Re-discover this irreplaceable link between our existence and our wellbeing.

Dive into the sea of wellbeing, which you can experience just like Artnik in the waters of Slovenia.
If we lived in a fairytale, Alenka Artnik could have easily been a mermaid. As an exceptional freediver who has been brought up on the Slovenian coast, she has pushed the boundaries, reaching the depths of the sea without the use of a scuba tank several times. Ever since she could remember, Artnik felt a connection to water and sports. As a child, she practised kayaking and attended championships. But her difficult personal story prevented her from further competition. It was only in her early thirties that she returned to sports more seriously. This time, she chose freediving.
Water saved my life.
Alenka Artnik, world-renowned freediver
Although this water sport gave wings to Artnik and freed her from the chains of the past, she is aware that mental health must also be nurtured for success. Meditation, wellbeing and relaxation are thus the bases for the world records which Artnik attained one after another.
Artnik has been connected to the sea for most of her life. The sea serves as an inspiration, meditation and the source of strength for this Koper native, which was very useful when she had to deal with the difficult trials of life. She enjoys looking at its soothing azure and taking in a deep breath of salt-scented air. She finds inspiration and peace within when meditating among the fragrant pine trees, which is beneficial for her sports career as well. And the peace she feels while surrounded by the vast underground world is precious and cathartic for her.
Slovenia’s thermal spas and health resorts are crucial for Artnik’s regeneration. The Koper native says that she can rest only when she returns home, to Slovenia. Thermal springs, with their diverse chemical composition, contribute significantly to the regeneration of athletes, helping to alleviate certain medical conditions and enhancing health and wellbeing. There is also that liberating feeling of floating in pools of thermal water that gently caresses us like a mother’s touch. In the healthy waters of Slovenia, Artnik also finds the fresh energy for her new endeavours.
Wellbeing is of the utmost importance for freedivers. And I can’t imagine a better place to find it than at home, in Slovenia.
