Croatia Crowned for the Cleanest European Coastal Bathing Water Quality
22.07.2024 - 18:43 / breakingtravelnews.com
The report by the European Commission and the European Environment Agency once again shows that the quality of bathing water in Croatia is among the highest in Europe and ranks first when it comes to coastal bathing areas. The bathing water quality was monitored at 22,081 bathing sites across 27 member states, as well as Albania and Switzerland.
Of the 936 bathing sites tested in 2023 in Croatia, 905, or 96.7%, were of excellent quality. When it comes to coastal bathing sites alone, Croatia ranks first in Europe, with 886 out of 894 tested waters being of excellent quality, which is 99.1%. Croatia’s clear clean and blue waters are the result of a combination of factors, including its high salt concentration, its geographic location, and its connection to Africa. These factors contribute to the growth of phytoplankton and a thriving marine ecosystem, making Croatian beaches a unique and beautiful destination for travellers from around the world.
Preserved cleanliness and ecosystem in Croatia further boosts opportunities for an active seaside holiday, along with other health benefits, such as possibly reducing symptoms of hay fever and sinusitis, as well as other respiratory symptoms. Medical charity Allergy UK claims people who live by, and swim in, the sea tend to have healthier respiratory systems. They say seawater is cleansing and mimics the body’s own fluids in the lining of the airways.

Watsu Therapy Is Making a Comeback at Spas Around the World
“Welcome back,” says the Watsu therapist as I open my eyes. We’re in a dimly lit room, under a domed ceiling freckled with LED lights that mimic constellations. As we emerge out of the circular pool, I feel like I’ve truly been transported out of the space. I'm at JOALI Being, a pampering wellness resort in the Maldives. It might seem an unlikely spot to experience a mind-body epiphany, and yet Watsu—a trademarked, massage-like treatment that takes place in water—has revealed to me much more than a massage (or even a therapy session, to be honest) ever has.
