The best ideas for family holidays in Slovenian thermal spas

Fun in the water, entertainment programmes and family-friendly accommodation will turn your thermal spa family holiday into an unforgettable adventure.

Thermal spa experiences for the whole family

Why are Slovenia's thermal spas so popular for family holidays? When it comes to spas, the first thing that comes to mind is the attractive water parks that guarantee all-day fun for every member of the family. Slovenia's healing thermal waters are linked to numerous legends and stories that intrigue adults and, when told by engaging storytellers, delight children too. But the fun and inspiration continue beyond the pools. A variety of entertainment programmes and experiences within the spas and their surroundings ensure that you’ll never be bored.  And when you’re pleasantly tired after a fun-filled day, you can stay overnight in family-friendly accommodation.

Thermal experiences for the whole family
