mood swings, anxiety or irritability, brain fog or memory loss, acne or dry skin, hair loss or thinning, hot flashes or night sweats, irregular periods or infertility and fatigue. Certain hormonal imbalances can be temporary, while others can develop into chronic, long-term. Therefore, some hormonal imbalances require treatments due to the severe impact they might have on general well-being. In contrast, others may not impact our health, but can negatively affect the quality of life. Many factors can disrupt hormonal balance, such as stress, aging, genetics, environmental toxins, medications, and poor diet. If you ever notice a change in your day-to-day health and are experiencing new symptoms that repeat over time, it is important to talk to your doctor. Treatment for a hormonal imbalance will depend on what’s causing it. If you have lower-than-normal hormone levels, the main treatment is hormone replacement therapy, in the form of oral medication (pills) or injection medication. If you have higher-than-normal hormone levels, there are many treatment options depending on the cause, such as medication, surgery, radiation therapy, or a combination of any of these.

Preventing hormonal imbalance

Our hormonal health depends on the general condition of our organism, which requires a long-term approach focused on embracing certain lifestyle changes and practices.

A holistic approach to health includes not only exercise and nutrition but also mindfulness, stress management, and adequate sleep. It is also important to manage your chronic health conditions well (if applicable) and to stop smoking or using tobacco products. These are some of the steps you can take to keep your hormones in balance:

Exercise regularly: Physical activity can help regulate your hormones by reducing stress, improving blood sugar, boosting metabolism, and enhancing mood. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days of the week, and include a mix of aerobic, strength, and flexibility exercises. Regular physical activity is a powerful tool in maintaining hormonal balance. Exercise helps your body produce endorphins, improving mood, reducing stress, and increasing overall well-being. Additionally, it helps regulate insulin, which is essential for maintaining steady blood sugar levels. Physical activity also boosts growth hormone, which is crucial for tissue repair and muscle growth. However, avoid over-exercising, which could lead to elevated cortisol levels and stress. Taking rest days is important to get the best hormonal benefits from your workouts.

If you don’t know where to start or how to create your exercise schedule, at Marvie Hotel & Health, we offer a range of exercise programs and facilities to help you stay active and keep your hormones in check. Our professional staff can help answer all your concerns and questions and plan a workout routine that best suits your needs.

Eat a balanced diet: What you eat can have a significant impact on your hormones. A balanced diet plays a vital role in hormonal health. When you provide your body with the necessary nutrients, it can regulate hormones effectively. Choose a diet rich in whole foods, including plenty of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats, and avoid foods that are high in sugar, refined carbs, trans fats, and artificial additives. Some of the best foods for hormonal health include:

Lean meats, eggs, fish, and dairy for protein and essential amino acids.
Nuts, seeds, avocados, and olive oil for healthy fats and omega-3 fatty acids.
Fruits, vegetables, and whole grains for fiber and antioxidants.
Legumes, leafy greens, and nuts for iron, magnesium, and B vitamins.
Yogurt, kefir, and fermented foods for probiotics and gut health.

Consider a gluten-free diet: Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, rye, and spelt. It can cause digestive issues, inflammation, and immune reactions in some people, especially those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. A gluten-free diet can help reduce these symptoms and improve your hormonal balance by enhancing nutrient absorption, lowering inflammation, and supporting gut health. With the assistance of your doctor, consider incorporating gluten-free options if you have sensitivities or allergies, as gluten can sometimes disrupt hormonal balance. If you are looking for recipe inspiration, Marvie’s restaurant Da’Mar offers a variety of gluten-free dishes and healthy menu options, ensuring that you have a wide selection of nourishing foods to choose from.

Manage your stress: Stress can cause a major disruption in your hormones by triggering the release of cortisol, the stress hormone. Cortisol can interfere with the production and function of other hormones, such as insulin, thyroid, estrogen, and testosterone. Chronic stress can also lead to weight gain, diabetes, heart disease, and depression. To manage your stress, practice relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing, meditation, yoga, or massage. You can also try to reduce the sources of stress in your life, such as work, relationships, or finances. Occasional massages, relaxing techniques, or spa days can help in relaxing and lowering cortisol levels. For example, a visit to Marvie Hotel & Health which provides a serene environment for relaxation, and meditation can help maintain healthy hormone levels.

Get enough sleep: Sleep is essential for your hormonal health, as it helps regulate your circadian rhythm. The circadian rhythm is a natural, internal process that regulates the sleep-wake cycle and repeats roughly every 24 hours. It’s often referred to as the body’s “biological clock”. Your circadian rhythm affects the secretion and activity of various hormones, such as melatonin, cortisol, growth hormone, and leptin. The ideal amount of sleep required for most adults is around 7 to 9 hours. Lack of sleep can cause hormonal imbalances, leading to fatigue, mood disorders, obesity, and diabetes. To improve your sleep quality, follow a regular sleep schedule, avoid caffeine, alcohol, and electronics before bed, and make your bedroom dark, quiet, and comfortable.

If you follow these tips, you can balance your hormones naturally and enjoy better health and wellness. However, if you have severe or persistent symptoms of hormonal imbalance, you should consult your doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment. You may also benefit from visiting Marvie Hotel & Health where you can enjoy a range of health and wellness services tailored to solving the specific issues that may bother you. At Marvie Hotel and Health, we understand the importance of hormonal balance and offer the resources, facilities, and gluten-free and other dietary menus necessary to support your health and well-being. So, whether you’re staying with us as a guest or looking for ways to enhance your health, remember that hormonal harmony is key to health and well-being, and we’re here to help you achieve it.
