A magical and healing power is ascribed to Bled, its fairytale setting, its unique climate and its endless energy. Bled has been an internationally renowned climatic and thermal health resort for more than a century. Its tradition stretches back to the 19th century when the Swiss doctor Arnold Rikli established a spa here, based on the natural resources of the region – fresh Alpine air, healing thermal water and numerous sunny days.

The Živa Wellness Centre aims to further the proud tradition of Arnold Rikli, who discovered powerful remedies in his unique healing methods. We have enhanced and enriched his methods by using state-of-the-art techniques to maintain the health and beauty of the body and spirit via high-quality cosmetic products and a personal touch. At the Golf Hotel we have built a temple to Živa, the ancient Slavic goddess of fertility, sowing and harvest. Indeed a temple to the beauty of body and mind. It is going to be easy for all to find divine relaxation in the thermal baths, the world of saunas and the centre for the beauty of the body and spirit.

Arnold Rikli wrote that each thought, breath, heartbeat, feeling, belief and movement sends energy signals through the body which affect the whole being.
