Editorial update · 08 October 2026
Opened in February 2024 near Osijek, Hotel Materra has 61 accommodation units and a 1,500 m² wellness centre; named Wellness Hotel of the Year in 2025.
A retreat shaped by the Slavonian landscape
Hotel Materra opened in February 2024 in Čepin, a short drive from Osijek. This is not a seaside property, nor should it be described as a 2026 opening. Its 61 contemporary rooms, generous views and quiet location offer another idea of Croatian luxury: open land, distinctive regional food and time with less distraction.
A 1,500 m² spa for unhurried days
The wellness centre brings together a heated indoor pool, several saunas, treatment spaces, a jacuzzi and relaxation areas. The hotel also introduced a separate private spa experience in 2025. It was recognised as Wellness Hotel of the Year at the 2025 Croatian Tourism Days, according to the operator. Confirm treatment availability and access conditions before visiting.
Make the journey part of the stay
Materra sits by the Terra Negra country-club grounds, within reach of Osijek, the food and wine traditions of Baranja and the historic towns of eastern Croatia. Ask the hotel about its regional dining, wellness programmes and whether the spa is open to non-residents. The estate is best appreciated as a two- or three-night countryside pause, not as a hurried add-on to a coast-focused itinerary.
