The fourth issue of Via Slavonija & Baranja magazine was presented on Friday, 28 November, bringing together numerous representatives from the tourism and business sectors who showcased projects and achievements that continue to shape the growth of Slavonia and Baranja as a rising continental destination.
The new edition highlights this year’s award winners from the Croatian Tourism Days, further emphasising the region’s strength and diversity in tourism development. Among the awards is Hotel Materra, recognised as Croatia’s Best Wellness Hotel, alongside other notable individuals who significantly contribute to the region’s visibility and appeal. Franjo Vinković, a blacksmith from Đakovo and leader of creative tourism workshops, was awarded the title of Tourism Animator of the Year for his innovative and engaging approach to cultural interpretation. At the same time, Bernarda Fuis, owner of the Ondine apartment and tasting room in Zmajevac, received the title of Host of the Year for her authentic hospitality and dedication to local tradition.
The promotion also highlighted broader regional achievements: Osijek-Baranja County was named Croatia’s Most Desirable Continental Destination, and the HeadOnEast festival was awarded Tourist Event of the Year, further confirming the growing recognition of Slavonia and Baranja on the national tourism map.
Via Slavonija & Baranja offers inspiring stories, collaborative projects, and authentic experiences, bringing together the region’s rich gastronomic heritage, cultural offering, and unique local identity that make eastern Croatia truly distinctive.

At the 2025 Tourism Days in Dubrovnik, hotel Materra, part of the Žito Group, was named Wellness Hotel of the Year—an honour that holds special significance for us.
Over the past two years, we have strived to create a place connected with the surrounding nature, infused with refined comfort and high service standards. At the heart of our work is the guest, and our mission is to provide a unique experience inspired by the rich Slavonian tradition, interpreted in a contemporary and sophisticated way — creating a lasting impression that remains long after their stay. This recognition is the result of the dedicated work of our entire team and serves as motivation to continue developing the distinctive experience we aim to offer our guests. We are grateful to everyone who supports us, especially our guests, whose trust forms the foundation of the experiences that lie at the core of Hotel Materra’s values. This award is a vital encouragement and a strong incentive to continue working with the same commitment and care, guiding our further development and continual pursuit of excellence.
We are also pleased to congratulate the Tourist Board of Osijek-Baranja County on receiving the award for Most Desirable Destination of Continental Croatia – a recognition that further highlights the quality, uniqueness, and potential of our region.“
We look forward to the future, new projects, and the continued development of both the region and Hotel Materra – a place where authenticity, nature, and hospitality come together.
We are proud that Hotel Materra has been selected as one of the three finalists of the Croatian Sustainable Tourism Award in the category Best Sustainable Tourism Business/Company.
This recognition is a great honor for us and an encouragement to continue improving the sustainable practices we apply in our daily operations. From the very beginning, our goal has been to create a place where sustainability, nature, and hospitality come together to offer a truly unique experience.
The official presentation of the finalists took place on Friday, November 7, 2025, at the University of Zagreb, where we had the opportunity to share our story and approach to sustainable tourism with the expert jury. The announcement of the winners and the awards ceremony will be held at the Days of Croatian Tourism, taking place from November 19 to 21, 2025, in Dubrovnik.
We would like to thank the organizers for recognizing our efforts, as well as all our guests and partners who share our vision of responsible and sustainable tourism.
Dear guests,
Following media inquiries regarding the severe storm that hit the Osijek area this afternoon, including Čepin, we would like to inform you that the storm uprooted several trees near the Materra Hotel in Čepin and caused minor damage to the outdoor terrace of the Materra Hotel.
All guests and employees are safe, and the hotel continues to operate. Our team is already eliminating the consequences and we are taking all measures to ensure that guest services remain uninterrupted.
No one was injured, and that is the most important thing to us.
