About us

Within the hospital complex there is a unique one medical-therapeutic beach which allows people with disabilities to enter and exit the sea. During the summer months, it is a favorite gathering place for hospital patients, but also for citizens and visitors to the city of Rovinj who need a customized and / or assisted entry into the sea.

The beach has three ramps, depending on the level of independence of the patient: Descent A and B are exclusively for people staying in the hospital and have a doctor's examination and a card. Descent A is intended for people who are transferring with the help of a physiotherapist and have been examined by a doctor and have a card indicating the use of the sea. Descent B is used by people who can make their own transfer to the trolley for descent into the sea with the help of a trapeze or the assistance of their own escort. Descent C is intended for users who can enter the sea on their own (without the assistance of a physiotherapist) using a ramp and their own wheelchair.

In addition to swimming, enjoy soaking up the sun on deckchairs designed to be accessible to people with disabilities - stable solid wood deckchairs are suitable for people with disabilities in height, making transfer easier. 

On our hospital beach you can completely relax and enjoy the joys of summer, while feeling safe with our occupational therapists who are always at your service.

Currently, a new pool complex is being built on three floors with an area of 3637 square meters, which will replace the existing one and is intended for patients of the orthopedic hospital, as well as athletes and recreationists.

A rehabilitation pool measuring 12.60x6m is intended for the needs of patients of the orthopedic hospital, while a larger pool measuring 25x33m is under construction for the needs of athletes and recreationists. The pools will have separate entrances.

The construction of the pool complex will enable the opening of a new hydrotherapy department and an additional physical therapy department. Furthermore, the modern swimming pool complex positions the Hospital "Martin Horvat 1888" Rovinj-Rovigno on a national and international level in terms of thalassotherapy and hydrotherapy.

When building the pool complex, we pay special attention to the architecture in order to aesthetically fit the new building with the existing surrounding buildings, which are under conservation protection.
