From Marcus Antonius Primus to the von Pettau family

One of the youngest spas in Slovenia is located close to Slovenia’s oldest town, full of stories of the past: from ancient Poetovio and the famous Roman general Marcus Antonius Primus, to the
Von Pettau family who built imposing Ptuj Castle above the town. Here the winter is driven away by “kurenti” – one of Slovenia’s most interesting ethnological curiosities.

Awakening traditions of pleasure
The Thermal Park (4,200 m2 of pools and numerous water attractions) and the Valens Augusta
Wellness Centre pamper guests of the Grand Hotel Primus, the apartments and chalets and the modern campsite. The tradition of bathing in Ptuj dates back to Antiquity, when patrician Romans visited the thermae or baths. There were also baths in medieval Ptuj, while in the 19th century the townsfolk made use of a bathing place on the river Drava. A century later, when Ptuj had been without public baths for a long time, it was decided to bore into the earth once again. On that occasion thermal water bubbled to the surface, today a source of new forms of pampering. The young spa revives Roman traditions!
