Međimurje · Croatia

Somewhere between the vineyards and the river.

This isn't the Croatia most travellers know. And that's precisely the point.

The place

A landscape known from the inside.

Međimurje is Andrijana's home: the place where she was born, grew up and still lives. For AUREMA, that changes everything.

Guests aren't being shown a destination from the outside. They are welcomed into two real homes — first Sukha Vacation House, belonging to Andrijana's friends, and later Andrijana's own home in Čakovec — while discovering a landscape the host knows through everyday life: its roads, food, people, rhythms and small places that rarely become headline attractions.

The retreat moves between the green hills of Upper Međimurje, local food and farms, thermal water, the Mura and Drava river landscapes, and the urban rhythm of Čakovec.

AUREMA doesn't simply use Međimurje as a backdrop. Međimurje is part of the retreat.

Say Croatia and most people picture the sea. But ours is green.
