Renovation of Grand Hotel Toplice, Sava Hotels Bled

Sava Hoteli Bled

We are working on a project to renovate Grand Hotel Toplice, Bled’s most elegant and iconic hotel; one with almost 90 years of tradition. In renovating this one-of-a-kind hotel, our priorities are sustainability and honouring the tradition reflected in various details of the property. We will preserve these original, unique elements that date back to the time when the hotel was built, only modernising them slightly.

Energy renovations, Sava Hotels & Resorts

After the installation of solar power plants at most of our resorts, completion of the energy and environmental overhaul of the boiler room at Grand Hotel Bernardin, St. Bernardin Resort Portorož, and the overhaul of the boiler room at Grand Hotel Primus, Terme Ptuj, energy-related renovations will continue in 2026. As part of the complete overhaul of the boiler room at Hotel Histrion and Hotel Vile Park, St. Bernardin Resort Portorož, for hot sanitary water and heating throughout the complex, the LPG system will be replaced with a heat pump. This will complete the process of reducing our carbon footprint by eliminating the use of fossil fuels and installing solar power panels on the roofs of all buildings in order to power the heat pump. The comprehensive renovation of Grand Hotel Toplice will also include an energy overhaul.

Energy renovations Sava Hotels & Resorts

In 2024, the Grand Hotel Bernardin boiler room was given an energy and environmental overhaul, replacing oil-fired furnaces with water-to-air heat pumps. This means that 90% of heating and cooling is now powered by electricity and energy from the sea. In 2024, we will also refurbish the boiler room at Grand Hotel Primus in Ptuj, replacing the majority of the machinery powered by fossil fuel (natural gas) with a heat pump that uses thermal water energy and electricity for heating and cooling. The comprehensive renovation of Grand Hotel Toplice will also include an energy overhaul.

Alternative energy sources at Sava Hotels & Resorts

In recent years, we have implemented several energy-saving investment measures – i.e.
energy renovations of buildings, such as thermal envelopes, replacement of builders’
joinery, and renovation of energy systems – which have an impact on energy savings. In
recent years, we have implemented a number of energy-saving measures as part of a more
sustainable operating concept (energy-saving light bulbs, tap aerators, waste compaction).
These measures, all of which are of course sustainable and economical, do not negatively
affect the comfort of our guests. In the long term, we will focus on the introduction of new
alternative energy sources such as solar energy for hot water and the additional use of
geothermal energy, an area in which we have already made the biggest steps.

Sava Hotels & Resorts

Installation of solar power plants

In 2023, we completed the installation of solar power plants at Health Resort Zdravilišče Radenci, and in
2024 we will continue with the installation of solar power plants at the St. Bernardin Resort in Portorož (on Hotel Histrion and Hotel Vile Park). In 2024, we started the energy renovation of the heating and cooling system of Grand Hotel Bernardin, replacing the old cooling and heating systems with modern energy-saving ones. The focus is on harnessing the energy of seawater with state-of-the-art heat pumps. At the beginning of 2025, we will install solar power plants on the facilities in Terme 3000 - Moravske Toplice.

PANNONIAN THERMAL RESORTS

Hotel Termal – Renovation of the Hotel Restaurant, Terme 3000 - Moravske Toplice

At Hotel Termal in Terme 3000, guests are now welcomed by a refreshed hotel restaurant, adorned in natural color tones. A special highlight of the restaurant’s interior is undoubtedly the attractive hanging lights, featuring a unique element of local craftsmanship – the traditional Prekmurje technique of straw or corn husk weaving.

Hotel Termal**** – renovation of the rooms, Terme 3000 – Moravske Toplice

Part of the rooms – specifically 54 rooms of Hotel Termal – received a refreshed look in 2025, continuing the story of its unique thermal bath, centered around the harmony of energies and natural elements. In the renovation, we drew inspiration from the story of our beneficial thermo-mineral water, the four fundamental elements of nature, and the energy of four different crystals – clear quartz, purple amethyst, pink rose quartz, and black hematite. The 54 renovated rooms tell the story of two crystals: rose quartz and hematite.

Two new waterslides in the Terme Ptuj Thermal Park

In 2024, the largest waterslide system in Slovenia received two new, even more colourful and adrenaline-filled slides, which will surely impress even the most demanding water fun enthusiasts! The first is a yellow-orange slide that we named Aquatube, a completely enclosed, twisted vortex of fun. The second is an attractive slide which is made with all the different colours of the other slides in the water park, and which we named Sphere. You slide down it on air cushions because of the sphere – a space where the bather spins and turns and returns to the sliding part – and it is the only waterslide of its kind, not only in Slovenia but also in the broader region.

Thermal park and hotel pools

New slides for summer fun In Terme 3000 Thermal water park

The thermal water park Terme 3000 – Moravske Toplice, which for many years has been ranked by bathers as one the best large water parks in Slovenia, got two new waterslides in 2024. The first, a curved slide with an extra attraction and natural lighting, which is a safe and suitable water fun choice for all age groups, and the second, a slide consisting of 4 adjacent slides, which are ideal for competition and fun for all family members, even the youngest.

Thermal park and hotel pools

Fun water playground

To make the experience of bathing at the Terme 3000 thermal water park complete, we renovated the entire bathing platform. Our youngest bathers are sure to be delighted by the new park with fun sprinklers and exciting water games, which will provide refreshment on hot summer days for children.

Thermal park and hotel pools

Construction of a reinjection well

Every year at Terme 3000 – Moravske Toplice, we pump nearly 1 million cubic litres of thermal water for our swimming pools and for heating. The underground pool from which this water is drawn has plenty of water, and the water level is not dropping. However, in order to ensure this for future generations, we have decided to return some of the pumped water to the depths of the earth, to ensure that future generations can enjoy the beneficial effects of our black thermo-mineral water without hesitation.

Hotel Livada Prestige – renovation of the wellness centre with world of saunas

Having completed the renovation of the rooms and the bathing complex in Hotel Livada Prestige in 2022, we are starting the renovation of the wellness area and its world of saunas in 2024. For this renovation, we will use as many natural materials as possible in order to round off the strong connection the elegant 5-star Hotel Livada Prestige shares with the local environment and the rich tradition of the Prekmurje region.

Saunas at the Radenci Spa baths

Ajda Restaurant

In 2019, we completed the renovation of the hotel restaurant at Hotel Ajda, which continues the story of buckwheat, the underlying theme of Hotel Ajda. The renovation brought new freshness to the restaurant, as well as magnificent views of Prekmurje’s nature and of the golf course, modernity, a grand terrace to enjoy the Prekmurje sunshine, more seating for guests, and a separate buffet with local culinary delights.

Hotel Ajda

Mobile homes

In July 2020, we completed the renovation of the entire mobile home village at Camping Terme Ptuj, which is modern, natural, and open to nature. The mobile homes offer guests a free and simple stay in nature, with close proximity to the thermal park and a wide range of activities in the surrounding area. They are suitable for both families and couples. The mobile home village will be surrounded by a grove of lavender, which is so characteristic of Terme Ptuj, as it was used for health and well-being by the ancient Romans more than 2000 years ago.

We have transformed this area into a Health Lounge – a relaxation space dedicated to taking care of your health, and allowing you to experience unique moments while drinking our mineral water.

Health Lounge

Ajda hotel pools

In 2018, Hotel Ajda renovated its bathing area, where buckwheat inspired the furnishings through lights, colours, and murals, and pillows filled with buckwheat husks. We added a larger children’s pool with playground equipment, a bath with black thermal mineral water, and two massage pools to complement the main pool. Everything is furnished with natural materials.

Hotel Ajda

Health and Well-being Bridge

Since 2017, the renovated indoor thermal park of Terme 3000 – Moravske Toplice and the hotel complex have been connected by a glazed, wooden, heated Health and Well-being Bridge. Guests can walk from the hotel to the thermal park in a bathrobe and relax with the scent of herbs from the Prekmurje fields.

Indoor Thermal Park Terme 3000

Renovated in July 2017, the indoor thermal park of Terme 3000 is a modern and welcoming space where wood and gravel blend into a natural ambience. The space is divided into two parts: the lower part is lively and family-friendly, and the upper part is for rest and relaxation, and includes saunas.

Thermal park and hotel pools

Termal hotel pools

Completely renovated in 2015, the Termal swimming pool complex is a harmony of water, earth, fire, and air that boosts health and restores energy. The ambience allows you to connect with these elements while enjoying the vibrations of the crystals, the colours of light, the saunas, and the pools. The rotating cube at the entrance symbolises inner balance.

Hotel Termal

Hotel Ajda****

In 2016 and 2017, Hotel Ajda underwent the two-phase renovation of 134 en suite rooms, and of the lobby, reception, and bar. Each room offers interesting stories about buckwheat, and pillows filled with buckwheat hulls to promote relaxation and well-being. The story of buckwheat, which has been growing in the fields of Prekmurje for 500 years, is integrated into the guest experience. All of Hotel Ajda’s services focus on guests’ health and on a connection to buckwheat.

Hotel Ajda

Holiday Houses Prekmurska vas Ajda****

In 2019, we renovated 14 houses, comprising a total of 54 units. These charming wooden houses were inspired by the traditional thatched-roof Prekmurje houses known as “cimprače”. The new houses will have thatched roofs, but unlike the “cimprače”, they boast plenty of light and comfort. The ground floor living area with a terrace is a perfect setting for unforgettable family moments. After a day filled with adventure, you can rest peacefully in the upstairs bedroom on pillows filled with buckwheat hulls.
