Unique and sustainable garden-to-skin concept

Hailed as the sunniest island in Europe, there is little wonder why charming Hvar is a haven for health and wellbeing. Since 1868, the island has been recognised as Europe’s top destination for therapeutic healing. Surrounded by heavenly scented lavender fields and rugged olive groves, the Pharomatiq Spa promotes the unique restorative powers of the island with a sustainable garden-to-skin inspired menu. This menu features home-grown herbs and locally sourced essential oils made by luxury skincare specialists L’aventure en Primitivance-superpowered by Dalmatian botanicals. L’aventure en Primitivance’s luxury Belle de Jour Serum Visage utilises the power of the ancient Immortelle flower. This native plant has miraculous anti-inflammatory properties that help skin regain its strength and suppleness. Combined with local olive leaf extract, pomegranate seed oil and jasmine extract, this traditional flower produces a super serum that restores your youthful glow. Aligned with Maslina Resort’s mindful luxury philosophy, all products are 100% natural and cruelty-free. Skilled therapists tailor these luxurious oils to the specific needs of individuals so that each guest experiences the very best of Hvar’s natural remedies.
