Hotel Minerva in Medulin, which recently opened its doors, is a unique hotel in Croatia which primarily directs its services towards health tourism and the guests who suffer from respiratory diseases, ie asthma, bronchitis and other allergic diseases where disease and problems to health are caused by environmental factors.
The whole tourist offer and infrastructure has been concieved with this task in mind. This unique concept of service is derived from the natural environment ideal for asthma and pulmonary diseases patients, which then became the backbone of the new, specifically targeted offer of this hotel. Guests also can use a variety of programs, from school of breathing to a number of programs under the supervision of a medical specialist, pulmonologist, and pulmonary physiotherapy physiotherapists.
Programs consist of a theoretical part - education about the disease: how to lower the frequency of acute attacs, training on the use of the device with the drug (Peak-flow meter), avoiding contact with allergens and other causes of respiratory obstruction.
During their stay and education training each user will get their own asthma diary in which they will enter data and results of measuring the capacity of the airways.
The second part of the program refers to the practice of breathing exercises and training in the open, using the beneficial effect of mild Mediterranean climate, sea water and aerosols as well as aromatic oils from medicinal plants and pleasant, relaxing walks along the coast.
Every customer is treated individually, which is particularly important for those who are sensitive to certain allergens which are present in the immediate environment or are components of food that is consumed in the hotel.
Trips and visits to cultural attractions and events in Istria as well as acquaintance with the Istrian gastronomic delights and rich sports activities are also planned within the program.
The hotel's infrastructure is also fully adapted to the aforementioned type of guests and only the natural and "healthy materials" that were not treated with any chemicals, from floors, walls, bedding, rugs, and hygiene supplies in the bathroom were used. Also, air conditioning filters and water pipes achieved necessary certificates and everything has been subject to the needs of health.
