The construction of a new health and tourist resort should soon begin in Stubičke Toplice (Stubičke Spa), and the investment value is estimated at 105 million Euros. The complex will be spread across about 125,000 square meters where three hotels will be built, one five and two four-star hotels, as well as a complex of thermal spas, wellness zones and a large aqua park. A convention centre as well as a trade-business and policlinic-medical centres will also be built. The larger Grand hotel will have 450 beds, while the other two, Stubaki and Maximilian will hold 250 beds each. Also planned is the building of eco-villas and ethno villages with a mill as it once existed, and the Special Hospital for sports injuries with around 50 beds.
Stubičke Toplice is located 40 kilometers north of Zagreb, and 80 percent of the municipality is located in the Nature Park Medvednica, a valuable area with rarely preserved and almost untouched nature. It is a tame area with plenty of green hills, from which the hill Kamenjak stands out, just above the bathing grounds with medicinal thermal waters. Stubičke Toplice was first mentioned in1567, and it is assumed that the old Romans had used it. The first pool was built in 1776 and subsequently Stubičke Toplice became a thermal bathing ground and spa in the 19th century, while in the early 20th century it was known throughout Central Europe as a fashionable spa.
The carriers of the tourism offer, recreation, health and conference tourism with a longest tradition, are hotel "Matija Gubec" and Special Hospital for Medical Rehabilitation.
The hotel has 220 beds and closed and semi-closed pools with thermal curative water. Pleasant climate, richness of nature and thermal waters provide opportunities for visits to the open bathing grounds with eight pools, from spring to autumn.
The Special hospital for medical rehabilitation is known as a tourist health center in Croatia. In addition to the core business of healing and rehabilitation, the hospital has developed the following programs: medical program for active holidays, a program for pensioners, an anti-stress program, a program for managers, weight loss and remedial programs.
The thermal water of Stubičke Toplice is characterized by high temperatures of 43-63 degrees centigrades, and it matches the quality of the famous thermal waters in Karlovy Vary.
