The acquisition of Miamedica prevents liquidation, and Istria's only thermal spa embarks on a new development cycle.
Ergomed d.o.o. from Zagreb fulfilled all legal conditions on Monday, August 4, 2026, to take over Miamedica, the owner of Istarske Toplice. This strategic move has paved the way for a new era of development for one of Croatia's most renowned thermal spas.
Ergomed, which owns the Special Hospital Medico in Rijeka and Pula and the Solmed Polyclinic in Zagreb, is expanding its operations into rehabilitation and health tourism through this acquisition, further strengthening its healthcare group.
The bankruptcy plan has allowed Miamedica to continue its operations, avoiding liquidation and the sale of assets. This has secured the prerequisites for the lasting progress of Istarske Toplice by combining their long-standing spa heritage with Ergomed's medical expertise and professional knowledge.
Ergomed emphasizes that this acquisition is a key strategic move for the entire group, as well as an opportunity for Istarske Toplice to return among Croatia's leading spa institutions.
Istarske Toplice, located in the Mirna River valley, is Istria's only natural thermal spa. Its tradition of providing health services dates back to ancient times, and it is precisely the natural characteristics of the location that form the basis for future growth.
The new owner plans to focus on enhancing medical programs, rehabilitation, and wellness offerings. The plans include a gradual renovation and modernization of the entire complex, as well as improvements to existing facilities, with the goal of making Istarske Toplice a significant center of health tourism in Croatia once again.
