Family friendly, the Circle has a number of outdoor swimming pools, sauna and massage facilities – a great place to rest tired feet.
This multi million euro compound is used as a training facility for some of Croatia’s top football teams and comes with modern gym and both outdoor and indoor pitches.
There is an outdoor bar and restaurant, an ideal place to spend a quiet and relaxing evening.

Walking
Nestled up in the mountains, Medjugorje is surrounded by beautiful views. There are many little country roads to be explored and walkways through vineyards and forests. Likened to an Ireland of sixty years ago, there is great peace and tranquillity to be found in and around Medjugorje’s surrounding area.

Wine and spirits have been part of the tradition of this region for hundreds of years with most local people still carrying on the old customs.
